How crazy are our COVID restrictions? A woman from Quebec tried a solution to the strict extinguishment imposed by the province, which, unfortunately, the police did not buy.
The unidentified woman was caught walking with her husband on Saturday night at around 9 pm. She claimed that since she had a leash around her husband’s neck, she was walking her dog, which is legal during nesting.
New York Post:
According to the rules, people can venture these hours to walk their dogs if they live about half a mile from their homes.
“One of them had the other on a leash and said he was taking his dog, showing his partner, for a walk, as allowed under the exceptions provided by the Quebec prime minister under his weather law.” , said police spokeswoman Isabelle Gendron. , according to the Telegraph.
The woman and her 40-year-old husband, who were not named, were fined $ 1,217 for the violation.
Michael Hollan of Fox News notes: “Apparently, men can be trained to use the toilet and don’t need to walk like dogs.”
Another woman from Quebec jokingly posted a photo of her dog and offered to let people “borrow” him for late night walks. She was surprised to receive serious and sincere answers to her “offer”.
MSN:
“People sent me kind of long messages about them, saying they would like to take the dog outside,” she said in a telephone interview.
While he found the messages “very sweet,” Skoblinski quickly made it clear that he was joking.
“It simply came to our notice then. . . . How would he go home after they left him? ” she said.
The idea is well taken. The woman seems to be one of the few people who thinks straight, as the long winter days turn into endless winter nights, and the fact that she can’t go anywhere people weigh.
That’s where a pet comes in. Animal shelters have reported a significant increase in the number of people who want to adopt because they work from home and find that they have more time to take care of an animal.
On Tuesday afternoon, at a dog park in Montreal’s Pointe-St-Charles neighborhood, several dog owners said they were relieved that the rules contained an exception for their pets.
Walking your dog at night without anyone around is “special,” said Simon Vadeboncoeur, as he watched his dog Norton fight another dog in the snow. “You go and you don’t see anyone and no sound, it’s very calm,” he said. But he said he would not go more often just to go out after the time was up.
Pavlina Aubin, there, with her one-year-old dog, Blaki, said she doesn’t feel as safe without others around her.
The woman fined for walking her husband on a leash said it would be a “pleasure” to receive the fine and “will not stop them from breaking the rules in the future and they will see how many tickets they could get”.
This is a way to deal with the insane restrictions of the pandemic. Embrace madness.
