Should the sale of pets be banned?

Except for the obvious, everyone has a different definition of maltreatment. For instance, a friend thinks it's cruel that another friend has her dogs outside even tho' there is more than adequate supplies of water, food/tread and shelter (dog houses) left outside. They are never chained/tied up in the yard. They have access to interior of the house. They have regular vet care. And never ever without attention and exercise. One of them prefers to be outside most of the time because he's an Eskimo/Husky mutt. He's always hot!
