Potential new regulations concerning sale of cats & dogs

[JohnF]

Seen this in the HDN today:

The selling of cats and dogs from pet shops will be banned across Turkey, according to a new regulation from the Forestry and Waters Affairs Ministry.

The ministry has prepared a draft law on animals, animal rights and pet shops following a series of meetings with representatives of animal rights groups.

According to the changes, those who want to buy pets from pet shops will have to choose from catalogues, as owners of the pet shops will not be allowed to keep cats and dogs on display in their stores. Cats and dogs will be bred at specially designated sites with a suitable light and heat balance, while pet shop owners will only be able to display fish and bird species in their stores.

Hate to see the game birds in tiny cages with no water in the bed shops in Fethiye. However, good to see this new law, hope they will extend it.   
Great news that they will be banning dolphin parks in Turkey.
Thanks for the update.
