I think it would be great if there were some compromise where people in rented flats were allowed pets, but ONLY if they were taken from shelters, and ONLY if they look after the pet properly.
Someone above me smuggled a dog in recently, and they were treating it very badly. One of my neighbours reported it, purely out of concern for the animal.
I guess the way the council see it, most of the people in this particular block (it's a bad neighbourhood) aren't fit to keep pets.
