On November 15, Brookline Town Meeting Members banned the sale of puppies, kittens, rabbits, birds, and small mammals in pet stores, AND banned the use of exotic animals in traveling acts within Brookline borders. Thank you to Brookline high school animal advocates who led these two measures to success!
This makes Brookline the 14th municipality to pass a humane pet shop ordinance and the 15th to pass a ban on traveling wild animal acts. Read more in Brookline.News.
