Pet Shop Moratorium
• Purpose is to, after conducting the requisite studies, prohibit the sale of mass-produced
dogs and/or cats by substandard breeding facilities
• Majority of dogs offered for sale in pet stores are sourced from large-scale breeding
operations, better known as puppy mills
• The practice is inhumane and fraught with animal abuse and cruelty. Michele Lazaro,
Hallandale Beach City Commissioner, is here to give voice to the incidents of cruelty
occurring at the mills and the role pet shop play in this tragedy
• The 6-month moratorium will allow time for City staff to study the issue, the extent of the
abuse and the role of pet shops in the process, and craft procedures that will eliminate
the presence of pet shop stores sourcing their puppies and kittens from mills
