Child marriage should not be tolerated anywhere.

This should have way more upvotes!

I am so happy for their victory, but just find it bonkers that an indigenous tribe had to fight a legal battle to protect their land in the first place.

This must make many people happy due to one act. Lovely initiative.

I had read about this in the news earlier this year. Good job, mate!

Norway you magical bastards, you give me hope.

Wow, that is a huge rise. Fantastic efforts.

Hopefully supermarkets worldwide can implement more eco friendly alternatives also.

More funding is needed for stem cell research. They have already discovered some incredible ways stem cells can help with paralysis and other movement disorders etc. Imagine what else they can discover.

Ducks will also be providing some fertilizer. Win Win

Hm, I think Sweden must have forgot to apply then. We dont have stray dogs, at least for decades. Any lost dog gets collected, if no owner is found it gets adopted via Animal Protection. I have seen one or two lost dogs, where we found the owner, but never a genuine stray.

Every country needs to do that - and stop whaling.

Steps like these show the power of the State in achieving large scale sustainable results if there is a will.

I'd appreciate daytime disco parties for people over 21

This should be worldwide. Adopt don’t shop.

Pet store sales are getting increasingly criticized now

I cheer for California!

I really want a black cat, they are often in shelters, and the y are so cute!!!!!!!!

i would say down vote, but i dont want down votes. upvote if you hate passionately puppy mills

Animal shelters should be better funded if I'm honest

Finally...NO to puppy mills and a big thumbs up to rescue organizations. I’m thrilled🐾🐾🐾👍🏼

Great idea...too many puppy mills....

How about outlawing the sale of dogs in shops altogether.

The pet stores have already found a way around this great initiative. They just lie, make up shelters, charge through the roof for "purebred rescues", and keep up with their general sh*tty behavior. It IS a great initiative, but it needs a LOT of oversight to be successful.

Fabulous I’ve adopted for 30+ years.

Australia does this too for dogs and cats :)

Another one I am very happy to hear, put the puppy mills, farms out of business

And ban breeders while they're at it. Until there are no animals in shelters, at least.

We have NEVER had that in Sweden, thank god. It's so horrible and sad.

No they just have to stop breeders as well.

Rescue/shelter animals are so often the sweetest and most grateful. They really do know and appreciate being adopted. Give 'em a chance to show themselves off!

I still don't think this is right. No store should be selling dogs, cats or rabbits. It saddens me that some people have no respect or caring for animals and would see this as an opportunity to do heaven knows what to these rescue animals, Does not bare thinking about.

I did not know that and I am typing this in California. There are plenty of good animals out there. My sister got a great cat from a shelter. She was all potty trained and very well socialized by her former owner.

I thank PetSmart for helping make the trend of retailers offering healthy spayed and neutered rescue animals. If people see them, they want them!

❤️❤️❤️!

Hope they all find homes and the puppy mills get shut down.

i'm confused with what they mean by limit sales. like limit pricing? or how many of each animal can be sold? what limitation is imposed? genuinely just curious

YES!! YAY!! Now let’s start fining people who don’t spay/neuter, and BAN sales on kittens & puppies online!!! (gumtree in the u.k. allows this, and these awful people force their cats to have kittens year after year!) I’ve volunteered for no-kill shelters and it’s heartbreaking. I’ve had a dozen kittens clinging to me within minutes of my arrival. This is unacceptable for “developed” countries. We domesticated them, they’re our responsibility.

That is very good news, saves innocent lives, eliminate suffering.

Britain has banned sales of puppies in pet stores

FANTASTIC!

Voilà une super de belle initiative

All countries should be as smart !!!

Montreal too!

And who kills the others?

Ohhh I like this!💖

There should be no pet store sales
