MSNBC:" Residents in Provo, Utah, can now officially own both cats and dogs. City Council members voted unanimously Tuesday to replace the word “or” with the word “and” in existing city code, which means residents can now own up to two cats and, two dogs at the same time. The problem was discovered when Susan Sewell and her family went to the Utah County Animal Shelter in Spanish Fork to adopt a kitten. The family already has a cat and a dog. They chose a kitten and began filling out the adoption paperwork. But when shelter staff learned of their existing pets, the family was told they couldn’t have the new animal because Provo only allowed residents to have cats or dogs, not cats and dogs. “I don’t think people will abuse the law just because it gets changed,” Sewell told the council. She said the family will be returning to the shelter to try again to adopt a kitten. “The kids will be begging us tonight, I’m sure,” she said after the council meeting." Excuse me?? I live in Idaho and I have been to Utah, and never did I hear this one before...I know in the town I live you can't have more then 2- dogs, unless you get a permit signed my the people who live around you, saying they don't mind...But A city ruling saying you can't have a dog & cat in the same house? Now I would be in real trouble at my house, because we have 2-cat's & 1-dog-(daughter's) 1-dog & 1-rat-(son's) and last but least, me. 11-goldfish (mine) What you got?
