Can you imagine being chained up each day of your life? With very little room to roam? No human interaction, no love, no thriving, possibly freezing or on the verge of a heat stroke.  Thousands of dogs across Oklahoma go through this every day. Some are tied up on such a little chain or rope that they can’t even lay their head down to sleep. This is inhumane and not right. Other states have a law against this let’s join them let’s be the voice of these dogs let’s help them let’s not allow this cruelty in our great state any longer. Please sign the petition so that we we can let Oklahoma Legislature know that we want this changed. We want to break those chains and free these dogs.

Tethering dogs is inhumane and cruel. Confining dogs by a chain or rope causes them to become aggressive.Long term restraint can damage their psychological well-being. They become unhappy. They are susceptible to physical elements such as raw necks, infections, insect bites, unsanitary areas and are at risk of harm by other dogs or people. Dogs that are tethered for so long can become aggressive towards humans. I am trying to outlaw tethering in Oklahoma. Dogs do not deserve this type of lifestyle. They deserve to be cared for in an appropriate manner that is loving, safe, and clean. Together we can be the voice for these dogs who are in desperate need of help. Together we can be the change for these dogs who are suffering. Together we can break the chains for these dogs and help them live in a natural, safe environment. We need to make it against the law to chain dogs. This is not okay in our state. This needs to be considered illegal. Cruel people who do this to dogs need to face the consequences. They need to fined and punished.
