The New York Senate has passed a bill that bans the sale of dogs, cats, and rabbits at pet stores. The bill will now move to the Assembly for a final vote on the decision. This bill is incredibly important and must pass the Assembly if we will ever see a crack down on puppy mills and breeding facilities.

Animals sold in pet stores can often come from horrific mills and breeding facilities where their living conditions leave much to be desired. Breeding facilities are atrocious and exploitative, manipulating animals for profits. For example, puppy mills house several female dogs that are repeatedly subjected to impregnation. This continues to wear them down until they are unable to give birth any longer at which point they have absolutely no value to these mills are are discarded to make room for younger breeding females. It's a horrendously vicious cycle that exploits dogs and supplies pet stores with dogs that are sold for profits. This is wholly immoral.

Every animal SOLD at a pet store is a nail in the coffin of an animal waiting to be adopted. Often times, the allure of pure bred pets pushes customers to purchase puppies from pet stores / breeders while animals that have been rescued and need loving homes sit in kennels at shelters. These people profit heavily off of the sale of these pure bred animals while more and more innocent animals find their way into shelters waiting to be adopted. 

We must all do our part to end puppy mills and breeding facilities once and for all. If we continue to support these awful industries, animals in shelters will die. If we continue to support these mills & breeding facilities, female animals will be repeatedly bred until they are done away with. We are supporting an industry that is ultimately killing innocent, loving animals because we desire a puppy or cat to look a certain way. Are we truly looking for a new family member or simply a trophy to parade around to friends and family? 

It's time to end puppy mills and profiting off of animals. Adoption is the only morally correct way to obtain a new pet / family member. I will update this story when information becomes available!
