    Many people —— including pet store owners, groomers〖⊹⊱动物美容师⊰⊹〗, and breeders 〖⊹⊱饲养员⊰⊹〗—— opposed the bill. They said that it could hurt the purebred-animal industry, that some of the shelter cats and dogs might not even be from Colorado, and that the bill was unfair to other shelter pets, such as fish and birds.

      But many others supported the bill, they believe that it sends a positive message about caring for animals, and that it might help more shelter cats and dogs find homes. In recent years, 6 million to 8 million animals ended up in shelters across the U.S.

        About half of them have had to be put to sleep because not enough people are adopting pets. Colorado shelters alone take in about 170,000 pets each year.

          Colorado is the first state to choose shelter cats and dogs as state pets. Eleven states have state dogs, and three have state cats.
