Ban the sale of puppies and kittens in pet stores, markets and other retail outlets (not including adoptions through shelters,rescues)
The Issue
It is important that we ban the sale of puppies and kittens in pet stores, markets and retail outlets. The vast majority of these puppies come from puppy mills and are bred in mass purely for profit.
The conditions are deplorable , the breeding dogs being kept in cages their whole lives. They are underfed, matted, will have parasites and either Coccidia or Giardia. Most have both. The puppies are taken from the mother at 5 weeks, far too early, so that her milk will dry up earlier and she will go back into heat and be re-bred. We need to break this cycle and stop this cruelty.
