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?
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
Jesus, how much money do you think I make? Put the tuna back, we're getting a guppy....
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.
Vous pouvez avoir jusqu’à 8 animaux, toutes espèces autorisées confondues. Les poissons ne comptent pas dans la limite de 8 animaux.
Sur ces 8 animaux, vous pouvez avoir jusqu’à 4 chats et chiens, dont un maximum de 3 chiens.
My god, that's so much less stupid!
"You can have up to 8 animals, all (something) authorized species. Fish do not count toward the 8 animal limit.
"Of those 8 animals, you can have up to 4 cats and dogs, with a maximum of 3 dogs."
Both the English and French versions are on https://montreal.ca/en/topics/pet-license
So it's a trick maths question that actually requires you to know French and have seen these rules in it, seems legit
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!
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.
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."
You must choose 4.
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
what if I trade one of the frogs for an alpaca?
Damn. Can't move there with my cassowary.
You have one cat. It gives birth to a litter of four. What do?
Believe it or not, jail.
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.
You have to get licenses for your pets? Wtf?
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.
You also get the first year free if you adopt an animal from a registered shelter
Breeders. At that point you’re probably considered one.
Probably an animal welfare thing
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.
What about 1 axolotl?
