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.
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.
no mention of horses, pigs, spiders or other inverts, so are those banned or not? seems like someone in admin really hated pets
It’s like saying, if you can’t figure this out, you aren’t worth the one extra dog you have, please give it away.
dogs ≤ 3
cats + dogs ≤ 4
others + cats + dogs ≤ 8
others ∈ Allowed Species
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.
Lol this helped me understand the text, thanks.
Does an aquarium of fish count as one pet, or does every individual fish count?
You have one cat. It gives birth to a litter of four. What do?
When a dog, cat or rabbit gives birth, the puppy, kitten or kit may be kept without a license for a maximum of three months.
How are they going to enforce pet limits if you’re not required to register your pets? It’s an annual tax per pet. It’s also meant to encourage people to spay and neuter their pets. The money goes towards administering and enforcing the pet by-laws. It’s usually something like $10 per pet that cannot reproduce, $50 per pet that can.
Very inefficient. Surely there’s a market for a better option?
