Dangerous legislation on RI gov's desk-- Please visit the AKC web site for information on a new law in RI that will severely interfere with your rights to use crates, cages, pens, even fence in your yard. If passed this law will make it impossible to hold conformation shows in that state. THIS IS NOT JUST OF INTEREST TO EXHIBITORS AND BREEDERS. Anyone who owns a pet will be victimized by this law. PAY ATTENTION PEOPLE. YOUR GOVERNMENT IS CHIPPING AWAY AT YOUR RIGHTS AT A TERRIFYING RATE. Contact the governor's office in RI and politely express your concern about this law. Monitor the AKC web site for extreme legislation being promoted nationwide, largely courtesy of PETA and HSUS who have no respect for human-animal bonding. |

Wow... the things the government is getting involved in lately... It's getting ridiculous! |
I read the bill in its entirety. It is aimed at stopping people from tethering their dog outdoors or keeping the dog staked to a tree for days on end. The preamble of the law states: This act would provide guidelines and penalties for any person that keeps a dog outside tethered, penned, caged, fenced or otherwise confined without adequate shelter from the elements and would add definitions of “proper food,” “proper water” and “proper veterinary care” to the chapter on cruelty to animals." The bill states it is unlawful to -- "Keep any dog tethered for more than ten (10) hours during a twenty-four (24) hour period or keep any dog confined in a pen, cage or other outdoor housing structure for more than fourteen (14) hours during any twenty-four (24) hour period." If one isn't keeping their dog tethered outside for more than 10 hours during a 24 hour period (and the definition of tether does not include walks on a leash) or if one isn't keeping their dog outside in a pen, cage or other structure for more than 14 hours in a 24 hour period then they are not violating the law. |
