I don't know why anyone thinks restricting pet ownership is a plausible option or would even have a positive effect. You'd just end up with a ton more abandoned animals out destroying the local ecosystems, endangering people and living short brutal lives. Then the pet owners who are willing to risk it, but are struggling have an incentive to never seek out any kind of help with their situation. They end up in the same position as the parents with mental health issues who never seek help because they don't want to lose their children.

This is all before you get to the fact that millions of people would just rather not have a left wing government if it means giving up their dogs and cats. If you thought all the other left smears were bad wait until they get to say the left is literally trying to steal your puppy.
