That is exactly what the City of Louisville (KY) did. They just passed a law
limiting the number of outside dogs to 3 unless you have over a 1/2 acre yard
(rare). I really don't know what people are going to do because there was no
clause to grandfather larger dog families in.
If you have men who will
exclude any of God's creatures
from the shelter of compassion
and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise with their
fellow man.

Well, I think pet limit laws are archaic and silly and should be abolished.
But that's beside the point.
What if the city code were 6 dogs and 5 cats and tomorrow they changed
it to 3 dogs and 2 cats? I mean, you can't predict the future. What
if they move somewhere where the code is only 4 dogs?
How many of us have had animals
1. in excess of city codes
2. in excess of what was allowed by our landlord
3. in secret from our landlord
4...well, I think you get the point.
Fortunately we don't have animal limit laws here, though the shelter
limits me to 10 (personal and foster) animals at a time.
They only count litters as 1, though. So all my litters, including
the ones that are almost 2 years old, I count as 1. That's how I get
around it. Heh.
