The human-animal bond has been evolving for the last 15,000 years and it’s quite enchanting, as we don’t speak the same language but share the same love in this relationship. Having a pet is honestly a beautiful experience, regardless of whichanimalbecomes part of your family.
Speaking of pets, Reddit userrraattbbooyyhad a pet turtle and one day they saw the rules of the HOA regarding a $50 pet registration fee at risk of having it removed or being fined $1000 for refusal to comply. It drew sharp criticism from folks online when the person posted it, and they suggested various nasty things to do about it!

The frustrated poster claimed they have a turtle that they now have to register for $50 and posted the Homeowners Association’s notice online
They even stated that only one pet is permitted in one unit and also declared the animals that are not allowed including reptiles (except for turtles), amphibians, insects/arachnids, and farm animals. On top of it all, theHOAmentioned that dangerous breeds are also restricted, including pit bulls, Chow Chows, Dalmatians, Presa Canario, Doberman Pinschers, and Rottweilers.

As of 2024,66%of U.S. households (86.9 million homes) own a pet, and looking at this statistic, many people in the poster’s HOA are bound to have pets. Many folks said that setting up a registration fee must be just a ridiculousmoney-making businessfor them.
Many suggested that the poster should look up the legal aspects and confirm if they can legally do this and get some more information about it. Someone also mockingly suggested that OP could claim that the turtle is an emotional support animal, as some HOAs cannot charge a fee for them, as it’s also quoted inTreasure Coast Newsabout Florida.
People online mostly expressed shock and anger as they felt it was outrageous for someone to dictate what you do on your own property that you bought with your own money. They joked that the HOA will next specify how many kids people can have before conceiving.
Folks also mocked the way in which the notice was worded and said that OP should release a plague of spiders into the HOA’s unit and then demand they pay a $1000 fine for hiding each arachnid. But jokes apart, it does sound like it’s a monetary tactic to simply show dominance and take control of people’s lives, doesn’t it?
