Thank goodness, this is NOT MY CITY!
Two towns over, they have proposed a law limiting each home to 3 dogs or cats.
Back in January, a man was arrested, he had 15 pit bulls chained out in a wooded lot he owned. It was in the 20's, and so much snow that he hadn't been able to get out to them and feed them for 3 days. Most had NO shelter. The number was not illegal -- the circumstances, oh yeah. The dogs were all fine, able to recover. But this is what has prompted the new proposal.
In that city, the law currently does not count 'animals living outside.'
The new law would not apply to kennels, rescues, breeders w/ a breeder license, etc.
I think this is way too stringent, a case of the pendulum swinging back way too far.
