Should the Municipality prohibit the sale of animals in pet stores? pet-store

That question will be up for debate at tonight’s Council meeting.

Chatham Councillor Brock McGregor wants the Municipality to stop the sale of non-rescue cats and dogs in retail stores in Chatham-Kent, stating that this contributes to adverse animal health.

To do this, he’s asking his fellow councillors to support an amendment in the Responsible Animal Ownership By-Law.
