I support the recent ban on the sale of pets through retail establishments. City shelters and rescues are already flooded
with requests as inflation soars and recession looms. The pets can’t speak for themselves and therefore rely on our
voices for support and advocation.
If anyone feels inclined to support the sale of pets, through establishments like Petland, I beg you to speak with any
animal shelter, rescue, or vet leader about the pets that come from these sales and how they land in their care. I beg
you to find a way to visit the “vetted breeders” without notice and evaluate the conditions for yourself.
Pets deserve better. Pets are unselfishly there for us. Pets need us to create and maintain a safe place for them.
-Amy
