In reply to the discussion: California Becomes 1st State to Ban Retail Sale of Dogs, Cats, Rabbits [View all]Codeine
(25,586 posts)9. Rabbit is a fairly common meat.
We raised and ate rabbits when I was a child in the 70s. Our rabbit hutches were my chore, in weather foul and fair. Before leaving for school I had to go break the ice on their water tubs and give them fresh alfalfa.
Of course, the fact that I fed, watered, and cared for them daily only to see them killed and butchered probably went a long way toward my decision to be a vegan as an adult. That and deer hunting.

So glad to hear of this humane act... hopefully, other states will follow California's lead.

Good intentions, but now people will just buy their purebreds out of state.

This is a great first step. Now I'm sure more states will follow suit. nt

Breeding should be licensed and regulated. We don't need retail stores selling puppy mill dogs. nt
