The owner of Petland Dallas is suing the City of Dallas over its decision to ban the sale of puppies and kittens at pet stores.
Pet store says they don't acquire puppies from substandard breeders, only those licensed by the USDA and select hobby breedersJay Suk's lawsuit said the ordinance passed earlier this month will force his store out of business and will put his 30 employees out of work.
The lawsuit filed by the North Dallas franchise's company, D&J Pets, in a Dallas County court claims the measure discriminates against the store and violates the Texas Constitution. The lawsuit seeks an injunction preventing the ordinance from going into effect and more than $1 million in damages. The lawsuit said puppy and kitten sales account for 80% of Petland Dallas' annual revenue and that the store sources cats and dogs"only from professional breeders and never from any substandard breeders."Download NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
