The New York Senate recently passed a bill which prohibits the sale of certain animals in pet stores all across the state, effectively moving one step closer to shutting down the puppy mill pipeline for good.
As the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) reported, the Senate voted in favor of this bill on July 21, (on National No Pet Store Puppies Day, no less), thus banning such stores selling dogs, cats, and rabbits to their customers.
