I think that is wonderful and I wish all cities would follow in their foot steps!!
I was completely disgusted by the second page of the article though.
Here is a quote from the article...
"The fact of the matter is that puppies sold by pet stores frequently come from highly reputable breeders who provide healthy loving pets to the public," said Michael Maddox, vice president of government affairs and general counsel for the Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council, an industry group based in Washington, D.C. "Notwithstanding isolated anecdotal stories that misrepresent pet store puppies, the vast majority of customers who bring home their canine companion from a pet store are supremely satisfied with the experience."
It's absolutely disgusting!! No reputable breeder would sell to a pet store!! That's a bunch of bull if they think that most puppies from pet stores come from reputable breeders rather than puppy mills!!
And the the owner from Le Petit Puppy is just lying through her teeth. I've heard of many getting puppies from there and then finding out later, surprise they came from a puppy mill. People like that just make me so angry!!
Alright I'm done with my rant now.
It's a great thing that they are banning pet stores selling puppies. It's just that many are going to read the article and if they don't know better they will think it is all true including the second page which is full of lies.
