No Carmel businesses currently sell cats or dogs, but Carmel Councilman Adam Aasen wants to make sure the situation won't arise in the future.
Morton said the Humane Society is encouraged by communities around Indiana, like Carmel, that are taking a proactive approach to banning the sale of cats and dogs at pet stores.
“But communities have control over what they allow in their communities and the businesses that would sell these types of animals. These communities have a choice and impact in making a humane decision in moving forward with an ordinance like this.”
