Because it’s time.

People all around the state of Minnesota care about animals – people like you who cringe with each new story of animal abuse or neglect they see on television or read in the paper. Those interested in protecting animals have often felt powerless against a system that too often turns a blind eye to abuse in the name of convenience, profit, or even apathy. For years animal protectors have relied on activities such as letter writing, protesting, and leafleting to make the compassionate change they envision.

All the while, people and industries that use animals have been investing more time and money lobbying state and local politicians, and it has paid off for them – laws protecting animals in Minnesota are either weak or non-existent. It’s time for the animal protection movement in Minnesota to get in the game. In other words, it’s time for us to get political! It’s time we work from within the system rather than from without. It’s time we leverage the huge number of people who care about animals and will vote accordingly. The equation is simple: if we want laws that protect animals, we need humane politicians in office. If we want humane politicians in office we’ve got to organize ourselves into a compassionate voting bloc.

It’s time we build and flex our own political muscle. Minnesota Voters for Animal Protection is leading the charge, and it costs you nothing to join. Please join now, and watch your power to bring compassionate change to Minnesota unfold before your eyes!
