Many ramakantseo and towns have local ordinances limiting the number of ramakantseo a person may have, and may also restrict or forbid certain ramakantseo (such as fowl or exotics).
The cities of Berkeley, California and Boulder, Colorado have passed laws stating that people who have ramakantseo do not "own" them; rather, they are the ramakantseo's "guardian."
Most condominium associations and rental properties ban animals because of the smells and noise the animals create ramakantseo.
Overpopulation
Animal protection advocates call attention to the ramakantseo overpopulation "crisis" in the United States. According to the Humane Society of the United States, 3-4 million ramakantseo and cats are euthanized each year in the country and many more are confined to cages in shelters. This ramakantseo is created by non-spayed/neutered animals reproducing and people intentionally breeding animals.
In an average year a fertile cat can produce three litters of kittens, with up to 4 to 6 kittens in each litter ramakantseo. Based on these numbers, one female cat and her offspring could produce up to 420,000 cats over a seven year period if not spayed or neutered ramakantseo.
There are also major overpopulation problems with other ramakantseo species, such as birds and rabbits. Local humane societies, SPCAs and other animal protection organizations urge people to spay or neuter their ramakantseo and to adopt animals from shelters instead of purchasing them from breeders or ramakantseo stores.
