The law also encourages partnerships that promote the adoption of homeless pets.<\/p>\n<p>Authored by Assembly member Patrick O\u2019Donnell (D-Long Beach), Assembly Bill 485 protects animals and consumers, and sets an important precedent for the rest of nation. The bill passed the CA legislature Sept. 14. To date, 36 jurisdictions in California \u2013 including the cities of Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Diego and San Francisco \u2013 have enacted similar ordinances, and the signing of AB 485 makes California the first state in the nation to enact a statewide prohibition on pet store sales of dogs from puppy mills.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis landmark law breaks the puppy mill supply chain that pushes puppies into California pet stores and has allowed unscrupulous breeders to profit from abusive practices,\u201d said\u00a0<strong><em>Matt Bershadker, president and CEO of the ASPCA<\/em><\/strong>. \u201cWe\u2019re proud to be part of the coalition that worked alongside Assemblymember Patrick O\u2019Donnell to pass this critical animal protection bill, and thank the California legislature and Governor Brown for sending the clear message that industries supporting animal cruelty will not be tolerated in our society.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy signing this groundbreaking bill, California has set an important, humane precedent for other states to follow,\u201d said\u00a0<strong><em>Gregory Castle, CEO of Best Friends Animal Society<\/em><\/strong>. \u201cWe commend Governor Brown\u2019s signing of this lifesaving legislation to codify statewide what cities across California have already done to help put an end to the cruelty of pet mills.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCalifornians recognize that pet stores enable the work of puppy mills, which cause suffering for dogs and heartbreak for consumers,\u201d said\u00a0<strong><em>Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of The Humane Society of the United States.<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cWe are grateful to Governor Brown for putting his stamp of approval on a state policy to dry up funding for this inhumane industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a significant milestone in easing the overcrowding of homeless animals in California shelters, relieving county budgets and stopping the abusive puppy mill industry,&#8221; said\u00a0<strong><em>Gary Weitzman, president and CEO of the San Diego Humane Society.<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0&#8220;We commend Governor Brown for signing AB 485 so California can continue to lead the country in the protection of animals and helping end the cruelty of commercial puppy mills once and for all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis legislation is a big step forward for animals in California,\u201d said\u00a0<strong>Dr. Jennifer Scarlett, President of the SF SPCA<\/strong>. \u201cBy signing AB 485, Governor Brown has helped stop pet mill cruelty and save the lives of rescue animals in San Francisco and across our state. We want to extend our sincere thanks to Governor Brown for his leadership on this issue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>California joins more than 230 cities, towns and counties across the U.S. that have passed pet store ordinances to take a stand against allowing cruelly-bred animals to be sold in their communities. Despite enticing claims that they only source from licensed, humane or small-scale breeders, pet stores across the country are invariably supplying unsuspecting consumers with animals from puppy and kitten \u201cmills.\u201d These \u201cmill\u201d facilities are designed to maximize profits at to the expense of the animals in their possession. Those animals are generally kept in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions without adequate veterinary care, food, water or socialization. Animals bred in these conditions may suffer severe health problems, including contagious and deadly diseases and congenital defects, as well as behavioral problems. AB 485 will help break the supply chain so that \u201cmill\u201d operations are unable to profit from their abusive practices.<\/p>\n<p>This groundbreaking legislation has the enthusiastic support of a coalition of local and national animal welfare groups including the ASPCA, Best Friends Animal Society, The Humane Society of the United States, San Diego Humane Society and San Francisco SPCA.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"_GoBack\" name=\"_GoBack\"><\/a><strong>Media Contacts:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Best Friends Animal Society: Temma Martin;\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:temmam@bestfriends.org\">temmam@bestfriends.org<\/a>; 801-953-8876<\/p>\n<p>ASPCA: Maureen Linehan;\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:maureen.linehan@aspca.org\">maureen.linehan@aspca.org<\/a>; 646-706-4602<\/p>\n<p>The Humane Society of the U.S.: John Goodwin;\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:jgoodwin@humanesociety.org\">jgoodwin@humanesociety.org<\/a>; 301-653- 2542<\/p>\n<p>San Diego Humane Society: Elizabeth Pecsi-Guerrero;\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:epecsi@sdhumane.org\">epecsi@sdhumane.org<\/a>; 619-279-5086<\/p>\n<p>San Francisco SPCA: Krista Maloney;\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:kmaloney@sfspca.org\">kmaloney@sfspca.org<\/a>; 415-522-3507<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Best Friends Animal Society<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Best Friends Animal Society is a leading national animal welfare organization dedicated to ending the killing of dogs and cats in America&#8217;s shelters.
