I love almost everything about this- I'm sure there are more than enough dogs and cats in shelters without pet stores selling them. Here in the USA, most pet stores have stopped selling dogs and cats anyway and instead host events where a bunch of animals from the local Humane Society are shown off for adoption. However, I do wonder why they chose fish and birds. What if someone wants a pet tarantula, or rabbit, or ferret? Maybe they just haven't gotten around to making the certification programs for other animals yet, and will allow them in time?
