Thank you to the Mayor, Council, City Manager and staff of City of Maplewood for passing a Humane Pet Store Ordinance at last night’s city council meeting! Also a huge shout out to Maplewood resident Jan Derwa for reaching out to see how she could take action for animals in her city and for following through on that 👏

These ordinances are an important preventative measure in stopping the sale of puppies and kittens from mills where the animals are seen as a product versus a sentient being. 

Maplewood joins Roseville, Eden Prairie, St. Paul, Carver, Cloquet, Minneapolis, Coon Rapids, Columbia Heights, Maple Grove, Oak Grove Park, Edina, Osseo, Shoreview, and Lino Lakes, Golden Valley. If you live in a city that’s not yet on the list and would like to help, please send us a message (animalrightscoalition@msn.com)!
