Nevada passes anti-tethering law
July 16, 2009 - 9:00 pm
In May, Nevada joined the list of states that have enacted limitations or put regulations on how and when dogs are tied to a rope, chain or cable, as well as limitations on confining dogs to small pens. Best Friends, a national animal welfare organization, sent an expert to testify before the Nevada Legislature in support of Senate Bill 132. The bill was originally introduced by State Sen. Randolph Townsend. Break the Chain of Nevada and the Animal Law Coalition helped draft the bill.
