I am attempting to come up with a solution where all sides are satisfied. Would it be possible to have one of the new villages be pet-free? You would know going in that you couldn't have a pet and that none of your neighbors could have one.
This would seem to satisfy all parties. If you loved pets, you would probably have more neighbors with pets in those villages that allowed pets. If you didn't love pets, you would live in a village where pets are not allowed - people from an adjacent village could not walk their dogs in the pet-free villages.
And if you are neutral on pets, you could decide if you wanted to live in a village that allowed pets or you could decide if you wanted to live in a pet-free village. This would seem to be a win-win-win. You could live where you wanted and everyone should be satisfied.
But would it work?

I know you mean well in your attempt to solve this issue, but we do not do anything here as a result of a popular or unpopular vote.
And I further offer that as soon as someone would move into a non pet village, a little stray kitten would come meowing at their door. Or their child had to move to London for graduate school and couldn't take her pup.
I love almost all animals. Not fond of alligators and snakes. We have two kittys. We had three for several years and got away with it. (They always stayed inside.)
