Dear supporter of our petition to ban dog tethering!

Remember the 14 dogs in Ontario? Chained up in the snow in a field without water, care or sufficient protection from the freezing cold.

These dogs, and the dog lovers fighting for justice for the poor creatures, have been let down many times by the authorities and animal welfare officials. They have kept fighting so that these dog abusers would be charged and go to court.

FINALLY, we got the below news from Canada. They are going to court! But; the fight isn’t over. Thousands and thousands of sled dogs, hunting and farm dogs are still subject to the same cruel abuse. Please share our petition! We are now looking at when to bring this petition to government....
