ORDINANCES: FIRST READING O ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 47 SEC A,B &C OF THE CODE OF THE TOWNSHIP OF GLOUCESTER ENTITLED PETS, AND ANIMAL ABUSE BY ADDING SUBSECTION D REGULATING THE SALE OF DOGS AND CATS FROM PET SHOPS WHEREAS, in the best interest of the residents of Township of Gloucester and other citizens who may purchase dogs and cats, and in the interest of promoting community awareness, certain amendments to the current ordinance regulating Pets Shops located within the Township of Gloucester are required, and

3 WHEREAS, a significant number of puppies and kittens sold at pet shops come from large scale commercial breeding facilities where the health and welfare of the animals are not regularly provided for ("puppy mills" and "kitten mills," respectively). According to The Humane Society of the United States, it is estimated that 10,000 puppy mills produce more than 2,400,000 puppies a year in the United States and that most pet shop dogs and cats come from puppy mills and kitten mills, and WHEREAS, the documented abuses endemic to puppy and kitten mills include overbreeding, inbreeding, minimal to non-existent veterinary care; lack of adequate and nutritious food, water and shelter, lack of socialization, lack of adequate space and lack of adequate exercise, and WHEREAS, the inhumane conditions in puppy and kitten mill facilities lead to health and behavioral issues in the animals bred in those facilities, which many consumers are unaware of when purchasing animals from pet shops due to both a lack of education on the issue and misleading tactics of pet health and behavioral issues in some cases, These health and behavioral issues, which may not present themselves until some time after the purchase of the animals, can impose exorbitant financial and emotional costs on consumers, and WHEREAS, current Federal and State regulations do not adequately address the sale of puppy and kitten mill dogs and cats in pet shops, and WHEREAS, restricting the retail sale of puppies and kittens to only those that are sourced from shelters or rescue organizations is likely to decrease the demand for puppies and kittens bred in puppy and kitten mills and is likely to increase demand for animals from animal shelters and rescue organizations, and WHEREAS, according to the New Jersey Department of Health 2014 Animal Intake and Disposition Survey, due in large part to pet overpopulation, more than 20,000 dogs and cats are euthanized in New Jersey animal shelters annually, including nearly 1,500 in the County of Camden. Restricting the retail sale of puppies and kittens to only those that are sourced from animal shelters and rescue organizations will likely reduce pet overpopulation and thus the burden on such agencies and financial costs on local taxpayers, and WHEREAS, across the country, thousands of independent pet shops as well as large chains operate profitably with a business model focused on the sale of pet services and supplies and not on the sale of dogs and cats. Many of these shops collaborate with local animal shelters and rescue organizations to offer space and support for showcasing adoptable homeless pets on their premises; and WHEREAS, this Ordinance will not affect a consumer's ability to obtain a dog or cat of his or her choice directly from a breed-specific rescue organization or a shelter, or from a hobby breeder where the consumer can see directly the conditions in which the dogs or cats are bred, or can confer directly with the hobby breeder concerning those conditions; and WHEREAS, the Township Council of the Township of Gloucester believes it is in the best interest of the Township to adopt reasonable regulations to reduce costs to the Township and its residents, protect the citizens of Gloucester Township who may purchase cats or dogs from a pet shop or other business establishment, help prevent inhumane breeding conditions, promote community awareness of animal welfare, and foster a more humane environment in the Township.
