Animal-rights loons are quietly WINNING their wacko war on pet stores
When Mike Ricci wanted to buy his daughter a puppy, he discovered that in his state, “There were pet stores but none that sell puppies (or kittens).”
He discovered that eight states now ban retail sales of dogs, cats and rabbits. Animal activists want the bans extended to all states.
They say this is needed to save animals (and protect pet buyers) from abusive puppy mills — places that breed animals over and over, often resulting in inbred and unhealthy puppies.
“They say, ‘Don’t trust the pet stores!’ But am I supposed to be able to figure out from a website which breeder is great?”
Small pet stores “are the experts,” says Alyssa Miller-Hurley. She lobbies for them and says most don’t sell abused puppies. “Business owners know that you can’t survive if you’re providing a bad product.”
