How crazy do the COVID restrictions drive us? A Quebec woman tried to find a solution to the strict curfew imposed by the province that the police unfortunately did not buy.
The unidentified woman was caught walking her husband around 9 p.m. on Saturday evening. She claimed that since she had a leash around her husband’s neck, she would walk her dog, which is legal during curfew.
New York Post:
The rules state that people are allowed to walk their dogs during those hours if they stay within about half a mile of their home.
One of them had the other on a leash and she said she was taking her dog, pointing to her partner, on a walk, as permitted under the exceptions allowed by the Prime Minister of Quebec under the curfew 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.
Fox News’ Michael Hollan notes, “Apparently men can be trained to use a toilet and don’t have to walk the same way as dogs.”
Another Quebec woman jokingly posted a photo of her dog and offered to let people ‘borrow’ him for nighttime walks. She was surprised to receive serious and sincere answers to her “offer.”
MSN:
“People were sending me quite lengthy messages about themselves saying that they would like to take the dog out,” she said in a telephone interview.
Although she found the messages “ really sweet, ” Skoblinski quickly made it clear that she was joking.
‘Even if we wanted to, it makes no sense. . . . How would they go home after dropping him off? ” she said.
The point was taken well. The woman seems to be one of the few people who think clearly, as the long winter days turn into endless winter nights, and the fact that they have nowhere to go weighs on people.
That’s where a pet comes into play. Animal shelters have reported a large increase in people wanting to adopt because they work from home and find that they have more time to care for an animal.
On Tuesday afternoon, several dog owners at a dog park in the Pointe-St-Charles neighborhood of Montreal said they were relieved that the rules included an exception for their pets.
Walking his dog at night with no one around is “special,” said Simon Vadeboncoeur, watching his dog Norton wrestle with another dog in the snow. “You walk and you don’t see anyone and no sound, it’s very calm,” he said. But he said he wouldn’t walk more often to go out after curfew.
Pavlina Aubin, there with her one-year-old dog Blaki, said she didn’t feel that safe without other people around.
The woman who was fined for calling her husband said it would be “a pleasure” to receive the fine and “it would not stop them from breaking the rules in the future and that they would see how many tickets they could get. “
That’s one way of dealing with the crazy pandemic restrictions. Embrace the madness.
