chained dogs

[Guest guest]

i know dogs cannot be chained for more than 3 consecutive hours in

California, but who knows how often this is actually heeded. My

friend sent me this and it's a non-violent proactive idea:

 

www.dogsdeservebett er.com. Essentially, it's this: if you know of a

dog

who is chained or tied up much/all of the time, you can send the

owner's

address to info@dogsdeservebet ter.org; they will in turn send a

homemade

Valentine's card, made by children (I'll get to that part in a

minute) to

that home asking that they not chain their dog (which is the essence

of

this

group, Dogs Deserve Better). They need the addresses by Feb. 7 in

order to

get the Valentines out. The Valentines are not nasty, but rather

sweet,

with photos of puppies, etc. stating how chaining hurts and they

would

rather be inside with their families, etc.

Additionally, they are looking for homemade Valentines from children

to

send--I think they need those pretty soon--check the website for

more info.

I thought it was an interesting idea--I think many people know/see a

dog

chained in a yard from time to time and don't know what to do about

it, but

this is a nice, anonymous, non-spiteful way to ask for better

treatment for

the dogs.

While the law restricts dogs on tethers to

three hours, the object of the law is to prohibit dogs from being on tethers 24

hours. If you want to send a valentine, target those animal “owners”

and send a copy to your local animal control in California. A knock on the door by animal

control to tell people they cannot “house” their dogs that way may

go a long way. A fear I have is that people will just throw the dogs into the

garage, from the frying pan into the fire as I would prefer animals outside

than jailed in a garage.
