A city council in Calgary is revisiting a proposed ban on retail sales of dogs, cats, and rabbits, after the proposal was briefed to the community development committee. The ban would prohibit the sale of those pets through retail outlets, a move driven by concerns over animal welfare and perhaps to encourage adoption from shelters rather than store purchases. The proposal has drawn public attention and scrutiny as the council evaluates potential impacts and hears community feedback.
The re-examination indicates that the council is open to reconsideration before making a final decision, reflecting both advocacy from animal-welfare supporters and concerns from local pet-retail stakeholders about the consequences. As deliberations continue, the outcome remains uncertain; the council will weigh ethical, social, and economic factors before deciding whether to enact the ban.
