The percentage that stores contribute is very relevant due to sole fact that this legislation targets them and them only. Are the unwanted dogs coming from sales from pet retail stores?

You make my point. Banning dog sales in pet stores is akin to shutting the intersection down.

All I will say is anything like the proposed is usually an extremist move. I do agree with what will it do? Why penalize responsible store owners? etc, etc, etc....

It is like our hobby, wait until they start on us... Lets all just try to be responsible humans. Yes I said HUMANS... Overall, we can be a very STUPID species. We have a long history to prove our stupidity, ignorance or whatever you wish to call it.

I myself bought my last dog from Petsmart, and would buy again from there!

Which is my point. It won't stop at dogs. "Solutions" like the one that is proposed are far too easy to implement yet don't really address the issues.

and your point is?

No point really. Just the results of the CTV poll.

I find it odd how regulating (read prohibit) a legally operating business from selling dogs, yet any person in the city can breed their animals and put adds in newspapers/online. There's something wrong with that.
