Man’s Best Friend
Gandhi once said, “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” With this idea in mind, I decided today to look for local legislation that embodied this sentiment.
While I’ve certainly found quite a few resolutions and ordinances that deal with your run-of-the-mill animal cruelty concerns, one in particular stands out. The City of Austin, Texas passed an Anti-Chaining Ordinance last summer.
From the background tab,
The new Anti-chaining ordinance:
- Prohibits fixed point tethering or chaining of dogs. This means that dogs may not be chained or tethered to any object.
- Clarifies that an outdoor enclosure used to keep six or more dogs, other than puppies less than 6 months old, must be the required distance of 50 feet from an adjacent residence or business.
- Mandates when the outdoor enclosure is the primary living area for a dog or used as an area for the dog to regularly eat, sleep, drink, and eliminate, the enclosure must be a minimum of 150 sq. feet for each dog 6 months of age or older.
- Provides for the temporary tethering of a dog under certain situations (i.e., lawful animal event, veterinary treatment, grooming, training, or law enforcement activity, to protect the safety or welfare of a person or the dog, and if the dog’s owner or handler is presenting during the period of restraint.
WHY CHAINING AND TETHERING IS BAD FOR DOGS:
- Dogs have been bred for thousand of years to form a strong attachment to a human family. They can’t do this if they are chained or tethered in the yard.
- An otherwise friendly and happy dog, when kept continually chained and isolated, often becomes neurotic, unhappy, anxious, and/or aggressive. Studies show that chained dogs are much more likely to bite than unchained dogs.
- Chained dogs may unintentionally hang themselves if they are tethered too close to a fence or an object near the fence and attempt to jump it.
- Chained dogs are at risk of attacks by other animals or cruelty from others.
- Chaining your dog outside will likely worsen existing behavior problems and create new ones.
Personally, I think Gandhi would be downright pleased!
