Pinks Host Rich Christensen Tells Fans, 'Life on the End of a Chain Is No Life at All'

Speed TV's Rich Christensen doesn't pull any punches on his hit drag-racing show, Pinks, and he doesn't pull any punches in his new public service announcement (PSA) for PETA either. As far as Rich is concerned, chains belong on your crankshaft, not on your dog. In his inimitable, no-nonsense style, Rich declares, "Life on the end of a chain is no life at all. So if you have to use a chain, use one on a child molester, rapist, or serial killer, and give the dogs a break."

Millions of dogs live their entire lives—24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year—at the end of chains. They get food when their owners remember to toss it out the back door. Entertainment options are basically limited to snapping at the flies who circle around their heads and gnawing on their chains.
