SB 234/HB 1299 will help promote animal welfare by prohibiting pet stores from selling dogs, cats and rabbits who are sourced from cruel puppy mills and commercial breeding operations.
Over 60% of Pennsylvania’s households have opened their hearts to dogs and/or cats per the American Veterinary Medical Association . It is estimated that PA pet store revenue will reach close to $900 million by 2024 . Pennsylvanians clearly love our companion animals! So why are our PA legislators stalling a bill that will help protect the very animals who we consider family members?
PA’s Victoria’s Law will help promote animal welfare by prohibiting pet stores from selling dogs, cats and rabbits who are sourced from cruel puppy mills and commercial breeding operations. Pennsylvanians are acutely aware of the inhumane conditions in puppy mills. Sadly, most dogs, cats and rabbits who are sold in PA pet stores come from breeding operations that blatantly disregard the health and well-being of the animals. Prohibiting the sale of dogs, cats, and rabbits sourced from puppy mills/commercial breeding operations in PA pet stores will decrease consumer demand without decreasing pet store revenue.
PA pet stores do not need to sell animals to be successful! This bill will encourage PA pet stores to transition to a humane sourcing model – adoption of shelter and rescue animals. It will also help protect consumers from purchasing sick animals from pet stores and protect consumers from predatory lending practices.
So why is PA State Representative Dan Moul , Agriculture and Rural Affairs Chair, stalling this strongly supported animal welfare bill? Please contact Rep. Moul and respectfully ask him to bring Victoria’s Law to a committee vote now.Note to readers: if you purchase something through one of our affiliate links we may earn a commission.
