Comments about ‘S. Jordan upholds rule for now: 2 pets per species per house’

The fact is that even ONE dog can be a nuisance to the neighborhood in the control of a bad owner who lets it bark all night, or worse, run loose at night and make messes everywhere. A good owner can easily have several pets of various species and the neighbors would never know. So picking an arbitrary number for a limit is not the solution. All that really does is make life easier for animal control officers who need as many ordinances to fall back on as possible when dealing with animal abusers, neglecters, and hoarders.

I'd like to see no specific limits imposed, but rather strict rules about neglect, abuse, and nuisances. Existing health code ordinances combined with these other rules would cover hoarding situations.

I have to agree with UrbanForester. The number of animals has nothing to do with the nuisance factor which is really the problem. It is the responcibility of the owner and how they care for the animals that count.

I had a neighbor a few years ago that had one dog, that is all. But that dog was everywhere in the neighborhood making messes and digging holes. I now have a neighbor that has a sled dog team. Not sure how many and really don't care because they are well taken care of and present no problems to me or the other neighbors. The difference is in the responcable behavior of the owner not the number of animals.

Evets: that bad dog owner with one dog.

Were their children equally bad?
Was their property "a dump"?
Think about it.

Reasonable person.....
Think about what??

IF ONLY........... this ordanance included perPETuation of the human species. What is wrong with you people?
