Please help fight a tethering ban in York County, SC.

We are worried about a tethering ban.

Please Call Curwood Chappell at his home number (803) 324-1062. He values calls from people. Tell him that responsible tethering techniques and our current Animal Control ordinance both require a collar to protect a dog from the chain growing into their neck. As a responsible pet owner I consider this to be a type of abuse and wish the fines could be higher on such abuse. Irresponsible people buy a pup. Put a small collar on it and as the pup grows it the collar doesn’t. This could occur with a trolley system same as it does on a chain, both use a collar to help with containment. Tell him we believe in responsible pet ownership and feel that tethering is a tool in containing your dog to your property. Tell them Please do not punish responsible pet owners for irresponsible peoples actions.
