I also wonder about the enforcement officer, who seems to be expanding his interpretation of the regulations so far as to interpret one goat as a "hobby farm"!
In Texas (not Canada, I know!), having one animal is specifically *excluded* from the tax exemption necessary so as to be reckoned as a hobby or commercial farm. See:
