TO INFORM

ROADSIDE VENDORS

To continue educate the offenders and suspects of the law and potential issues of live animal sales on roadways.

sale of live animals on roadways

WHY INITIATIVES

  • Backyard breeders who sell on the side of the road contribute to the overpopulation crisis of dogs and cats in Houston and Harris County. When they are not sold, they are dumped at shelters or worse on the side of the road or used to breed more unwanted animals.

  • Backyard Breeding – not only skirt sales taxes but the breeders also skirt licensing and regulations. Since there are not professional breeders and only looking to make a quick buck, they don’t get licensed which is required by state law.

  • These type of breeding often do not pay for the proper vaccinations for puppies and take puppies too early from their mothers which make them susceptible to diseases. A MAJOR consumer protection along with the animals. If you buy a puppy from a breeder on the side of the road, they will not be there tomorrow. So if the puppy is sick and dies which happen quite often, there is no recourse for the consumer.

  • Selling Animals on the side of the road or in the parking lots cause accidents. Look-Loo slow downs and cause driving hazards.
