California Residents: Help Chained Dogs!
This week is National Dog Bite Prevention Week, and we need you to show your support for SB 1578 at a news conference to be held on Wednesday, May 24, at 10:00 A.M. in Sacramento on the State Capitol North Steps (facing L Street).
SB 1578, the Anti-Chaining Bill, would prohibit chaining or tethering a dog to a stationary object as a primary means of confinement. Research has shown that chained dogs are nearly three times as likely to bite as dogs who are not chained.
Speakers include the bill’s author, Senator Alan Lowenthal; co-author Assemblymember Paul Koretz; Sacramento City Animal Care Services Director Hector Cazares; and Barbara Hodges, DVM. A dog who was rescued off a chain will also attend with his caregiver.

It's so sad, the new dog in our neighborhood has never been outside its' fence....WORSE even, he has now been chained because he keeps escaping the back yard... I would too if no one ever pet me or gave me any attention!!! Some neighbors and I are horrified for we love our doggies as much as our childern and now we want to do or say something to help the dog...WHAT SHOULD WE DO????
Managing and keeping a dog is not as simple a task as it could appear.Its sad to have the dog chained up and equally neglecting it is wrong.Its too bad the pet owners don't treat their pet that well.
