The Humane Pet Sales Bill has officially been submitted to the Washington State House and Senate! With the start of the 2020 Washington Legislative Session, the Humane Pet Sales Bill is on its way towards a vote. In the House, the bill number is HB 2344 sponsored by Representative Sherry Appleton (District 23), Representative Amy Walen (District 48), and Representative Gerry Pollet (District 46). Its Senate counterpart, SB 6221, is sponsored by Senator Derek Stanford (District 1). The Humane Pet Sales Bill is an expanded retail pet ban that ensures animal welfare is preserved throughout the entire adoption process. Without harming reputable breeders, the bill will make the sale of dogs and cats in pet stores illegal unless they are showcasing animals in collaboration will an animal care and control agency or animal rescue group. It is a crucial step towards ensuring legal protection for consumers and animals alike. We would be so grateful for your support in passing this essential bill. Please consider emailing your legislator, as every constituent voice helps! Issaquah, WA 01/14/20
