End Dog Tethering in Front Yards

End Dog Tethering in Front Yards

The Issue

It is dangerous and cruel to keep a dog tethered in a front yard unattended. Dogs that spend their lives on chains often become neurotic, aggressive and pathologically protective of the patch of dirt where they spend their lives. Frustrated and un-socialized, chained dogs pose a year-round danger to unsuspecting children who approach these dogs. Children are especially vulnerable. Each year thousands of children are mauled or killed by these dogs. Please help to end this cruel practice by signing the letter to your appointed officials.
