New York Makes Animal Sales In Pet Stores Illegal


New York pet store owners will not be allowed to sell animals like dogs, cats, and rabbits anymore in 2024; they’ll also be forbidden to sell more than 9 animals in a year— this is a new law signed by Gov. Kathy Hochul.

New York is not the only state to ban commercial breeding. Many other states already forbid this practice. The state of California was the first to do it in 2017. Just about a year later, Maryland followed. Several cities now also disallow the mass breeding of cats, dogs, and rabbits. For instance, the cities Boston and Philadelphia also declare the retail selling of the said animals illegal.

When states make animal sales in pet stores illegal, it’s a step toward tackling the root cause of the problem by discouraging puppy mill breeders.
