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.
You must log in or register to comment.
dogs ≤ 3
cats + dogs ≤ 4
others + cats + dogs ≤ 8
others ∈ Allowed SpeciesNot sure if
cats + dogs ≤ 4I read It asnot dogs ≤ 4I guess that your ruleset comes from the mention of
including the maximum for cats and dogsand maybe those are the only ones that are calledpetsbut 🤔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.
So it’s a trick maths question that actually requires you to know French and have seen these rules in it, seems legit
I dunno, I hadn’t seen them, nor do I know french. The second “pets” covering cats and dogs was the only way I could see the statements didn’t contradict.
“and these are my pet cats over here, and my working cats over there”
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…
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)
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.
He pooped in my window well and it looked like he shat out 3 full mice, hopefully this doesn’t become a thing.
I get a lot of rabbits in my yard, and he’s been visiting for a while to hunt them without leaving poops like this.
(Edit: actually I think it’s a she, there’s a den about 200m from my house and she had two kits last year, if you went for a walk in the morning you would often see them chasing rabbits in and out of the tall grass)
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.
CockadoodledaWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
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.
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.
Does seem silly to say someone can have 3 dogs and 4 cats but can’t have 9 frogs/snakes/birds
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
Three frogs in cats are zero frogs as pets.
That makes sense.
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.

I just want to know who in their right mind would want to have 4 Rabbits, 3 dogs, and a cat all in one house
I have a friend with three kids. They had at one point 3 rabbits, 2 dogs and a cat. They don’t live on a farm, but they do have a large property (countryside).
When I was in college I had a classmate who was living with 5 roommates in a large house and had 8 cats amongst them. No idea if it was legal then or if the landlord even knew.
Ah, I was imagining affordable living conditions of 1-3 bedroom apartment
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
Get you stomping boot.
Very inefficient. Surely there’s a market for a better option?
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?
