Just so you know... a similiar measure was passed recently in two =
counties here in GA... Immediately shelter numbers SOARED. In spite of =
what the ARs would like you to believe, tethering does not automatically =
equal abuse.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Richmond is considering a new measure that would =
limit how long a pet can be chained up.
It's being called an anti-chaining law and it would limit the time pets =
can be chained to just one hour a day.
Animal experts say chaining dogs for long periods can lead to aggressive =
behavior or even death.
Councilman Doug Conner has proposed the law. Conner's proposed law would =
make it illegal to chain or tether a dog for more than one hour in a =
24-hour period. Dog owners would also be required to give their pets =
adequate space to live.
Richmond's proposal is modeled after tether laws in Norfolk and Virginia =
Beach -- though those cities give owners three hours to chain their =
dogs.
Richmond officials will likely vote on the law in September.

Please take time to write, call and/or fax. We are quickly losing our =
right to confinement options across the country. If they would enforce =
the animal abuse laws already on the books, there would be no need to =
punish responsible owners by taking away their rights.=20
