en.wikipedia.org Recently, Utah's most populous county banned the sale of commercially bred dogs and cats in pet stores. A growing number of cities around the country have already done so in an effort to reduce the number of pets born in barbarous conditions.
Some of the USA's largest pet companies already have moved away from such production in favor of offering animals from shelters.
Salt Lake County joined a list of nearly 90 municipalities that have passed measures aimed at so-called puppy and kitten mills. And that number is growing, advocates say.
A spokeswoman for the Humane Society of Utah said, “There are great pets already that need a home. We don't need to make more.”
But pet stores say the rule, which also includes rabbits, unfairly targets local shops with a good track record on animal welfare. Source: ABC News.
To me, this action makes sense. Adopt a pet from an animal welfare pound. Even if you have a particular breed in mind, you are bound to find the animal that appeals to you amongst the poor abandoned creatures waiting behind bars.
I don't have a furry companion, more's the pity. My husband I love animals, but we are not in a position to care for one. We adopted our last dog from a greyhound kennel.
