Okay…so that’s a bad pun. But I’m pleased with a new California law that says that pet stores can only sell rescued animals now. The idea is to cut down on kitten factories and puppy mills that cause animal overpopulation and in-breeding leading to unhealthy animals that call to us from pet store windows.
The law doesn’t affect private breeders, except that they won’t be able to sell animals to pet stores.
It won’t affect pet stores’ bottom lines, either, because shelters are overflowing with strays, and people can give an unwanted litter to the stores.
It sounds like a great idea to me.
