CAMBRIDGE — Progressive city leaders have spent more than a year crafting an ordinance that would ban the sale of various animals at pet shops, and now it appears the City Council is on the verge of passing it.
This ordinance would not just apply to furry creatures — it would cover feathered and scaly friends as well, including reptiles, rodents, amphibians, and even spiders. Cambridge, however, boasts just two pet stores, industry giants Petco and PetSmart.
