City to bite down on amount of pets per household
tammy petersen

ANIMAL protection organisations have questioned the feasibility of the proposed pet bylaw open to public comment which aims to control the amount of pets allowed on a property.
The bylaw, which will make it compulsory for dogs and cats to be sterilised, be fitted with tags and walkers to carry litter bags with them at all times, is open to public participation until October.
JP Smith, chairperson of the City of Cape Town’s safety and security portfolio committee, says two pets is the proposed limit of animals per household.
“However, other aspects such as the size of the erf as well as a lack of complaints from neighbours can have a specific family’s amount increased if they write a formal application to the city.”
He says the proposed bylaw, which is a combination of 10 existing bylaws aimed at animal control, will see law enforcement officers “reactively” carrying out inspections when pets cause problems in an area.
