Dear Councilmembers of the :
I am a Renton citizen and I am writing today in regards to D-194 to ask for a vote in favor of a humane ordinance that
would prevent pet stores from partnering with commercial breeders to sell unaltered puppies and kittens in our city. Not
only would this stop the puppy mill to pet store pipeline in our city, but it would protect my neighbors from potentially
buying sick puppies and getting locked into predatory loans with high interest rates.
An ordinance like this would still allow reputable breeders to sell their animals directly to the public and animal rescue
organizations to find dogs and cats homes through adoption. Lastly, this solution would help ensure that local shelters
don't bear the burden of pet store sales gone wrong when these animals are abandoned or surrendered.
Please consider supporting a humane ordinance that would prevent pet stores from selling puppies and kittens from
inhumane breeding operations in our city.
Sincerely,
Marcie Yturraspe
