PROTECT YOUR RIGHT TO OWN A PET!
Did you know that it may be illegal to buy a Pet in L.A.?
The Los Angeles City Council is considering a ban on the sale of dogs, cats and rabbits i pet stores.
FACTS:
Limiting people’s right to get a pet only hurts animals as well as the pet-owning public.
Putting legitimate pet stores and kennels out of business opens the door to an underground market.
Research demonstrates that pet store puppies are on average at least as healthy as those from any other source.
The percentage of shelter animals that originate from pet stores is extremely low. Research clearly shows that the vast majority of shelter animals did NOT come from pet stores.
Most pet owners choosing a pet store animal are very happy with their pet.
Those who really care about the welfare of animals work to raise standards of care, and eliminate pet providers who don’t maintain acceptable standards. Banning the public from finding their pets at pet stores does nothing to advance this goal!
