Readers: Ban Pet Stores From Selling Puppy Mill Dogs
Readers that voted in the unscientific poll last week made it clear they’d support a ban on puppy mill dogs:
Q: Would you support a municipal/county ban on pet stores selling dogs from puppy mills?
- Yes 61 [78.21%]
- No 9 [11.54%]
- Unsure/no opinion 6 [7.69%]
- Possibly 2 [2.56%]
Such bans aren’t new:
Thirty-one cities have passed ordinances that ban pet stores from selling animals that come from commercial breeders. They are only allowed to offer rescued animals from shelters. (KMOV)
Maybe an alderman will introduce bill to ban pets stores in St. Louis from selling puppy mill dogs.
