On Thursday a video showing a man driving down I-95 with his dog attached by only one chain to the top of the crate. The dogs terrified as it has to continuously change position to keep it's balance.as a pet owner i can not understand why someone would put their animals life at risk like this.
The video was posted on Facebook and since then has spread all around the internet.The man was question and the police will do a wellness check of the animals. However because the dog was restrained by only one chain the man broke the law, the minim being two restraints. It is reported that the man seems to be cooperating with the police.
The man says that the dog is used for hunting. Most people who are hunters say that it's not uncommon for a dog to be transported this way. I want to know why. It seems like the least safe situation you could put the dog in. The worst part there are many more reports of similar situations.
It is legal for the dog ride out side of the cage, and the owner has claimed that the dog prefers to be out of it. However this opens the question of should the law be looked at and are the dog really safe outside of a crate. The man was driving at least seventy miles down I-95. Personally I feel it should not be allowed.
