It spreads unfortunately. The same kind of stupid crap is/has been passed in Louisville, Albuquerque, and now maybe Mn. I watched a animal cops show from SF some time back, I usually avoid it because those people are lunatics. But they were freaking out about a dog in a car. The dog was perfectly happy, and AC was wearing jackets so it wasn't hot, and they were freaking! The animal 'rights' groups need to be STOPPED, as do the ridiculous laws!!! If you care to join the fight, join the yahoo group petlaw, it is eye-opening when you realize the constant onslaught of anti-dog laws!

It makes them frustrated to see no barrier, but cannot move further then the line allows them. It is just wrong and shouldn't be done on a daily basis. Tethering your dog is very cruel.

No dog should be chained/tethered outside for more than a couple hours at a time. Chained dogs are much more prone to developing aggression than dogs allowed to roam free in a fenced yard. If someone doesn't have a fenced yard, it is better to leave the dog in a crate while they are at work, or in a kennel. Please see this website for more information about chaining/tethering and why it's not such a great idea: http://www.unchainyourdog.org/ This is a direct quote from that website, as I cannot say it any better: "Why is tethering dogs inhumane? Dogs are naturally social beings who thrive on interaction with human beings and other animals. In the wild, dogs and wolves live, eat, sleep, and hunt with a family of other canines. Dogs are genetically determined to live in a group. A dog kept chained alone in one spot for hours, days, months, or even years suffers immense psychological damage. An otherwise friendly and docile dog, when kept continuously chained, becomes neurotic, unhappy, anxious, and often aggressive. In many cases, the necks of chained dogs become raw and covered with sores, the result of improperly fitted collars and the dogs' constant yanking and straining to escape confinement. Some chained dogs have collars embedded in their necks, the result of years of neglect at the end of a chain." I completely agree with the tether law.
