We’re all for adoption but adoption is not for everybody.”Mayor Jim Wood, Deputy Mayor Chuck Lowery and Councilwoman Esther Sanchez voted in favor of the ordinance, saying that commercial breeders, or puppy mills, are inhumane and contribute to pet overpopulation.Sanchez said the city has a “legitimate interest in preventing cruelty to animals.”“This practice, and I’m talking about puppy mill dogs … I believe we have a legitimate interest in addressing,” Sanchez said.The council must vote on the ordinance a second time, and the change would go into effect 30 days after that.It bans the retail sale of dogs or cats, unless they come from an animal shelter or rescue organization. The ordinance exempts the sale of pets by breeders who sell less than 20 animals a year and whose animals are sold in the same place they are born.Animal rights activists say Salinas gets his animals from commercial breeders and that dogs from such operations are mistreated and kept in cramped, unhealthy conditions.

Salinas says he obtains the dogs from Missouri-based Hunte Corp., the world’s largest professional pet distributor. He says Hunte is a successful, well-regulated company.During the meeting, Salinas said his store has sold 897 puppies and only 10 have had health problems.Oceanside’s ordinance gives the store a six-month grace period, which expires Sept. 1, City Attorney John Mullen said.

House For Sale Lookout Drive CumberlandHe said there have been at least five lawsuits filed against cities that have adopted similar ordinances, including one by Salinas.Salinas sued San Diego and several animal rights groups over that city’s ban, saying among other things that it violated his right to sell the dogs.

He later dropped the suit.Four other cases have been filed in federal court in Arizona, Illinois, Rhode Island and Florida. None of those cases have been resolved, Mullen said.Salinas said he plans to wait and see how those lawsuits turn out before deciding whether to sue Oceanside.Animal rights activists started protesting in front of the shop almost as soon as he opened it. They also lobbied City Council members to shut the place down.Wood and Sanchez proposed the ban late last year but it was rejected 3-2, with Councilmen Jerry Kern, Jack Feller and Gary Felien voting no.Felien was defeated in the Nov. 4 election by Lowery, who gained the support of activists when he said during his campaign that he supported the ban.Last month, Sanchez requested a new vote and the council asked the city attorney to draft the ordinance.In recent years, dozens of cities throughout the country have adopted bans targeting commercially bred animals. Sixteen of those cities are in California, including Los Angeles, Chula Vista, Irvine and West Hollywood.
