PETA Seeks Chain Use Restrictions
I'm not a proponent of chaining a dog, but I don't think it's governments business to tell dog owners how to manage their dogs.
A billboard advising dog owners to not chain their dogs will rise in this rural community where a 4-year-old boy was fatally attacked by his family’s chained mixed-breed dog.The message from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals will read: “To keep your family safe, chain your door, not your dog.”
Some animal advocates say chaining a dog makes an animal more aggressive.
Sunday, Robbie Shafer was fatally mauled by his family’s Rottweiler-shepherd dog, which was chained in the family’s yard.
Dan Paden, a cruelty case worker in PETA’s Norfolk headquarters, said Thursday the group is mindful of the family’s pain.
