"I want to find out what the public wants," Knecht said, "and have reasonable rules reflect reality."

Wow, what the public wants is to be left alone...

We have ONE dog and FIVE cats, so I guess that makes us BAD PEOPLE...

I'm in a similar position here: we have 4 dogs, 3 tarantulas, 2 birds and a cat, not to mention the pair of wild squirrels in the backyard.

I must be some kind of evildoer. I'm just glad I don't live in Provo.

Let me guess. Provo is a liberal bastion.

At one time I owned 26 dogs. Of course I also had the room (I lived out in the country) and the money to keep them penned up, fed and well. If they aren't disturbing the peace, are friendly, and not neglected, its NOBODY'S DAMN BUSINESS how many animals I have!

Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.

From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents' strife.

The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,
And the continuance of their parents' rage,
Which, but their children's end, nought could remove,
Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage;
The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.

They're afraid of...human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!

You subject your dog to FIVE cats? You truly are a bad, bad man.

That's a dumb law. What if one of your wives owns a dog and the other one owns a cat? How do they decide which wife has to give up her pet?

Our Kansas town had a similar 'law.' Very intrusive. I moved to a different town.

Towns should base their laws on public health, not a councilman's opinion.

We're a 4-dog, 1 (oppressed) cat household in a 3-dog limit town (shhh). There was a big controversy a few months ago about a family that had 5 poms and our city actually made them get rid of two - devastated their kids. I remember thinking at the time that all five of their little mutts wouldn't weigh even half of one of my big droolers.
