| 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.

| yes, done Please, people, don't wait for the dog catcher to come knocking on your door to take an interest in these things. Right now they're after our dogs, and they're having a huge success. What will be the next reason the government uses to barge into your home? I lived this nightmare home invasion one would associate with 3rd world dictatorship countries, or the old communist regimes of the Soviet era. Laws like this don't belong in the USA. These laws are giving dog catchers incredible power to enter your home and dispose of your animals without due process. Call or email the RI governor's office and ask him to veto this bill. Are you kidding me? They want to jail people for crating their dogs!!!

| 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.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Good, it sounds like a great law. I hope small breeders will see how they are being used by commercial breeders, who this law WILL affect, in passing propaganda. This is one of the reasons; it’s hard to pass laws that will put puppy millers out of business.
