The pet sale ban, which begins December 15, is aimed at stopping abusive breeders and large-scale breeding operations known as puppy mills.
Pet stores in New York State will no longer be allowed to sell dogs, cats and rabbits starting next month.
Pet advocates and officials, including NY Attorney General Letitia James, say that animals in these operations are often mistreated, which can lead to serious health issues. "Bringing a new pet into a family should be a time of excitement and joy, but often animals from 'puppy mills' suffer from serious medical issues and leave families heartbroken over their sick pet and with a heavy bill to pay," James said. "This pet sale ban will help put an end to the dangerous puppy mill to pet store pipeline that endangers pets and costs New Yorkers thousands of dollars in veterinary care.
