New York has banned all sales of dogs, cats and rabbits in retail stores in a bid to stop "abusive breeders".
Shoppers in the US city will no longer be allowed to look for a new pet through a shop window after Governor Kathy Hochul signed a bill into law on Thursday which bans the sale of pets.
She said it was designed to "end the puppy mill-to-pet store pipeline and stop abusive breeders."
