The Anderson County Council finally folded and the chaining ban is officially law. These animals will never again rot on a tether because we refused to accept their cruelty. Keep your eyes open to ensure they actually enforce this win.

Chaining dogs should be illegal, simply because it is inhumane and a threat to the safety of the confined dog, other animals and humans! They get lonely and crave for human affection while exposed to extreme weather conditions. Pictured below are chained dogs that I have encountered in the County of Anderson, South Carolina long before I knew anything about animal rescue, laws or that I could possibly change it. All I knew was, these were innocent animals and they deserved so much more than a life on a chain.

Anderson County officials are ignoring the suffering of these dogs because they think we will get tired and give up. We are almost at one hundred signatures so stop scrolling and blast this link to everyone you know to force them to pay attention.

What can we do to protect animals from either being chained or kept in a small chain link fence with no shelter??

this is so cruel dogs die of overheating in hot weather. Their necks have almost caused decapitation. It must be banned completely.

This is no way for a dog to live. Their lives are dreary to the end. They deserve better than to be kept at the end of a top for their whole lives

I don't want chaining anywhere! These poor babies in the hot sun and the cold of winter. NO BEING SHOULD EVER HAVE TO SUFFER THROUGH THAT!

Why do people own dogs then chain them up a dog is for life and a wonderful companion and friend who asks for nothing more than to be fed and loved is that to much to ask for and look what you get in return loved for life

Don’t need a dig if it had to be chained.

It's criminal that this is not a law already.
