Mauritian Law : No more than 2 dogs!
Posted on March 29th, 2008 by YashvinHello everyone…
I was astonished by wat i read this morning in the Le Defi Plus newspaper…

Oh, no, not exactly by this title, but rather, one sentence from that particular article, as shown below…

According to an inspector of the MSPCA, an owner can have only 2 dogs, else, he is considered as a dog breeder, thus has to possess a permit issued by that organisation.
Well, now look in your neighborhood…
How many of you have more than 2 dogs? do you have a dog breeder permit? lol!
Take a minute to think about that more deeper, if an owner can have only 2 dogs, then, if there are 5 persons in that family, living under 1 roof, that makes 5×2=10dogs, it that right?

btw, this is Pam, our 2nd dog at home…
Wait wait wait, another thing…
Is there any law for other animals? Birds? Cats?
Thats so stupid!
Its high time that those laws are revised, as well as all of the institutions, which are completely outdated with their laws and principles established centuries ago… just like those famous “100ml of rainfall” which caused the death of ppl among our population.
btw, yesterday i bought an ipod shuffle 1GB… nice thing and so SMALL!

guess what!! My neighbour suffered the same fate. NeighbourB complained abt neighbourA’s dogs to the police of environment. His dogs barked a lot at night n prevented him from sleeping. The police came next morning and said the same stuff as mentioned in yr blog. Coincidentally of the 3 dogs he bred, there was one female, and none were MSPCA registered. After having enquired at the MSPCA, neighbourA registered his dogs and bought a collar for each of them. An officer at the MSPCA told him de nepli pran tracas ec casse la tete ni ar voisin ni ar police environment.

Hello Yashvin,
Nearly every country have “No of dogs restrictions” laws.. Usually the law allows 2 or 3 dogs max if you don’t have a breeder’s licence..
A quick search on Google(tm) will reveal that.. The following paragraphs are just a illustration why such laws USUALLY exists..
“The goal of this law (USUALLY) is to cut down on the problems that dogs cause in urban areas.”
Courts upholding such an ordinance usually put it this way, “too many dogs in too small a space may produce noise, odor and other conditions adverse to the best interests of the community as a whole”
“Court challenges to such ordinances almost always fail, but there are exceptions”
(http://doglaw.hugpug.com/doglaw_008.html)
Although you and some (good) people take much care of their dogs, give them love, feed them, keep them in a suitably living space, there are many cases in mauritius where people have 2+ dogs that they don’t even care about and leave them to (1) bark out loud (bol) (2) wander around dangerously … (this may cause human life or animal life loss) These dogs are not given any love or attention…
Thus “No of dogs per person” laws TRY to limit that from happening..
However (again) a quick search on google will reveal that “no of dogs per person” are usually not very much enforced because if you keep your (2+) dogs from causing nuissance such as barking out loud (bol) all night long or causing pollution (smell etc..) around… your neighbours usually tolerate them…
There are actually different variants of this law for other types of animal (cats, tortoise, etc…).. but in general… SPA (or MSPCA in mauritius) intervene only where animals cause nuissance to other humans..
An article on wikipedia also says that some “no of dogs per person” laws try also to limit the (possible) spread of diseases (Rabies for example)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Dog_policy
I personally believe that we should be tolerant towards each other… we should prevent our pets from causing nuissance to our fellow humans. On the other hand we should leave our fellow neighbours live freely and happily with his/her
number of animals so long they are well treated, well taken care of and causes no trouble around..
PS: Courts usually interprete “no of animals per person” as “no of animals per family)
That was my 50 cents..
Peace out ppl
