Proposed regulations for pet stores
 

"Science may have found a cure for most evils but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all ~ the apathy of human beings."   -Helen Keller

Please hold pet shops to, at least, the same high welfare standards required of municipal and non-profit animal shelters by supporting amendments to the proposed regulations such as requiring stronger standards of care in pet shops and meaningful penalties for animal welfare violations.

Many thanks for your empathy.
