This happened on Monday, September 10. What do you guys think of this? Does anyone think that a city has the right to have zoning laws regarding pets? If someone is a homeowner, and if they are capable of taking care of all of the animals, don't they have the right to have as many pets as they wish?
FERRETS SEIZED
A Layton woman who said she was running a sanctuary for ferrets in her condominium had 224 of the animals seized last week by Davis County authorities. Animal control officers found cages stacked floor-to-ceiling in each room of Jean Morrison's residence. Officers took the ferrets to an undisclosed location where Morrison said she was helping care for them. Morrison was left with six ferrets, the maximum number of pets allowed per household in Layton. Morrison said she has had as many as 500 ferrets. What started as an effort by her to rescue or adopt ferrets in need turned into "more than one person could ever do," said DeAnne Hess, the county's animal-control director. No charges have been filed against Morrison, who said she had been operating a sanctuary for ferrets and reptiles at her condo since 1985. County and city officials were considering possible zoning or health-code citations.
