If you get caught with an unrestrained child while driving you can get a $50 fine. If you're caught with an unrestrained pet the fine can be ether $200 or even as high as $1000.
Looks like Bruiser is gonna be stuck in a child-seat whether he likes it or not.
Advocates for the new law say that 100,000 dogs are killed per year by falling or by being thrown out of moving vehicles. Owners will be charged with animal cruelty and fined. So the days of flapping gums and saliva flying out a passenger window are over. The law doesn't care how fun this is for pets. As a matter of fact, it may seem like a form of punishment to them.
Honestly........don't these people have better things to do?
How about working up a jobs plan, or maybe working on balancing the budget. Why is this all of the sudden a world changing issue?
Personally I think this is Nanny-state BS gone to the dogs.
If you want to find out about animal restraints that are governmentally approved go here. Canine Auto - Canine Auto.
I think this law is gonna eventually bite someone in the ass. Literally......
