City Council voted to end retail sales of dogs and cats in Fort Collins on Tuesday.

And they took it a step further by adding a ban on sales in any public place, like a parking lot or roadside.

Five of seven council members were present Tuesday, and all of them voted in favor of the ordinance. Mayor Jeni Arndt was absent, along with council member Melanie Potyondy, who requested city staff bring the ordinance before them last month.

Local animal activists have been lobbying council for an ordinance for about a year, saying there’s a puppy-mill-to-pet-store pipeline.
