🎉🐾 Victory for animals! West Hollywood just voted to ban the sale of almost ALL live animals in pet stores — expanding protections beyond dogs and cats to fish, birds, reptiles, and more. 💕 This landmark law takes effect May 1, 2026 and strengthens the city’s long-standing leadership in animal welfare. 🌍✨

💬 What other cities do you think should follow West Hollywood’s lead?
