More than 20,000 unwanted dogs and cats are killed in the Twin Cities metro area shelters every year because there are more animals than good homes. The Minnesota Spay/Neuter Project, Inc. (MNSP) was founded on the conviction that the only way to end the overpopulation problem is to stop the flow at its source—by preventing unwanted litters. MSNP addresses that unique community need by focusing on serving low-income neighborhoods and residents. Overpopulation is more rampant in low-income neighborhoods, and residents often lack access to veterinary clinics and the financial resources needed to have their animals sterilized. Each spay/neuter project funded by MSNP costs approximately $4,000 to $5,000. MSNP is an all-volunteer organization, so every dollar received goes directly toward helping animals.

Statute of Limitations
Website: www.statutes-of-limitations.com/news/read/animal-law-101 Minnesota Statutes of Limitations
Animals are, and have always been, an integral part of nature and our planet. The relationships between wild animals and the rest of Earth's ecosystems make life on the planet possible for all living things. Just as there are rules and laws for humans that make the world a safer, more organized place, there are laws to protect animals and regulate how they are treated.
Animal law addresses issues such as animal mistreatment, laboratory animal research, and the conservation of endangered species. Most laws are enacted at the state level, but additional laws are enacted by the federal government.
