TO MY LEGISLATOR: Please lead and support animal protection measures

Please, help prevent inhumane dog and cat breeding in Minnesota.

Minnesota is among the top producers of puppies and kittens in the United States, yet the dog and cat breeding industry is not licensed or regulated by our State. As a result, certain individuals and businesses are exploiting dogs, cats, puppies and kittens for profit, creating harm to these animals, and are not being held accountable for their actions.

This issue is important to me. I believe animals, like people, deserve to be treated humanely — and to live a life free of neglect and abuse. I believe Minnesota has the ability to lead and show others how animals can and should be treated.

Thank you for taking the time to understand this issue. Please help protect animals by supporting legislation that will license and regulate dog and cat breeders.
