This only made me remember the German Shepard I bought many years ago in pet store. She wasn't going to win any dog show for form, but she was amazing smart and dedicated.


quote:

Beginning in 2024, New Yorkers won’t have to worry about how much the doggy costs in the store window.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul signed Senate Bill S1130/Assembly Bill A4283 into law on Thursday. The legislation will prohibit retail pet stores from selling dogs, cats and rabbits.

The purpose behind the measure is to put a stop to so-called “puppy mill” breeders who use abusive tactics and supply animals to retail outlets. Proponents say animals bought at pet stores are often sick, and can cost their new owners significant amounts of money to properly treat their new family members.

I don't know how effective this will be in stopping puppy mills. I'm sure those who run them will just adjust how they sell their animals. You should always buy pets from a reputable breeder anyway.

Another stupid Democrat law.....

The law should go after the puppy mills, NOT the pet stores!

What happened to common sense?

At what point does our society have enough laws? Seems like they just pass laws for the sake of saying they did something, and then pat themselves on the back for saving the world from people.

I'm way more interested punishing/ monitoring the puppy mills, rather than where the pets are sold.
I guess the puppy mill lobby was able to deflect.

I'm sure the surrounding states will thank you for the increased income.

It may have some small effect by pushing those running the mills to move their mills just across state lines, but all it's really going to do is push that business underground.

"Hey, where did you get that puppy?"
"Scranton."

Not all that difficult. Also, there's a shitton of rural area in upstate NY where breeders can fly under the radar.

This is nothing more than "feel-good" legislation pushed by a weak Governor who has done nothing thus far but fail her state economically on an epic scale.

Dogs shouldn’t be sold in pet stores

Good. They shut down that trash pet store in the Siegen plaza that used to do it

My favorite puppy mill example is in Orlando not too far from the airport.

Right next to a Chinese restaurant there is a sign that says “Puppies for sale”.

It’s on Colonial Drive right across from Total Wine and More.

My oldest dog is 14 and from a pet store and likely puppy mil. Got him in Cali at an expensive pet store.

The Amish breed a lot and are a big part of this. However it’s not as bad as most think and is usually negatively talked about by activists who do nothing. My neighbor runs dogs for the Amish and I’ve talked to law enforcement about the ones in the area, they aren’t what ppl make them out to be. It’s really no different than at home breeders who do the same but probably have no clue what they’re doing only to make money.

But if you don’t like it, I’d start with the Amish

All this does is create a black market. Dumb.

So in about a hundred years, they've gone from a man standing on a street corner, wearing a trench coat, asking ,
Hey, Meeester, want to buy some feelthy pictures of nekkid womens?"

to the great grandson, wearing his great grandpa's trench coat,saying, "Hey, Mistah, want to buy a puppy?"

This will be soooo easy to circumvent.

As someone who breeds and sells exotic reptiles as a hobbyist, my solution would be to stop calling it a sale, and just call it an "ownership transfer" with an adjusted "adoption fee".
