PREAMBLE Pet stores, retail businesses, and other commercial establishments selling live animals have traditionally been a sales outlet for young dogs, cats, and rabbits bred in substandard breeding facilities often referred to as "puppy mills", "kitten mills", and "rabbit mills" which mass-produce animals for sale to the public. Animals born and raised at these types of facilities are often subjected to: over­ breeding and inbreeding; minimal to non-existent veterinary care; lack of adequate food, water, and shelter; lack of socialization; lack of adequate space; and the euthanization of unwanted animals. The inhumane conditions in facilities such as these may lead to health and behavioral issues in those animals, which many consumers are unaware of when purchasing animals. These health and behavioral issues, which may not present themselves until years after the purchase of the animals, can impose exorbitant financial and emotional costs on consumers. The Murray City Municipal Council believes that regulating the retail sale of dogs, cats, and rabbits within the City will promote community awareness of animal welfare, and , in turn, will foster a more humane environment in the City. These regulations will also reduce impulse purchases of pets, which can lead to abandonment or mistreatment of the animals once they have outgrown their initial appeal, as well as reduce the costs of sheltering and euthanizing unwanted problem pets. The City Council has thus determined that it is in the best interest of the City's residents to adopt this ordinance to regulate the retail sale of dogs, cats, and rabbits within the City. BE IT ENACTED BY THE MURRAY CITY MUNICIPAL COUNCIL: Section 1. Purpose. The purpose of this ordinance is to enact Section 6.16.070 of the Murray City Municipal Code relating to the sale of dogs, cats, and rabbits at pet shops, retail businesses, or other commercial establishments.

Section 6.16.070 of the Murray City Municipal Code relating to the sale of dogs, cats, and rabbits at pet shops, retail businesses, or other commercial establishments shall be enacted to read as follows: 6.16.070 Sale of Dogs, Cats, and Rabbits at Commercial Animal Establishments A. Purpose. The purpose of this Ordinance is to protect the citizens of the City who may purchase dogs, cats, or rabbits from a pet shop, retail business, or other commercial establishment, by reducing the emotional and financial burdens on consumers who unwittingly buy mill-bred pets, and to reduce the costs to the City of sheltering and euthanizing unwanted problem pets.
