Puppies are shown for sale at Petland in North Dallas.The Dallas City Council passed an ordinance Wednesday banning the sale of dogs and cats at pet stores.
Five states and more than 400 localities have enacted similar measures, said John Goodwin of the Humane Society. Residents and animal-welfare organizations proposed the Humane Pet Store Ordinance in Dallas about five months ago. They also say it would protect customers from the emotional and financial toll of spending thousands of dollars on sick dogs that are sold at inflated prices, and would instead lead prospective pet owners to rescue groups, small-scale breeders and animal shelters that are often filled beyond capacity.
How about gerbils?
Petland's not happy.
Step in the right direction - so many animals at the pounds waiting to be adopted.
I got my dog from PetLand and she is absolutely perfect. Why don’t y’all fix our crappy schools and roads instead of impeding commerce DallasCityMgr
Good job Dallas for ending 30+ jobs and fun fact there are still puppy mills this didn't stop shit. Also the people who are happy about this probably have never stepped foot into a petland and just base their opinion off an artical without facts.
