Pet Allowance

sad sad mommy @noahsarca

i love the quebec pet allowances they are so silly it’s like a riddle

Number of pets allowed

Usual limits

A total of 8 pets are allowed (among the allowed species), including the maximum permissible for dogs and cats.

Up to 4 pets are allowed, including a maximum of 3 dogs.

Examples:

You can have 4 rabbits, 3 dogs and 1 cat.
You can’t have 4 frogs and 4 dogs.

dogs ≤ 3
cats + dogs ≤ 4
others + cats + dogs ≤ 8
others ∈ Allowed Species

Lol this helped me understand the text, thanks.
Does an aquarium of fish count as one pet, or does every individual fish count?

It depends on whether you have MERGED the fish

Also, fish do not count towards this limit.

Two cats, a dog, and sixteen full grown swordfish

Bluefin tunas will do nicely, too, they grow up to more than half a ton

Not sure if cats + dogs ≤ 4 I read It as not dogs ≤ 4

I guess that your ruleset comes from the mention of including the maximum for cats and dogs and maybe those are the only ones that are called pets but 🤔

Yeah, I’m very confused by the “8 pets are allowed” and “4 pets are allowed”, it reads to me like “You can have 8 pets as long as you have at most 4 pets” which obviously makes no sense.

It’s just badly translated. In French it clearly says maximum of 4 cats and dogs, of which a maximum of 3 dogs.

“and these are my pet cats over here, and my working cats over there”

This gives me integer linear programming flashbacks…

That’s a good thing! right?

…right?

So I can have 12 cats if I have -8 dogs?

It’s quite heavily implied the above is only defined in ℕ

In Germany my colleague has to send a photo of his turtle every year to some gov/municipal agency, to track it’s growth and prove that is not an exotic/illegall type (which could only be seen when they get bigger)

Where can I apply to be a pet pictures officer?

Is this a WFH type job? If so, I’m fuckin in!

3 huskies, 4 wolves and a rooster… wake up bitches… awooooohhhooooo…

I’ve cross-bred eight different dogs with various species of fox, so they all count independently.

Also, jesus christ the smell.

A fox pooped in my yard the other day and fuck that I don’t want him back.

Foxes are “prominent poopers” and I have several areas in my (rural) yard where foxes proudly display their turds. Atop an 8x8 fence post, a raised cement culvert opening, a mound of loam I never got around to landscaping with. They are replaced every few days, I find myself noticing the seasonal diets of the local foxes. It’s lizards, small rodents and fruit for the most part. Very occasionally birds.

Is that possible? I’ve heard of coydogs, coywolves, and wolf/dog hybrids, but haven’t heard of fox hybrids…

Is that possible?

No idea. I was just in it for a joke. I know folks who have foxes as pets, though, and they really produce a pungent effect.

Trade one of the wolves for a bloodhound and you can get some real harmony going.

But then you’d have 4 dogs, 3 wolves and a rooster, and that’s against the rules.

What you need is 2 huskies, a bloodhound, 2 wolves, a kakapo, a howler monkey, and a rooster. For best results, duct tape your kakapo to your monkey.

CockadoodledaWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Aren’t wolves still dogs?

Same genus, different species.

Makes sense to limit how many you can have, so you can’t have ridiculous number of cats or dogs in a small space. But it gets complicated with smaller animals and since they all have different space requirements.

You may have up to seventy kilograms of dependent biomass under your care.

… So my neighbor’s Akita is too big to legally own.

Edit: actually it’s just barely within it, but some mastiffs can absolutely weigh more than that.

Does seem silly to say someone can have 3 dogs and 4 cats but can’t have 9 frogs/snakes/birds

“I have an ant farm with like 986 ants.”

What about 5 frogs 2 dogs and a cat?

Not allowed. You can have a maximum of 4 items of given pet type, 3 for dogs. You will have to give one frog away.

What’s the value of 3 frogs in cats?

Pretty low, as the frogs are most likely dead at that point

African or a European frogs?

no mention of horses, pigs, spiders or other inverts, so are those banned or not? seems like someone in admin really hated pets

They don’t want farm animals in residential area, and I’m pretty good with no Arachnids list. And of course Goose is twice on the banned list to make it clear.

We have legislation that dictates what is considered an animal:

“animal” means a live, non-human vertebrate

But do we know why she swallowed a spider?

what if I trade one of the frogs for an alpaca?

Damn. Can’t move there with my cassowary.
