More power to you.... but that is YOU. I have five dogs... does that mean because I have one more than you do that I don't care for my dogs? Of course it doesn't. But that is the mindset one gets into when you try to use the power of government to enforce NUMBERS. I could use a LARGE amount of bandwidth to list a whole lot of people (GSDCA members even) that have a lot more than four animals. And I am willing to bet the vast majority of those folks take excellent care of their animals. We CANNOT get into this 'numbers' mindset. It will only lead to our own destruction.
