Ban Pet Sales in the Remaining 49 States
California has banned the sale of dogs, cats, and rabbits at pet stores unless they come from animal shelters or rescue groups. It's time for the rest of the states to fall in line, and adopt this common sense practice.
Why is this important?
Banning retail pet sales will save the lives of countless animals.
Adopting a rescued animal saves a life. When you purchase an animal, you support the pet breeding industry, which includes puppy mills, cat breeding operations, and industrial rabbit farms.
Every year countless animals are purchased on a whim, and end up at municipal shelters and rescues. These situations are preventable, simply by assuring that an adoption process is in place, and animals that are available are rescued, not bred.
