This \u2064measure is \u2063part of the Puppy Mill Pipeline Act, \u2064which aims to combat the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">puppy mill industry<\/a> known for\u2062 mass-breeding\u200b animals under cruel conditions. Signed into law by Governor Kathy\u200c Hochul in 2022, \u200bthe act gives retailers ample time to adjust to these new regulations. James\u200d stated that this ban will help eliminate the link between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-lawmakers-seek-to-increase-regulations-on-breeders-to-protect-puppies-from-abuse\/\" title=\"House lawmakers seek to increase regulations on breeders to protect puppies from abuse\">puppy mills<\/a> and pet stores, which often results in\u200c health problems for the animals sold. Pet stores can still\u2063 host adoption services in partnership with animal shelters or charge a fee for using their space for such events. This initiative seeks to encourage adoption from humane societies and licensed breeders instead.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">New York banning pet stores from selling dogs and cats starting in December<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1890861\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/new-york\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">New York<\/a> Attorney General <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/letitia-james\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Letitia James<\/a> reminded retailers <a href=\"https:\/\/ag.ny.gov\/press-release\/2024\/attorney-general-james-reminds-new-yorkers-selling-pets-retail-stores-will-be#:~:text=Retail%20pet%20stores%20that%20continue,animal%20rescues%2C%20or%20licensed%20breeders.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">on Friday<\/a> that pet stores will no longer be allowed to sell dogs, cats, or rabbits anymore starting on Dec. 15.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>The Puppy Mill Pipeline Act aims to undermine the puppy mill industry, where pets are mass-bred, mistreated, diseased, and then sold for cheap.
