JMHO, if you have to tie your dog outside unsupervised, you shouldn’t have a dog.

Gee, I guess that justifies those as swipes actions, huh?
Agreed, it’s preferable only to having a loose dog roaming about on other people’s property.
It makes mistreatment of such dogs even crueler—they have no ability to get away should one of the government employees experience Sudden Doghadi Syndrome upon viewing one of our canine companions.
And violators of your law will have their dog tased ...?
Guess you can’t tie them inside either. Bunk!
Totally agree with you. These people just want a dog that barks an alert, nothing more. The dog can't get away from people or critters when it is attached to something. What a horrible existence for the dog.
Please read the entire article — the dog was indeed tied up, but it was in the BACK YARD. The police had no business going to the back yard to leave their card at the front door.
Lots of people tie out or kennel dogs when they can’t personally supervise them, are at work or whatever- it is a responsible thing to do so the dog doesn’t get in trouble; which normally works fine. Of course some people kennel or tie and neglect a dog but there is always a certain number of irresponsible people, those kind of people would neglect dogs no matter how they kept them.
We don’t know what kind of pet owner this lady is but I don’t agree that tying one out or kenneling one is a bad thing- depends on how it is done. I imagine if the dog had the run of the entire back yard the officer would likely have shot it so don’t see how her tying her dog up was part of this at all.
Being tied up is really no difference from being fenced in.
Agree 100%!
