Animal Folks MN |
Minnesota is among the top producers of puppies in the nation, yet Minnesota has no state laws to regulate the dog and cat breeding industry. Learn more about puppy/kitty mills and what our legislature is doing about them. |
Ask the MN Legislature to Regulate Puppy Mills |
A few days ago a petition was launched at the Petition Site, asking the Minnesota Legislature to enact regulation of puppy mills in the state. The goal of the petition was to generate 2,000 signatures within the next couple of months. In fact, in less than three days, the petition has already collected nearly 1,300 signatures, including those of sheriffs, prosecuting attorneys, breeders as well as animal rescuers. Once the petition reaches the full 2,000 signatures, it will be closed and the full petition will be distributed to each legislator. In the interim, we have collected some of the more relevant comments from Minnesotans in each of these categories and others and are providing them for you here in an easy to read format.

Raw Butcher Bones |
RAW butcher bones are great to help keep dogs teeth clean! Grundhofer’s Old-Fashion Meats in Hugo has them - 651-426-2800. DO NOT cook these. You want the big knuckle or shank bones. Give these ONLY to your dog if they do not turn into a Dr. Jeckyl (start growling, protecting it, dares you to take it or walk by it) over them. Give the bone in a controlled area so they can not go bury it where it will get diseased and contaminated. Do not cook any bone that you give to your dog. Cooking causes bones to becomes dry and brittle and have a greater chance of doing damage to your dog (creating a "log jam" at the end of their rectum or having a jagged edge on a piece of bone and cutting the throat or rectum on the way down and out). If you choose to use a raw butcher bone (it is great for keeping their teeth clean, the nutrients they get from it are great, they have a great time playing with it) they will have to be "let out" to go potty more often for 24 hrs after eating them. The bones are very rich and the average dog gets a bit of the "runs" from them. DO NOT get any smoked bones - they are too high in salt and nitrates and are bad for the dogs. DO NOT get any sterilized bones - they are too hard and can break teeth. |
