The Dallas City Council will consider an ordinance on Wednesday, May 11, to
prohibit pet stores from sourcing dogs from licensed breeders. This ordinance
will limit pet choice and consumer protections for Dallas area families seeking
a dog that fits their needs and lifestyle.
Retail pet sales bans/restrictions limit consumer protections and choice, while
doing nothing to actually help dogs. A better solution is to consider broad
consumer protection and cruelty laws that hold all accountable who sell or
transport dogs and continuing to allow pet stores to source from all humane
sources including from breeders.
Further, licensed breeders in and around Texas are already regulated by the
state and/or the USDA. Additionally, all breeders are required to follow all
state and federal animal welfare laws.
