Vote "YES" to Anti-tethering and Safe Transportation for Companion Animals in Macon, Georgia
Target:
Animal Lovers
Sponsored by:
On Tuesday, February 19, 2008, Macon's City Council will vote either for or against new ordinances that would outlaw long-term tethering of dogs and letting dogs roam freely in the back of uncovered pickup trucks while moving or parked.
Macon currently has many dogs living on chains with little or no shelter. Many do not have access to clean water and are not properly fed. They are often forgotten about by their caregiver and are left in unimaginable conditions. They simply have no quality of life. Macon's Animal Control director would like to use this ordinance to really crack down on dog fighting in Macon. Many fighting pit bulls are kept on short chains and are only allowed off for fighting.
The safe transportation ordinance would prevent dogs in the Macon area from falling from moving or parked vehicles, causing serious injury or death. The ordinance would also protect citizens from the threat of a dog in the bed of a parked truck in public places.
Please sign this petition today so that it can be a strong statement in support of these ordinances. The petition will be presented to council members on Tuesday to help influence their decision.

I get so angry every time I see a poor dog tethered to an area of obviously well worn out grass/mud - that has obviously not been loved or cared for. And when I see a dog in the back of a truck it infuriates me!! Dogs so easy can fall/jump off the back and get run over, killed or maimed in the process. This is just stupid. If people don't have the common sense to not treat their dogs properly- they should be taken away- and charged for the care of the dog at a respectable and licensed shelter until they can place the dog in a new and loving home.

The small city I live in adopted a "no tether" ordinance about a year ago. In my opinion it's one of the smartest things they have ever done.
