Ironically there are many pet stores in Greece, yet thousands of street dogs and no shelters.  Often people will buy purebred dogs from these pet stores and later, when they find out the responsibility of being a pet owner or they go away on vacation, they will abandon these dogs into the streets.  I’d propose a tax on the animals pet stores sell that would fund sterilization and shelters that are necessary to address the issues that arise as a result.  The U.S. would benefit from such a tax as well.
