PETA urges Dayton to ban chaining animals outside

Advertisements [?]

DAYTON, Ohio — A national animal rights group is urging the city to ban or limit how long residents can keep their pets tied up outside.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wrote Mayor Rhine McLin about the proposal after a dog was found dead in the backyard of a Dayton residence. Another dog rescued from the same property was found frozen to the ground but is recovering.

Two residents of the house, where 12 cats also were found dead inside, have pleaded innocent to charges of animal cruelty.

About 80 U.S. municipalities have either banned tethering or restricted the practice, according to PETA's Web site.
