Banning Tethering can affect how you RV w/your dog_VERY long
Yes this is very long.
If you have no interest in it please click on to another topic! :B
When the bus started rolling out a few years back when the aspca started the actions of banning certain breeds and on to banning even breeds that didn't warrant it, everyone thought it was the best idea ever.
I'm sure by now all of you have finally seen how that affected your ability to use CG's while RV'ing with your well behaved dogs who sadly fall on that list.
Well.......
The tethering buss is out of the station and steamrolling. I've only been following Florida's but each month another county jumps on this and is banning tethering because of the pressure from the ASPCA. ASPCA reps and animal activists are organizing and are showing up at town hall meetings across the whole US.
ASPCA and animal activists feel tethering is extreme cruelty to animals. They are putting an all out mission on this one.
Start attending the town hall meetings in your state and county and stop them from banning tethering if you ever want to be able to tie your dog out at a CG or anywhere for that matter.
They are not going to advertise these bills in your local newspaper, they just bring it up in a meeting, vote and pass it. County officials don't have a clue what it is all about, only that ASPCA is sending representatives to town hall meetings across the US and pressuring them to pass it, knowing full well these meetings don't always have the entire town there. If no one is there to question it's validity these officials are just passing these laws for banning tethering. They are purposely hitting at the county/town level because of the ease of having them voted on right then and there.
The ASPCA is pushing that tethering a dog out 24 hours a day is cruel.
The tethering laws DO NOT distinguish between 24 hours a day or 1 hour or 5 minutes. It will ban tethering a dog for 'any' reason, 'any' length of time.
The in your face with pictures of dogs tied up full time in a deplorable looking back yard tactic is so that the pet owners who keep their dogs inside will get all riled up about tethering a dog 24 hours a day so that they all gather and rally 'for' this ban. Not knowing the full ramification of this law.
Yes most of us do not like to see the dog that is tied in the back yard and that is his entire life. Yes that's sad, but this tethering ban will encompass so much more. This tethering ban is going to allow them to come on your property without a warrant if they see a dog tied up. THIS is the more important reason why we need to stop these bans.
As RV'ing pet owners let's not let this one slip thru like the banned breeds law did. Or you can forget about being able to tie your dog up while you are eating lunch at the picnic table outside your rv at your campsite :(
