According to the Center for Disease Control "chained dogs are 2.8 times more likely to bite that unchained dogs". Chained dogs get anxious, territorial and aggressive. Unfortunately, "most victims are children". Dog chaining is cruel because they have to live in a limited space having to defecate, urinate and sleep in the same place, therefore increasing the risks of diseases in our community. Please join this petition and ask the Osceola County Board of Commissioners to amend the ordinance and totally ban the chaining of dogs in our community.
