Morning Rachel -- I might not have been as clear as I could have in my post. I was making two separate points. I started off with saying "I
personally would not want to have more dogs than I could have in my home." This was not part of either of the proposed pieces of legislature I listed. This is just me with my dogs. I don't have large outdoor dogs, so I prefer to keep mine in my home where they can always be socialized and part of the family. I would feel entirely different with St. Bernards I am sure!
I went on to say, "But I know there are many outdoor kennel set ups that are humane and sanitary, where they let the dogs out for daily exercise and personal time with people. " and then listed the laws in the works that go along
these lines.
I agree wholeheartedly, that they could not make a law saying all dogs had to be kept in the home. Some dogs would be abused by that treatment and need their outdoor space. Hope that clears up my previous post for you and -- look we are agreeing on topic again.
If you have time, read the bills I mentioned and see if you could support them. If so, I have a post in the AnimalPrtection and Welfare forum that tells more how to help get them passed.
