How lazy, it would probably take all of 30 minutes to find out what the laws were in 1983 instead of talking about whether he broke the law then based on today's laws.
But, assuming some protection from wind I don't see how this is any different from putting the dog in the bed of a truck, and in 1983 most people wouldn't have tied up a dog in the bed of a truck.
I also don't take the fact that the dog pooped to be a sign of torture and losing control of its bowels. However, if the dog was up there for 12 straight hours and that is why it pooped in the box then that's not good.
But if the worst thing Romney's done in his life is this, then he's a pretty good person.
