Yeah! Let's invite the government into my private life to tell me how many puppies I can own.

I get the intent; however, this proposed solution is an atrocity. The government is saying that not one human being is capable of properly caring for more than 3 dogs?

If you want more of this, vote romney, newt, santorum, and obama


If you're sick and tired of this and want your liberty, vote ron paul.

Paul is more than okay with these laws existing as long as they aren't Federal, so the entire country could have 3-pet-max laws and he wouldn't do shit as long as the laws were on the books at the county level.

4/3/2012 12:24:35 PM

not really "big" government, but retarded nontheless.

what's really disturbing is that ~50% of people in the poll agree with some sort of government enforced pet limit.

4/3/2012 12:25:58 PM

I wonder what proportion of the population in Fayettesville has stepped in dog shit recently

Right, thanks for putting words into people's mouths. You dont' know shit about Ron Paul, so I'd like you to refrain making comments until you do.

4/3/2012 12:27:42 PM

Right, I'm sure pet owner rights are at the top of Paul's list of "Things to not leave to the States"

4/3/2012 12:28:48 PM

Sure Ron Paul wants state governments to have the ability to make laws for what's best for the people of the state on issues that's not part of the federal government's responsibility. But Ron Paul runs on Freedom, privacy, personal liberties and the minimum possible amount of government intervention into your life.

I can't produce a word strong enough to say how much Ron Paul would be against this proposal. You're not even in the same realm saying Ron Paul supports this legislation. It's insulting that you suggest this since it's clear that you have not watched a single Ron Paul speech or listen to one thing Ron Paul has said.

Ron Paul has nothing to do with pet laws in Fayettesville, period. This is the most pointless plug for Paul you've made yet.

Maybe you didn't know this, but in Pennsylvania there's a law against sleeping on refridgerators outdoors. Better make a thread for that one too!

Guys, Hitler rounded up Jews in trains and shipped them to death camps.

Vote Ron Paul or you're next!

4/3/2012 12:39:04 PM

Rounding jews up and putting them on a train has never happened before.

4/3/2012 12:40:00 PM

this is why we can't have nice things

A bad thing happened somewhere, sometime.

Ron Paul.

4/3/2012 1:08:05 PM

Get this Ron Paul shit out of here. This is about stupid government telling law abiding people how many fucking pets they can own. What's next, how many yoohoos I can store in my fridge?

Pets are living creatures...Yoohoos are not.

Two or three is an arbitrary, ridiculous limit, though. It's not about the number--it's about whether or not they're being cared for properly.

4/3/2012 1:41:00 PM

Which this law does not address at all.

4/3/2012 1:43:19 PM

animals are property and if i want to buy a pack of dogs and shoot them all i should be able to because freedom

4/3/2012 1:43:45 PM

^^^,^^

this.

4/3/2012 1:44:38 PM

can we talk about property rights and animals.

animals are property.

why is there such a thinng as "anamal welfare"???

4/3/2012 1:47:59 PM

Yeah and what's the deal with beastiality laws

4/3/2012 2:02:56 PM

and what's the deal with airline food?

(government regulation, probably)

4/3/2012 2:14:23 PM

So what's the DEAL with politics? I don't get it. Am I right people?

4/3/2012 2:37:32 PM

This is a local and county government. You know what Ron Paul would say about this?

"The federal government has no right to this government they cannot do this."

But if local government is just as stupid as federal government then which one should we let have more power?

"Fayetteville and Cumberland County leaders are considering limiting the number of pets that people may have in their homes. What do you think? 13% Yes, it will help pets be taken care of. 7% Yes, too many pets can be a nuisance. 48% No, people should be able to own as many pets as they want. 28% There should be restrictions in apartments but not homes. 5% Other, I'll elaborate in the comments."

Why, just tell me why, do we have politicians drafting legislation that:
1. violates people's fundamental right to property and pursuit of happiness and
2. is not supported by popular opinion

""The federal government has no right to this government they cannot do this.""

This is a problem with the Ron Paul movement.
