Good thing — I started counting on my fingers when I heard about the proposal. Wouldn’t want to be forced to put a hamster or two out on the street.
Actually, the original provision in the proposed animal control ordinance would have limited the number of cats and dogs in a household to five. It didn’t mention hamsters. Our menagerie is safe. For now…
There’s a provision requiring people to clean up feces left on others’ property or the street, which seems perfectly appropriate, but there’s also one that requires them to clean up and properly dispose of the dog poo in their own yards. I’m not quite sure how they’ll enforce that one. Hey, at least they don’t tell us how often we have to clean the catbox.
