prohibit the tethering of an unattended dog to any fixed object or running
cable trolley system between the hours of 12 midnight and 6 a.m. and during
weather emergencies. The bill would also prohibit any use of tethers less
than five times the length of the dog. Such violations would be punishable
by as many as 90 days behind bars, as would the use of tethers that
restrict animals from accessing food, water, and shelter. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
