Can the Pet stores still sell Fish?
If so, PETA will have a hissy fit their precious SeaKittens weren’t protected.
BTW, what is a Pet store called that doesn’t sell pets?
Closed?
There are more and more pet *supply* stores like Petsmart and Petco that do not see dogs and cats (altho they do sell fish, birds and reptiles). I think this is simply the first step in disallowing sales of dogs and cats, aimed at all breeders. Here in Palm Beach County, you must have a yearly license in order to breed a dog (even if you don’t breed a litter every year). You must also let them inspect your home. These laws have popped up all over the country. HSUS and PETA are trying to get people to think of pets as humans (calling owners *guardians* for instance). Of course their ultimate goal is no pets, but they are smart enough to know they can’t start out with that. They are contented with baby steps.
