Mmm, mmm, mmm, the undocumented Pres_ _ent Baraq Hussein Obama,
Has much, much less documentation than any random South American llama.

ER’s must be overwhelmed with gerbilectomies.

[a fool in paradise]

Law would apply to sales of cats, dogs, hamsters, rats, birds

And gerbils?

[Buckeye McFrog]

too many Chinese restaurants in San Fran....

[equalitybeforethelaw]

But the cock fights will continue, right?

[DoughtyOne]

San Francisco... sad really.

[RoadTest]

The shelter and puppy mill parts are good - have some good intentions, anyway, but it sounds like a badly written law overall.

A reverse of abortion clinic policy.

Why not just require inspections of breeders’ operations?

[MaxMax]

Maybe they'll ban grocery stores from selling food next, so people
would be forced to use a Gov commissary.

Hey, just because the USSR Failed doesn't mean it wouldn't work here.

[moovova]

And, you had to ask why?

[MrB]

Perhaps these people should consider entering into a heterosexual marriage and having children instead of living together with their partner and getting a dog.

There are more dogs than kids in SF.

[JacksonCalhoun]

I’ve already been on the receiving end of sanctimony because I bought my dog at (gasp) a pet store. Fact of the matter is, we tried a shelter, but had a bad experience there dealing with surly dogs and surly workers.

[Mr Rogers]

Why doesn’t SF save time and list what is still legal in SF? Would it even fill a single sheet of paper?

Still, it is democracy in action. The people of SF, like Chicago, WANT to be helpless sheep cared for by their political masters.

No soda and no pets allowed but a stinking homosexual bathhouse welcomed on every corner. Bums given free taxpayer money to lounge around all over the streets and allowed to harass, urinate and defecate wherever they get the urge. Boy scouts, taboo. Gay marriage, bring it on. STD’s and HIV rates through the roof. San Francisco, you totally, absolutely, positively SUCK.

[cicero2k]

So silly. This all goes back to the pet purchaser. If he understands that to buy a puppy from a pet store is in effect condeming another animal in a shelter, they may think twice. But the average purchaser is fixed on getting the latest breed and could care less.

Enter big brother.

"San Francisco Considers Ban on Pet Sales"

WHHAAAAAAAA?!?!?!? WTF?!?
Nancy PROMISED me a place to LIVE!

Licorice: "Not fair. Some of my relatives
have anchor babies here."

Animal shelters say they are overrun with perfectly adoptable dogs, cats, hamsters and rabbits. The law would also crack down on puppy mills, which sometimes supply pet stores.

I'm not too keen on brick and mortar pet stores myself. Nor am I a fan of government regulators but these animals do need advocates with teeth.

I recently found a beautiful Siamese mix kitten up in a tree at my parents rural home.

About 10 weeks old, dehydrated, a little malnourished and full of fleas.

He was very affectionate, ate like a pig and knew how to use a litter box.

Unfortunately my parents couldn't take him in because of their health problems and they already have a big fat Manx kitty. I couldn't because my job requires extended travel.

It was a tough ride to the animal shelter after keeping him with me for only three days. I do hope he was adopted.

[Doomonyou]

Great, let’s put more companies out of business.

[mrs. a]

So are they just going to nod and wink at the deplorable conditions in the fish mills?

These fish are held in tanks in incredibly damp environments!

Does no one see the tears of the koi?
