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.

    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.
