San Francisco, long known for its liberal politics, proposes and passes numerous “bans” and restrictive orders on its residents. The latest proposal from San Francisco’s Commission of Animal Control and Welfare is a ban on the sale of all pets (other than fish) throughout the city. Such a move is likely to cause great financial damage to local pet stores causing pet store business owners to shut down.
This proposed pet sale ban will only add to the list of bans San Francisco has already instituted. A simple google search with the phrase “San Francisco bans” calls up a plethora of news headlines over the years that have that phrase. The sampling of headlines below from the last ten years shows just how over-regulated that city is:
We were in Chinatown last month and visited a very cool pet store that had quite the variety of fish and birds. I guess they can close up shop.

Even cute little Nemo?
Somebody's trying to justify their 6 figure job for the past year.
“findings that aquarium fish are often mass bred under inhumane conditions.”
Ummm, isn’t the fact that they live in water going to make any condition “not human conditions” for a gold fish?
