It's not "hate" to think you should have been following the laws in the first place!
How many people rush out and buy a pet then come here going 'Gee, what kind of housing should I build?" You are NO DIFFERENT than all those who didn't plan for their pet, only your pets are at risk from officials, not from indifferent housing.
No one here has said you don't love your pets, no one said you do not take top notch care of your pets. But you knew you needed the permit, but you got the animals first, THEN you start trying to get the permit and that doesn't show you as a responsible person to the permit issuers.
"Everyone else is doing it!" is not a valid excuse. Yes, the rule is stupid. But it exists and you are breaking it and you got busted. Telling a cop who stops you doing 20 miles over the speed limit that everyone else is speeding or changing lanes without signaling does not in any way mean that you yourself were not also breaking the law.
I wish you luck, both in getting the permit and in changing the local laws(if that's what you decide to try to do). I just wish you'd gone about it in a more responsible manner to begin with.
