“Currently, there are 13 pet stores in the city of Las Vegas alone, which is more than 37 other states,” Goff mentioned. “And all of those pet stores source their puppies from puppy mills, mostly based out of the Midwest.”
The push for extra rules follows the loss of life of “Cindy Lou,” a canine that Goff mentioned died as a result of poor situations.
“They told the store that she needed immediate medical attention, but it was it was too late,” she mentioned. “By the time she arrived to the vet, there was nothing they could do to help her, and that was right before the 2025 legislative session began.”
The proposed state invoice to ban the sale of pet puppies and kittens didn’t cross, however Goff mentioned the trouble has now transitioned to give attention to municipalities.
Throughout a Thursday press convention, Las Vegas Mayor Shelley Berkley voiced assist for the ordinance going for a vote in November.
“First of all, no new licenses issued, but there will be a ban in three years,” Berkley mentioned. “So we’re giving the pet shops three years to figure out how they can stay open without selling dogs and cats.”
The ordinance is anticipated to be mentioned by the Las Vegas Metropolis Council in November, in accordance with Goff.
