Tennessee: Senate tethering bill -- Call NOW!

Tennessee

The Senate version of the tethering bill, SB 1689 http://wapp.capitol.tn.gov/apps/Bil...lNumber=SB1689, is scheduled to be heard in the Judiciary Committee tomorrow afternoon (Tuesday, April 3). This bill is just as problematic as its House counterpart. Please call or e-mail the members of the committee to ask them to veto this bill.

We have heard that there is an amendment for the House version of the bill but it's still not adequate to make this proposed tethering law acceptable. Anyone convicted under this law could have their animals seized and turned over to a shelter and be prevented from owning animals in the future.

Please make these calls!

Tethering bill update

Tennessee

Thank you to everyone who called/e-mailed committee members about SB 1689, the tethering bill. This bill FAILED in committee today. We believe this bill was foolish and unenforceable, encouraging vigilantes to get out during flooding and tornado weather to accost animal owners about their animals when people should be home for safety reasons. Thanks to the committee members who voted against the bill. There are tethering bills in many states this year. We urge you to read them carefully and consider if any of them are really needed. Most states already have statutes that cover the things in these bills.
