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.
