Here's a proposed rule for regulating online pet sales. Those of us who are more concerned about animals' right to a natural life (as in the Cat Sanctuary) than about their "right" to be spared any suffering except the suffering inherent in being confined, sterilized, and euthanized (as in the Humane Pet Genocide Society's efforts) need to check out the legalese:

(Note that this link appeared on the White House Blog only after the deadline for discussion with those who proposed these changes to existing regulations.)
Should people be buying pets from professional breeders, online, sight unseen? Not if they want rewarding relationships with healthy, friendly animals. On the other hand, what have federal regulations ever done for any sector of the economy?
