California Leading the Way

In this article, I read about the phenomenon that finally started in the state of California. The law was recently passed that pet stores could no longer sell dogs, cats, or rabbits unless they came from the shelter or rescue groups. This prevents puppy mills and kitten mills that are a dying place for these fur babies. "I think you are going to start seeing more and more states doing it" Kevin O'Neill says, as California has more or less started the trend for this. I think this article conveys the importance to readers about adopting from shelters first. The rhetoric used here really triggers a certain audience that will spread the word on this subject matter and hopefully make it a movement across the U.S. [139 words, 1 quote, 1 image, 1 link]
