Victory: Governor Schwarzenegger Signs Bill to Restrict Cruel, Dangerous Chaining of Dogs!
As you know, keeping dogs chained—or "tethering," as it's sometimes called—is cruel because it deprives these highly social pack animals of proper socialization and often leaves them unable to reach whatever food, water, and shelter they've been provided. The dogs grow aggressively protective of their tiny spaces and often attack children and other people who come near them.
A piece of legislation that will help make California a safer place for dogs and the public—Senate Bill 1578—has been signed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and will become law.
Thank you for your calls and e-mails to the governor’s office—this is your victory! Please thank Governor Schwarzenegger for signing this legislation!
SB1578 will prohibit a person from tethering, fastening, chaining, tying, or restraining a dog to a doghouse, tree, fence, or any other stationary object for longer than three hours in any 24-hour period.
Please thank Governor Schwarzenegger for signing SB1578:
The Honorable Arnold Schwarzenegger
Governor of California
State Capitol Building
Sacramento, CA 95814
You can improve the lives of dogs and cats suffering from cruelty and neglect.
