After seeing so many signatures with 4-5+ cats on them, I'm curious as to what animal ownership laws are? I guess this is a predominantly American site? Does it change depending on where you live?
In Australia, or at least my state, you're allowed to keep two cats and/or dogs in a house, and one cat and/or dog in a multiple dwelling i.e. unit/flat/apartment.
If you want any more you need to apply for council approval, which costs $122 regardless of whether or not your application is approved.
It is illegal to keep rabbits here and in may parts of Australia.
Snakes & Reptiles require special licences as well, but I'm not really up on the laws around that.
It is illegal to keep exotic animals of any kind as a pet - I have looked that one up. Pretty much anything you can think of is illegal.
Most native animals can't be kept unless you are a registered/qualified animal welfare officer/carer AND have permits.
I'm want to hear about keeping animals where you live.
