I live in a state where it’s now mandatory to have all kitties and doggies on leashes and or in carriers when traveling in a car. Seriously.

It seems kind of mean to the dogs. How are they going to put their heads out the window?
I have tried leashing my cat to take her for a walk. It did not bode well for the cat and i still have the battle scars. She’d rather watch the world from her window.
New Jersey is like New York: Utterly insane.
I suspect that the motivation is revenue collection rather than safety.
