A proposed ordinance to prohibit the sale of dogs and cats at retail pet stores is moving along at Lexington City Hall. It emerged from the Social Services and Public Safety Committee Tuesday.
The prohibition, if given final approval, would affect two of the 15 pet stores in Lexington. Todd Blevins, Kentucky director of the Humane Society of the U.S., said too often dogs and cats sold at pet stores come from large-scale commercial breeders; puppy and kitten mills.
