Another problem: people can still buy pets outside of San Francisco, so what happens when they bring the pet into town? Will they be stopped at the town line? Will they be forced to liberate the pet? Take it to a shelter? Euthanize it? Elect it to the City Council?
The latter.
Imagine applying for a job and you have to answer "yes" to a misdemeanor and explain that you crossed the town line to liberate a pet and that you belonged to the pet liberation squad. This is insane!!

What color is the pet? What is the pets sexual preference? Is the pet a registered voter? If so, what party?
