Acuerdo 801 de 2021, Bogotá City Council (Concejo de Bogotá)
It bans selling live animals in the city’s market squares (plazas de mercado). It does not affect us, because we never hand over a puppy in a market or in the street, but it is worth knowing if anyone asks to meet you in one. Source: Bogotá.gov.co.
