Pass a Spartanburg ordinance that pets cannot be left outside alone in dangerous weather

The Issue

The City of Spartanburg should pass a stronger ordinance penalizing pet owners who leave their pets outside in dangerous or extreme weather.

It should be illegal for a pet to be left leashed and alone or caged outside in temperatures and for a length of time that exceed safe limits as determined by qualified experts (for instance in below-freezing temperatures). Pet owners found violating these restrictions should face stiff fines and repeat offenders should face pet forfeiture and jail time.
