END THE SALE OF PUPPY MILL DOGS IN FLORIDA'S PET STORES

We know that Florida has a great start by enacting ANIMALS: CRUELTY; SALES; ANIMAL ENTERPRISE PROTECTION Act 828.12 Cruelty to animals law.
However, Phoenix, AZ, Beverly Hills, and about 60 other cities across the U.S. have all passed laws making it illegal for pet stores to sell any cats or dogs that don't come from a shelter or rescue.

The ramifications of this are incredible! These cities have struck a huge blow against the puppy mill and animal trafficking trade. They have given stray dogs and cats a chance to have a real life and to find a forever family.

The New Jersey State Senate passed a bill in July requiring that new pet stores can only sell cats and dogs from shelters or rescues. If the bill is also passed by the State Assembly, New Jersey could become the first state to adopt this important measure.

Please sign this petition to urge Governor Baker and the Massachusetts General Court to follow the lead of New Jersey and these animal-loving cities. Tell them to institute a statewide law requiring that any cat or dog sold in a pet shop come from a shelter or rescue.

Just imagine how many animals we would be able to save if we had a requirement like this. And perhaps it would encourage other states to pass similar laws, or even pave the way for a federal law.
