New York state will bar pet retailers from selling dogs, cats, and rabbits by December 2024 under a new law signed by Governor Kathy Hochul, which seeks to stop animal supply from so-called puppy mills.
According to Hochul, the ban will help protect animal welfare and clamp down on abusive, wholesale breeders.
California, Illinois, Maine, Maryland and Washington have instituted similar bans on such sales.
The law lets pet stores work with animal shelters to encourage adoptions, including rental space.
She emphasized that dogs, cats, and rabbits across New York deserve loving homes and humane treatment.
