I think these kinds of limits are just wrong. There are people with just one animal who don't take care of it properly...and I have had as many as 16 dogs (3 adults and a litter of 13 puppies) at a time and everything was fine.
Also, I think the size of the property should be taken into consideration. My present home city was proposing a limit of 4 dogs and the citizens made such an uproar that the whole concept was dropped. Why should I, who has 1/3 of an acre (surrounded by masonry walls), have the same limit as someone who lives in a one-bedroom condo, assuming we both take equally good care of our pets?
I think Animal Control should mind their own business...that business being picking up strays and responding to complaints from citizens, not snooping on private property, breaking and entering, and stealing people's pets and holding them for ransom!
