Pets are obviously suffering, which is why we need a ban on unattended dog tethering. Safety concernsIt is widely believed by animal welfare experts that leaving a dog tied up unattended poses great risk to both dogs and public safety. Current Windsor bylaws permit dogs to be tied up outside for up to four hours, no matter the weather. There is no justification for leaving an animal chained up alone outdoors, vulnerable and at risk: not for a lifetime in favourable weather, not for an hour in the freezing cold. We need to ban unattended dog tethering across Canada and give our pets the protection they deserve.
