California has become the first state to ban the sale of animals from puppy mills.

Gov. Jerry Brown announced Friday that he has signed a law requiring pet stores to work with animal shelters or rescue operations if they want to sell dogs, cats or rabbits. It still allows private breeders to sell animals directly.

Thirty-six cities, including Los Angeles and San Francisco, already have similar bans on mass breeding operations.

Supporters said the state measure, AB485, ensures better treatment of animals.

The pet store industry said it removes important consumer protections.

Brown did not comment on his decision.


Good, fuck those places.

yes it is, though adopting from the shelter is better in general.
if don't mind a mixed breed (some of them look nice). they even have purebreeds.

Yeah. They leave the breeding dogs in small cages all day, don't groom them, don't wash them, etc.

Puppy mills are places that basically mass produce puppies for sale at minimum cost. Often they're kept in small cages permanently until sold and suffer from high rates of mortality and malnourishment. If shelters are four star hotels, then puppy mills are motels in a seedy town that's been convinced but is still operating for some reason where half the rooms have or have had corpses in them.

What's your stance on Dog Breeders. The ones that breed for sport and usually have like dogs that are often competing in sports and trials, hunting, search and rescue, etc.
