ARE YOU GOING TO THE STATE FAIR THIS YEAR???
This year, the Minnesota Senate State Fair poll includes the following question:
"Should Minnesota ban pet shops from selling dogs and cats while continuing to allow pet shops to host adoption events for animals from shelters or rescue organizations?"
If you're attending the Minnesota State Fair, please stop by the Minnesota Senate booth in the Education Building and vote "YES" on Question 3.
Legislation to prohibit the sale of puppies in pet shops is expected to be considered again in 2027. A strong show of support at the State Fair can help demonstrate that Minnesotans want lawmakers to take action to stop the puppy mill pipeline and protect animals and consumers.
