Reply to comment by Lost_sidhe in State Orders NYC To Drop Foie Gras Sales Ban, Says Ban Violates NY Agricultural Law by Gato1980

With the news of the law banning the sale of puppies etc in shops, how would this logic not also apply there? Just curious about the broader applications, I do not have a horse in this race

Puppy mills don't grease Albany with lots of lobbying money the way that animal ag does.

Also people don't rely on puppies for food. Cruelty in how we treat pets is a lot different from how we secure the food chain.

I'd guess (and that's all it is) that if it's a city only ban, then the state has set precedent to overturn it on similar grounds.

The selling-puppies-in-pet-shops ban is a state law, signed by the governor after some changes were made (like having it take effect in 2024 rather than immediately, for instance). So it is not analogous to this.

Kinda what I was thinking. But, I’m not a lawyer and I don’t care enough to look into it deeper than this surface level question lol
