Pet sales would be banned altogether, except for the sale of pet fish. All companion animals including dogs, cats, hamsters, mice, rats, chinchillas, guinea pigs, birds, snakes, and lizards would be considered as pets. If it passes, San Francisco residents would have to go to a shelter or rescue group to adopt an animal.

The following is a guest post from the amazing animal lovers of Adopt-a-Pet.com. Sadly there are 4 million healthy adoptable companion animals killed in shelters each year due to overcrowding. When that animal is available, I am notified the next time a pet matching my search is added on Adopt-a-Pet.com.

I immensely enjoyed "EVERYTHING IS ILLUMINATED" (even on the big screen) and eagerly anticipated "EATING ANIMALS" by Jonathan Safran Foer. Finally, if you know someone who gravitates toward the philosophical issues around our use of animals, this is a good book. Ever, in fact. Not great, but good.
