New York is the latest state to ban the sale of cats, dogs and rabbits in pet stores.

Following California's lead, they're requiring pet stores to work with animal shelters or rescue operations.

They intend to get rid of puppy farms and are banning breeders from selling more than nine animals a year.

Good show!

New York bans pet stores from selling cats, dogs and rabbits
