| Puppy Mill Progress Thrilled that the first city in Canada (Richmond B.C.) has voted to ban the sale of dogs in pet stores. This is a FIRST in Canada and I hope we'll see other municipalities in B.C. and the other Provinces follow suit. I hope that at some point in our history on this planet - puppy mills will be nonexistent and something that we look back on in much the same way we view past atrocities visited upon man. I truly believe that a society can be measured in how it treats it's most vulnerable members. Our children, our senior citizens, and our pets who place their love and trust in us.

| I just heard that San Francisco, CA is considering banning petstores from selling animals. I don't know if it's just dogs and cats, but other little animals too. I think it should be all of them.

| Yay!!! I sure hope that the U.S. takes a good look at our neighbors up north and follows this example of the right thing to do. Enough is enough already - Puppy mills must be shut down.
