Laws of certain states have been pushing dog owners from chaining their pets. Thirteen states have already passed laws restricting the amount of time a dog can be chained, and further require that the dog be given shelter and minimum length of chain. Illinois' state legislature may take the chaining laws a step further and require that a dog not be chained or tethered away from it's owners eyesight.
Dogs that are chained for long periods of time often become forgotten, malnourished, or pest-ridden. They also become frustrated by their time alone and inability to move and run. These dogs are also more likely to injure themselves or choke from the chain.
