contact the minnesota state veterinarian/B.A.H. The State Veterinarian works with the Board of Animal Health (B.A.H.), which is funded by the State of Minnesota. There is no State law that gives the B.A.H. the authority to accept complaints or act upon grievances. The B.A.H. has been one agency considered to coordinate and administer dog and cat breeder regulations, including licensing, inspections, enforcements, and penalties, if a bill should be heard and approved by Minnesota legislators. As for reporting breeder grievances and animal harm, you can contact this office but, without regulatory authority, they will most likely re-direct you to the Animal Humane Society or your local law enforcement. However, the Board of Animal Health needs to be aware of the depth and breadth of inhumane breeding in Minnesota. By contacting this agency, in addition to your local humane society or law enforcement, the B.A.H. will become aware of the crisis. State agencies need to know a problem exists in order to act upon it. Your voice will raise the level of awareness and help create change. http://www.bah.state.mn.us/
