California is now the first state to ban pet stores from selling animals from commercial breeders, thanks to a new law signed by Gov. Jerry Brown in October. Animal advocates say it will reduce what they claim is the needless suffering of animals like puppies, kittens, and rabbits bred for sale. But critics say it will hurt pet store owners and force consumers to go underground.
The law goes effect in January 2019.
Pet industry and commercial breeders oppose the measure, as does the American Kennel Club. They say the law will make it more difficult for Californians to obtain dogs with the characteristics and traits they want, including breeds that are recommended for health considerations.
However, individual breeders would still be able to sell to customers. The law applies only to retail pet stores like Puppy Heaven, a shop north of Los Angeles in Agoura Hills.
The store specializes in smaller dog breeds that have become increasingly popular in the last few years, like Yorkies, Maltese, Pomeranians, Maltipoos, and Morkies. These dogs can sell from $750 to $5,000, depending on the breed.
Buddhist monks made their way through silk road in first century CE and thereby Buddhism got spread across China and other parts of Asia.
Explanation:
After having its roots in China, Buddhism expanded to Central Asia, Korea and Japan. This form of Buddhism later got spread in East Asia which was known as Mahayana and then the same culture started to expand and flourish in Tibet and Nepal in the name of Vajrayana.
These countries adopted various traditions and cultures which significantly varied on the basis of Buddhist teachings and scriptures. Burma, Myanmar and SriLanka also absorbed the teachings of Buddhism and many Buddhist monks formed monasteries and began to spread the teachings of Buddha around the world.
They crossed over a "land bridge" between the countries. The ice froze all the water so they were able to walk across it.
The Immigration Act of 1924 produced highly discriminatory results because it set a max on how many immigrants could come to the US depending on what country they came from.
For example, there were many more opportunities for citizens from countries like Germany, Great Britain, and Sweden in comparison to individuals from Italy or Russia. Here are some numbers to support this claim:
Germany's Quota (aka amount that could come into US)- 51,227
Great Britain and Northern Ireland's Quota- 34,0007
Sweden's Quota- 9,561
Italy's Quota- 3,845
Russia's Quota-2, 248.
