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!

The momentum we have generated is forcing the Los Angeles City Council to realize that we will not sit quietly while they gut our rights. These politicians think they can dictate how we live our lives but this surge of support proves they have a fight on their hands.

my dog came from a store and she is the best thing that ever happened to me. this is just going to drive people to craigslist breeders instead. so backwards.
Ridiculous. Stop wasting taxpayer money on this nonsense and focus on real problems in LA.
