San Diego City Council Working With CAPS to Discuss Animal Protection Ordinance
CAPS is very proud to announce that after working with the Public Safety & Neighborhood Services Committee of the City of San Diego’s City Council since early last year, there will be a meeting on March 13 to discuss the drafting of an ordinance to Prohibit the Sale of Cats & Dogs in Pet Stores in the City of San Diego.
This is similar to legislation passed in 30 other cities across the country. CAPS has spearheaded three other similar ordinances in Southern California. Los Angeles was the latest, with 24 stores that will no longer be able to sell puppies from inhumane factory farms.
After our submission early last year of a two year investigation of San Diego Pet Stores, and their puppy mill suppliers, the committee has decided to move forward on this issue.
ALL ANIMAL ORGANIZATIONS DEVOTED TO PROTECTING ANIMALS, PLEASE ATTEND! THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT MEETING!
WHEN: Wednesday, March 13, 2013 at 2PM
Where: City Administration Building – Council Committee Room – 12th Floor
202 C Street
San Diego, CA
Please join this important effort!

Los Angeles Says “NO” to Missouri Puppy Mills

Summary:
The Los Angeles City Council voted NO to puppy mill cruelty. It did so by passing an ordinance prohibiting the sale of dogs in pet stores in the City of Los Angeles. The only exceptions are for dogs obtained from a municipal animal shelter, non-profit rescue, or humane organization. The ban also prohibits the sale of cats and rabbits in pet stores.
This is a commendable effort to halt the cruelty of puppy mills and it will have a direct impact here in Missouri. The City Council recognized that many pet stores in Los Angeles were nothing other than puppy mill outlet stores. The Council realized that if citizens of Los Angeles continued to purchase puppies that originated from Missouri, the cruelty of puppy mills would continue unabated. The Council acknowledged that the ultimate solution to puppy mill cruelty rests at the retail end of the business.
