According to National Public Radio, the selling of cats and dogs has been banned by Toronto’s City Council unless they come from the Humane Society, shelters or rescue groups.
More than 500 dogs were seized from a Quebec puppy mill — the largest case of animal cruelty in the history of Quebec.
A representative of the Humane Society, where the dogs are now located, said “the operation involved some of the worst conditions she’d ever seen,” writes Dan Karpenchuk.

This should be everywhere! Does this mean breeders can no longer sell pedigrees?
Breeders weren’t mentioned — only pet stores and mills.
