The end goal of this bill and the reason for this measure is to drastically reduce the number of animals sold
through both shelters and retail pet stores purchased
through mass breeding operations or as the media along with the general public labelling them «puppy
mills» or «
kitten factories».
It is estimated that over 90 percent of pets sold in pet stores and
through online sales come from commercial, mass breeding operations known as
mills, including puppy,
kitten, bird and rabbit
mills.
Puppy
mills and
kitten mills are a concern because of the mass numbers of animals involved and the degree of cruelty that these animals are subjected to
through filthy living conditions, malnutrition, mass breeding and lack of veterinary care.
Other places where you shouldn't get a
kitten are
through newspaper ads, internet classifieds (which are often fronts for
kitten mills), and friends whose cat «accidentally» got pregnant.
