Miami-Dade County, in Florida, has passed a law that now makes it a crime for owners to leave their pets chained when they are not present. The law, which is an amendment to Chapter V of the Miami-Dade County Code, will go into effect in April.Pet owners will be warned for the first violation. For the second violation, the owners will face civil penalties of $100 for cruelty and $500 for additional offenses.
This is very, very good news. How can it spread to Broward? I am sick of seeing dogs suffering and no matter how much I call for help, nothing is done!
