This is a WONDERFUL step your city is making to stamp out the selling of puppy mill babies!! THIS is the kind of action that will curb breeding of puppy mills....if there is no place for these people to DUMP their ill bred, sick, unvaccinated babies to unsuspecting people that are clueless about what they are actually getting, the mills will eventually be forced out of business. To effectively get rid of unethical breeders and puppy mills, you MUST cut off their source of income. If it is illegal to sell puppies at flea markets, garage sales, street corners, shopping center parking lots, outside grocery stores, and on the side of the road out of the trunk of their car, they will have no place to dump their pups.....as soon as they start incurring any expenses, it is no longer advantageous to breed and sell puppies. This step your city is taking is sooooooo important! If there were laws that forced breeders to sell only VACCINATED puppies, talk about a choke hold on the problem!!!!! Add a law that requires breeders to have any puppy they sell, microchipped as well as at least 12 weeks old, they must provide a new owner with a vet's health certificate asserting the pup has been examined and vaccinated, wormed, microchipped and the puppy is healthy, and you are really going to see puppy mills fold and drop like flies!! Everyone out there in Mobile Alabama needs to show up and support the cause!!!!!
