  1. We should care about these animals and stop looking at them as “products”. Anti-commerce and anti-consumer sounds like they are only products to the stores. Our shelters are overrun and usually at capacity with many discarded pets from stores after their owners no longer want them. It’s time to start treating these loyal companions better and stop treating them as commodities to be bought and sold.

  2. Nice over-reach….Our city is turning into a heap under ol’ Joe, but we worry about dogs being sold retail. We have several dogs that came from Uncle Bill’s that are AKC certified and came from reputable breeders. It was our “Choice” to purchase them, and are happy that we did. We don’t speak of all the people that dump their dogs at the humane society, but go after private enterprise. Yeah….that is the solution. Reminds me of the NYC, no large sodas…the citizens are too irresponsible to handle it.

    1. WK, you clearly have not seen any undercover videos that show where animals that are sold in pet stores come from. It’s not usually good. All the breeders and the pet stores care about is making money at the expense of the welfare of the animals.

  3. This is a step in the right direction, excellent! One curiosity: I’m guessing, if a bad actor/retailer is committing fraud, presenting forged or falsified documentation, turning an illegal profit from a misfortune animal; State/Federal “criminal” laws would be enforced, thereby adding to that very tiny $250 loss. I’m deducting the $500 profit from the sale and the $750 fine. Should be a $250 loss each time caught. Unless, prosecuted under criminal law. Am I right?

  4. Crime is out of hand. Murder rate is higher than Chicago. Downtown is foundering. Glad to see the council and Mayor’s office are focused on everything but the things that are important.

    1. Your opinion. Many others, myself included, feel this is important legislation. Doesn’t mean the Council can’t get other tasks accomplished…

    2. I suppose you don’t mind the General Assembly wasting their time on bills to declare the totality unhealthy fried tenderloin the state sandwich, telling women what to do with their bodies, telling parents how to raise their kids and discriminating against entire segments of society.
