Dallas city council members passed an ordinance banning pet stores from selling puppies and kittens. It's an effort to stop puppy mills but really only affects one store.
On Wednesday, Dallas City Council members passed the Dallas Humane Pet Store Ordinance, which was proposed as a way to stop puppy mills and prevent cruel breeding practices.
"Since January 2021, we have been working tirelessly to pass this ordinance to close the puppy mill pipeline to Dallas to stop hundreds of sick puppies from being shipped from out-of-state puppy mills," said Stacy Sutton Kerby with the Teas Humane Legislation Network.Both the SPCA of Texas and Operation Kindness have applauded the ordinance.
"This ordinance will support dozens of local humane pet stores in Dallas that do not sell puppies but rather adopt puppies who desperately need loving families," said Karen Froehlich, the president of the SPCA of Texas. "Our shelter alone has over 1,000 animals in our care today, and shelters across Texas are transporting thousands of adoptable dogs to other states due to overcapacity.
Other Texas cities including Fort Worth, Euless, Austin, Houston, San Antonio, El Paso and Waco already have similar bans.
