Stupid new anti-tethering law

I wholeheartedly agree.

I had a friend once who was upset over leashes even being required. Then again, her dog wasn't trained at all - not even housebroken, because she thought it to be "mean", and that "pets are not slaves" and should have "freewill". Quite often, it was running around in its own excrement too.

Needless to say, that dog got seriously injured because it ran out of the house one day and got hit by a car, thanks to it being allowed "freewill".

That said, I wish there would be a law requiring training for pets, for their own safety and wellbeing.

Or, better yet, abolish all pet laws, but require owner training in order to have a pet. After all, we must have a license and training to drive a car, because lives are at stake. Same thing should go for pets.
