You are absolutely right it doesn't make sense! That's why it is (would have been) a bad law.

It doesn't matter whether or not they would have been able to enforce it effectively, and it seems pretty obvious to me that they really weren't aiming it at people with a fish tank or two. That doesn't change the fact that if the law had been passed as written, people who did own 50 or more animals of any kind would have become criminals. Not convicted criminals. But breaking the law makes you a criminal, whether or not you get caught, whether or not the law makes sense. That is what was so extremely bad about the law as it was proposed.
