Working with other local animal organizations and individual citizens throughout Minnesota, Animal Folks MN has collected and submitted over 10,000 petitions in support of breeder regulation to State legislators.

We plan to continue building this network of statewide support. These petitions allow us to build a strong database of supporters that reaches all areas of Minnesota. Please, sign the petition below and encourage others to do so.

If you do not live in Minnesota or the United States, we still welcome your support. While we cannot submit your petition to Minnesota legislators, we will keep your name on file and update you as to the bill’s progress.

TO MY LEGISLATOR: Please support regulation of dog and cat breeders

Minnesota is among the top producers of puppies in the United States, with some of the largest puppy mills in the nation. Minnesota also mass-produces kittens.

The State of Minnesota does not license or regulate this multi-million dollar industry. Due to this lack of oversight, unscrupulous breeders exploit dogs, cats, puppies and kittens for profit, creating harm and suffering to animals.

I believe animals, like people, deserve to be treated humanely. I believe consumers must be protected. I believe businesses, such as breeders, should act responsibly.

Please support licensing and regulation of the dog and cat breeding industry.
