Chicago May Become The Next City To Ban Puppy Mill Pet Sales
Oh I see, I'm not sure if it is good law.

It would be a great law. Then people will have to drive and pay for gas prices if they want to go outside Chicago to spend their hard earned money on vet visits for their unhealthy pet mill products. Serves them right!!!
There are dogs in shelters that are unhealthy too, my poor dog was very ill when I got him. The shelter paid for his vet bills that was over $600 . You have to be careful when getting a dog from a shelter. I knew Marty had a cough when I got him and I was willing to nurse him back to health. He still has a cough but I would never give him back .
We adopted 2 Labrador Retrievers that raised by family who live in rural area.
It's common for dogs to get sick a lot from puppy mill due to neglect and other issues. I think it's time for a change.
Back in 1994, I adopted a black kitten from animal shelter. The kitten was so sick that the shelter offered me the opportunity to exchange for a different cat. I turned them down. I picked this kitten in the first place. I was going to stick with him. He ended up living to be 16 years old.

Why do you think that you aren't sure if it is a good law? I thought it is a great idea as there are too many dogs/cats in the shelter so why churn out more puppies/kittens.
I'm saying that new law may not work due to black market.
black market? lol nope. nobody's gonna buy a puppy from black market. they can simply get one from out of state.

I means more like dark, tunneled or fraud. I don't have one word to best definition about what business is doing.
Given an example - the pet shop could order puppies from mill and falsify claim that they were from shelter or humane society, but puppies are actually known from puppy mill and pet shop could misled them as from shelter or humane society.
Only most trusted pet shops can tell you if puppies are from shelter, humane society or responsible breeder with paperwork.
That why I'm unsure about having a law will working, but it is better for state to pass the ban on puppy mills, or get federal to ban on puppy mills nationwide.
