Brickbat: How Much Is That Doggie In the Window?

New York has banned the retail sale of dogs, cats, and rabbits. Gov. Kathy Hochul said the move is aimed at cracking down on abusive breeders. In a statement, she said that many animals sold by such breeders have health problems that could cost their new owners thousands of dollars to have treated.

Who makes the most anti liberty laws, New York or California? Enter your vote here [______________].

Texas or Florida? Don't say gay, etc.! (I suspect that Florida wins. Thanks, Ron DeSatan!)

Seattle?

Tough call. And you wouldn't want to ignore Massachusetts.

Just as the Founders intended.

The Founders placed limits on the federal government; they intended for states to be able to have state religion, restrict free speech, and generally run themselves the way they wanted without federal interference.

That only changed in the 20th century with the application of the incorporation doctrine based on the 14th Amendment.

Psst, hey kid, wanna buy a labradoodle?

Was recently at a pet shop that was selling puppies. I asked the clerk how much.
She told me, “They are $175 a piece.”
I replied, “How much for a whole one?”

[Don't look at me!]

Will they have to rename crooked fairways?

I went to a psychic and she said that in 13 or 14 yrs. I would suffer a heartbreaking tragedy. To cheer myself up, I bought a puppy.

[Nazi-Chipping Warlock]

Ouch.

People wanting a dog could use the D.C. method. Pull a gun on someone walking their dog, and take it.

fuck, I gotta goto New Jersey for PetSmart?

"could cost their new owners thousands of dollars to have treated."

The same could be said for having children but she isn’t advocating that people kill unborn babies all willy nill… oh wait.

Human traffickers exist, so New York will ban the sale of airline, bus and train tickets. Brilliant!

Or they could address the actual problem they care about.

[Don't look at me!]

What about fish?
Will nobody think about the fish?

But then people are getting worse animals: somebody else's problem, one that's already struck out as a pet, instead of one specifically bred to be a good one and with papers. I'm not saying rescue animals are all bad, but surely your odds of a good one are longer that way.

[NOYB2]

They banned retail sales, not sales from commercial breeders.

[Sevo]

I would guess lefty shits find social engineering to be just fine, right lefty shit?

[Roberta]

Who sell them wholesale? Or is there some other distinction?

[defaultdotxbe]

It looks like breeders are still able to sell up to 9 per year, but pet stores (or anyone else who would be buying wholesale from breeders) are no longer allowed to sell.

Looks like quality over quantity is part of the idea

[NOYB2]

The distinction isn't "retail/wholesale" but whether you have a storefront and walk-in customers.

I'm not defending the law, I'm simply stating what it is.

[Roberta]

But dogs and cats give birth in litters. 2 litters could easily be more than 9 puppies or kittens. If the idea is quality over quantity sold, that looks like large numbers of animals from each litter killed.
