    A judge in Phoenix, Arizona recently upheld a 2013 ordinance stating all dogs and cats sold from local pet stores must be rescue animals.

    Lawmakers and animal lovers believe that the law will help to put an end to puppy mills. The ASPCA states that most dogs available in pet stores are from puppy mills.

    Why do you have to slam good news. There are multiple problems in this world... at least there's progress and you gotta crap on this... small steps.

    I'll just be nice and put it this way... Even if someone has a mortgage to pay, it doesn't mean they're not gonna buy their kid that new backpack they need for school.

    Politicians are idiots.
    They look the other way when aborted human babies are chopped up to sell the body parts...but get all business when it comes to selling puppies.

    Don't get me wrong, I love animals and hate to see them over bred or mistreated. I'm only pointing out the hypocrisy.

    "While this law won’t make a practical impact on the state of puppy mills in the Beverly Hills area, as there are currently no pet stores that sell dogs or cats in the city,
    the ordinance is a way for lawmakers to take a public stance against puppy mills and animal trafficking."


    yeah...OK :rolleyes:

    One can never have too many light bars.
    Dogs are a must have when off road. When you encounter a puddle or river and you don't know if you can forge it or not throw a tennis ball to the other side. If the dog is walking through it you can forge it and if they're swimming then you can't.

    Because a creature is less intelligent than humans, does that mean it suffers less?
