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.

    It’s just badly translated. In French it clearly says maximum of 4 cats and dogs, of which a maximum of 3 dogs.

      Vous pouvez avoir jusqu’à 8 animaux, toutes espèces autorisées confondues. Les poissons ne comptent pas dans la limite de 8 animaux.

      Sur ces 8 animaux, vous pouvez avoir jusqu’à 4 chats et chiens, dont un maximum de 3 chiens.

      My god, that’s so much less stupid!

      "You can have up to 8 animals, all (something) authorized species. Fish do not count toward the 8 animal limit.

      “Of those 8 animals, you can have up to 4 cats and dogs, with a maximum of 3 dogs.”

      Both the English and French versions are on https://montreal.ca/en/topics/pet-license

      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.
