Holy crap, California did something right?

In for the “California voted to secede from the Union”, but leaving alright about this puppy mill law.

Finally something truly good out of California.

FINALLY

Hurts the people who breed dogs and cats responsibly but stops the puppy mills. Is there another way that would keep the breeders honest without getting rid of the good ones?

 

[Mook]

Breeders don't typically sell to pet stores...

 

[Flyn]

I agree something needed to be done. Pet store animals have issues. Still, some of the people who supply the dogs and cats do it responsibly. Some don't.

Kind of sad they got to plastic straws before this.

Exactly. We bought my daughters dog from a lady who breeds shitpoos. I mean shih tzu poodle mix. She said its not huge litters, but she will do it a few times a year. Seemed like she cared for where they went as well.

I guess I dont get it? I mean I dont think I know anyone with a pet that got it from a place like Petsmart.

I should have added. We have always rescued our dogs from shelters and even the Greyhoud race tracks that used to be in Wisconsin.

We once picked a puppy through an adoption site. Picked up the puppy from a lady in West Chicago off of 59 and 38. Place was a shit hole. Absolutely disgusting. The dogs were covered in their own filth. So we were happy to get that puppy out of there. We took the puppy home. She ended up dying about 6 weeks later. We easily spent a few thousand trying to save her. We did report that adoption home where we picked up the dog. Nothing came of it though.

Soooooooo not all adoption places are created equal. There are some real shit holes. I've seen a few.


FYI. Florida just banned or is banning greyhoud racing. So there will be a huge amount of Greyhouds that will need homes. No time like the present.

So bigger & bigger government sticking it's nose into everyone's business.
So let's make some blanket law that attacks every one instead of actually going after people causing issues???

I got my cat from PetSmart, but it was from a local shelter. PetSmart hosts pets for adoption from shelters every weekend and you can adopt them right from the store. PetSmart doesn't sell animals as far as I know.

You really are an idiot...do you even know how the world works outside your hate-filled bubble ?

Hopefully this catches on in other states!

You won't find any reputable puppy mill no matter how hard you look. And as Mook mentioned small breeders (which I still don't agree with) do not sell to puppy stores.

This is great legislation, it shuts down the "market" that allows people to profit off of the misery of animals.

Those poor Amish are going to have to go back to churning butter, those poor worthless fucks!

God damn, go California!

Yes, my gf channeled hundreds of cats and dogs through petsmart!

 

[DanJ]

The only shitty places I know that sell pets like that are Pet Land and that Furry Babies store at the mall.

 

[DEEZUZ]

And every sick fuck on Facebook and Craigslist

 

[radioguy6]

Good to hear this. I can handle reputable, responsible breeders. But puppy mills make my blood absolutely boil. We adopted a 6 year old boxer that was a rescued mill mama. The rescue org estimated she birthed 10 litters. If she had 8 per litter that is 80 dogs. These poor mill dogs are just treated like livestock, there is no quality of life and they were fed some Amish "dog food" that costs $3 a pallet. She is the sweetest loving dog that got a 2nd chance

 

[DEEZUZ]

good man

 

[EmersonHart13]

My cats are barn finds... Not worth any money though which is sad...

Go Commiefornia!

Good for Calli, hope it does catch on in other states.
