Puppies, kittens, rabbits, etc. could be only obtained by responsible breeders / shelters

"Pet shops typically acquire their dogs and cats from inhumane commercial breeding facilities, often called “puppy mills” or “kitten mills.” Pet stores are a preferred sales outlet for puppy mills because they allow the cruelty at the mills to remain hidden from consumers. This bill prohibits the sale of dogs and cats (and H. 384 includes rabbits too) from pet shops unless the animals come from shelters or rescue organizations. This legislation does not prevent consumers from acquiring one of these animals from a responsible breeder or a shelter or rescue organization. Further, it does not prohibit a pet shop from partnering with a shelter or rescues to provide animals in their store."
