Colorados Pet Store Ban Bill Passes Senate, Aiming to Curb Puppy Mill Demand
A bill in Colorado, HB ten eleven, has passed the Senate, seeking to ban pet stores from selling dogs and cats. The bill, if signed by Governor Jared Polis, could go into effect on January 1, 2028. The move aims to reduce demand for pets from commercial breeders, many of which are criticized for poor animal treatment. Supporters, including vets and lawmakers, argue that the ban will prevent families from unknowingly purchasing sick pets, while opponents worry it will lead to underground sales and harm legitimate businesses. The bill exempts rescues, shelters, direct breeders, and allows for rehoming pets up to three times a year. The House is set to vote on the amended bill soon.
