Re: [Media-advisors] FW: ACC Smalls In The News

No, they are legal to sell though neither PETCO nor PetSmart do. I have to say I'm a little surprised that Wayne Pacelle of the HSUS does NOT support it. Thanks Wayne. The comments are running 50/50ish (I didn't count, could be 40/60). There's very little good information on birds being shared in the comments so if you inclined... e On Mon, Jul 26, 2010 at 6:09 PM, Scott Shipley wrote:

I thought dog and cat sales were already banned in SF.

Hi Everyone,

I'm sending along a link to today's Los Angeles Times. The Times ran a story about the proposed animal sales ban in SF - and the photos feature our own Penny!

Check it out - and just do a Google News search if you want to see the multitude of stories on the topic that have run across the country and around the world.

The Animal Welfare Commission will reconvene on August 12 for more discussion on the issue. Let me know if you have any opinions you would like shared - or if you are interested in attending.

Thank you for everything you do for the little guys!
