YES it should be illegal to tether a dog. Dogs are living beings with feelings. How would you like to be chained in the yard in all types of weather with no shelter or water. I can relate to Ruthy There are 2 couples in my neighborhood, One keeps his Lab chained 24hrs. aday. with no shelter, The other has an electric fence with the collar that shocks it if it gets to close, with no shetler from the weather, and no water. I called animal control and reported it. All I got out of that was as long as the owners feed and water the animal every now and again its nithing they can do, What a bunch of crap!!! He(animal control officer), that there is no law that requires a owner to furnish shelter to their animals! One of the owners work for the DISTRICT ATTORNEY OFFICE!!! Do you think this has something to do with not doing anything to them I DO!!!!
