So basically as long as they are weaned and have not been "forcibly" weaned they can sell them, which in my opinion sucks! I think they should have a definate age and maybe even a certificate to prove their age (although i know some people would lie about it) before they can sell them.  |
Well legally the kittens were probably old enough  . As you said this stinks, so a puppy or kitten which can in theory be weaned at 3/4 weeks can then be sold, sickening. Thanks for looking it up.
