Buying a cat or dog in the city of West Hollywood may become a thing of the past.
In an effort to cut down on puppy mills, the West Hollywood City Council is considering banning the sale of cats and dogs, according to WehoNews.com.
The proposed legislation “could be the beginning of the end of puppy mills and it’s happening in West Hollywood, one of the most progressive cities on animal welfare issues,” Ed Buck, Director of Social Compassion in Legislation, told WehoNews.
City Council member Jeffrey Prang made the first announcement Wednesday in a brief mention on the City Council agenda for Feb. 1.
