City of West Hollywood bans the sale of puppy/kitten mill animals in pet stores.

First step taken. Well done!

West Hollywood, California (February 3, 2010) - As expected, West Hollywood passed the ordinance prohibiting the sale of dogs and cats in pet stores.

Nobody, however, expected the ordinance to pass by acclamation without debate after endorsement by the head of the national Humane Society’s D.C office, the Mayor Pro Tem of Yucaipa (also the chief Veterinarian for Riverside County) and a South Tahoe resident who helped pass the first such ban in that city.

The new ordinance prohibits the sale of all dogs and cats at companion animal stores, providing exemptions for humanely bred, reared or sheltered animals. The law provides a period for stores to adjust to the new law.
