Writing to my Legislators3/4/2020 I was able to reach out to encourage support for the humane pet store bill, authored by Senator Bigham. This bill will prevent the pet store sale of dogs and cats from puppy and kitten mills. Unfortunately most dogs and cats sold in pet stores come from puppy mills, as responsible breeders do not sell to pet stores- they sell directly to the customer. The bill requires pet stores to follow the humane model, where they do not sell commercially bred dogs and cats, but they are allowed to host adoption events with animal shelters and rescues. The vast majority of pet stores in Minnesota already follow this model, and this bill will not impact responsible breeders. I urge you as well as our legislators to support this legislation.
