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

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, you can still sign the petition. While we cannot submit it to Minnesota legislators, we will email you with news.

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 breeding kennels in the nation. Kittens are also mass-produced in Minnesota.

The State of Minnesota does not license or regulate the dog and cat breeding industry. Due to this lack of oversight, certain breeders cut corners in their operations, creating inhumane breeding practices and conditions and producing unhealthy animals.

I believe animals, like people, deserve to be treated humanely. I believe consumers must be protected. I believe businesses, such as breeders, should be held accountable and believe regulation will help distinguish reputable breeders from inhumane breeders.

I support legislation to regulate dog and cat breeders in Minnesota.
