Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
In an effort to prevent so-called “puppy mills,” local states and counties are adopting new laws to regulate pet store sales. Virginia’s General Assembly approved a bill that tells pet stores where they can get their animals. Maryland lawmakers are considering a ban on dog and cat sales in new pet stores. And the Montgomery County Council wants to ban sales of animals from commercial “mills.” We examine the debate over where pet stores should source their animals.
