Issue Position: Domestic Animal Protection

Issue Position

Breeding dogs and cats has become big business and with that business has come the abuse of animals. Jerry Newton worked for years to create strict legislation to eliminate abusive animal breeders. In 2014 the "Puppy Mill Bill" was signed into law by Governor Dayton. Next on Jerry's agenda is dealing with animal traps meant for game animals, but set in recreation areas, which all too often injure or kill a family pet.
