Fears Of A Black Market After Calif. Bans Some Commercial Breeding
California is now the first state to ban pet stores from selling animals from commercial breeders, thanks to a new law signed by Gov. Jerry Brown in October. Animal advocates say it will reduce what they claim is the needless suffering of animals like puppies, kittens, and rabbits bred for sale. But critics say it will hurt pet store owners and force consumers to go underground. The law goes effect in January 2019.
Pet industry and commercial breeders oppose the measure, as does the American Kennel Club. They say the law will make it more difficult for Californians to obtain dogs with the characteristics and traits they want, including breeds that are recommended for health considerations. However, individual breeders would still be able to sell to customers.
California 'Puppy Mill' Ban Would Also Cover Kittens and Bunnies

Not at all.
They have a saying over in Russia.:
Cat.
Head off, Tail off.
Rabbit.

Gooks and other feral Asians eat puppies and kittens all the time.
But I am all for this law. My buddy breeds the finest American Bullies [google.com] and also offers their services as stud dogs.
Of course, those are Nigger-dogs, but I wouldn't say that to my buddy's face! He's also a Nigger.

There's nothing more American than a bulldog bred into a pot belly pig.
