I have heard many conflicting stories about Illinois banning pets stores from selling puppies. If true, is this law just for Illinois or are there othere states? Or is it state by state? Is there any truth to this or is it another conspiracy story from FAKE NEWS. Thank you in advance.
Animal rights activists have long boycotted pet shops from selling puppies. Dogs were caged up in small two feet by two feet kennels 24/7 until they were sold. Illinois has implemented a law prohibiting the sale of dogs and cats in pet stores. This measure aims to combat puppy mills and promote the adoption of pets from animal shelters and rescue organizations. It’s part of a growing trend among states and localities to address animal welfare concerns and reduce the demand for commercially bred pets. Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker signed a bill into law that bans the sale of puppies and kittens in pet stores, with the aim of reducing the demand for animals from large commercial breeding operations, often referred to as puppy mills. The law encourages adoption from animal shelters and rescue organizations instead. It’s part of a broader effort to improve animal welfare standards and reduce the suffering of animals bred in inhumane conditions.
