Activists are already hailing a new Californian law as the wedge they need to get rid of pet ownership.

Under pressure from well funded activist groups, the Californian governor has passed a law banning all except shelter dogs/cats from pet shops, in spite of a well fought campaign by the USA pet industry association, who appeared powerless to fight these activists.

BUT shelters aren’t intending to supply!

Now that they have a monopoly on pet supply, many shelters have announced they will refuse to supply pet shops. There aren’t enough shelter pets to supply to USA pet shops even if they were going to supply – USA shelters are already importing dogs from Central American countries.

To make matters worse, the dog breeding scene in the USA is entirely unregulated, with no AAPDB or Dogs Vic/NSW etc to impose standards, no Codes of Practice for Breeding, and no inspection of breeding premises. Consumers will be left on their own. Shoddy breeders will prevail.

WHERE is the rationale that says that a person can buy deadly drugs, alcohol and tobacco from regulated retail outlets,  but not a family pet? WHERE are the welfare benefits from removing any form of positive enforced regulation on dog and cat breeding and sale?

There aren’t any. This is populist rhetoric dressed up in fake news about puppy farms. Watch those same activists strike at Australia.
