bigdeal, I was just countering the statement that retail sales of pets would end--I wasn't suggesting that it was a solution or that it would make much of a difference. I expect Californians desiring a special or pedigreed pet will simply drive to Oregon, Nevada, or Arizona and get one there--AFAIK importation has not been outlawed.
FWIW, all of my 6 indoor cats were born in or near my back yard to feral queens (one of which still comes to my yard every day).

What would stop someone just outside of California from setting up a nice website selling their puppy mill animals and shipping them to their buyers in California? 'Or', setup a bogus address and phone number in Arizona associated with your website, sell online, and continue to unite buyers with their puppies at their current California address as usual. That's inter-state commerce and outside the control of the nitwits in Sacramento. My ultimate point is these fascist assholes and their blood lust to control everything have accomplished exactly nothing with this stupid legislation.
