It goes without saying, but bears repeating, there are too many cats and dogs without homes. While there are countless shelters and rescue centers that exist, some potential pet owners look to pet shops to find their furry friends. All too often, however, these animals come from puppy and kitten mills(繁殖场)that treat the creatures in cruel ways. San Francisco, however, is doing its part to stop this abuse with pet store adoption. Officials recently voted to ban the sale of non-rescue dogs and cats in local shops.
The effect is twofold. First, it will stop the popularity of the large-scale mills, which are famous for the miserable conditions cats and dogs are kept in. Second, it will help facilitate the adoption of thousands of animals that are waiting for their forever homes in San Francisco shelters. district 4 Supervisor Katy Tang, who serves on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, supported law-making on the ban. “Dogs and cats sold in pet stores often come from inhumane puppy and kitten mills that treat animals with no regard for their health or well-being,” she wrote on Facebook. In her message, she also called on the U. S. Agriculture department to reinstate information on its website that documents these types of animal cruelty cases—it was removed earlier this month.
San Francisco's law-making is a victory for those concerned about animal rights, and it isn't the first city to pass this type of measure. Los Angeles, San Diego, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, and Austin also have similar laws in place, with hopefully more places to follow suit.
不用说,但需要重复的是,有太多的猫和狗没有家。虽然有无数的收容所和救援中心,但一些潜在的宠物主人会去宠物店寻找他们毛茸茸的朋友。然而,这些动物往往来自以残忍方式对待这些动物的小狗和小猫磨坊。然而,旧金山正在尽自己的一份力量,通过收养宠物店来阻止这种虐待行为。官员们最近投票禁止在当地商店出售非救援犬和猫。
其效果是双重的。首先,它将阻止大型饲料厂的普及,这些饲料厂以饲养猫和狗的悲惨条件而闻名。第二,它将帮助成千上万的动物被收养,这些动物正在旧金山的收容所等待它们永远的家。在旧金山监事会任职的第4区监事凯蒂·唐(Katy Tang)支持就这项禁令立法。她在Facebook上写道:“宠物店出售的狗和猫通常来自不人道的小狗和小猫工厂,这些工厂不顾动物的健康或福祉。”在她的信息中,她还呼吁美国农业部在其网站上恢复记录这类动物虐待案件的信息,这些信息在本月早些时候被删除了。
对于那些关心动物权利的人来说,旧金山的立法是一个胜利,它不是第一个通过这类措施的城市。洛杉矶、圣地亚哥、芝加哥、费城、波士顿和奥斯汀也有类似的法律,希望有更多的地方效仿。
