  7. Re:Anecdote, data etc... on San Francisco Considers Ban On All Pet Sales · · Score: 1

    Some form of regulation is not the right idea. Target the abusers, where ever you want to draw the abuse line I think that equating "pet sales" with "abuse" is drawing the line in the wrong place. Using the same logic, they should also ban having children given the number of parents who neglect and/or abuse their children.
