Talk about an effective way to reduce pet population. I strongly suspect that if we had laws like that here, or even in one state, we'd see the number of dogs being bred dropping off significantly because there'd be fewer & fewer buyers. Maybe that's a hoped-for benefit in Turin. -- Tara |

Maybe that's a hoped-for benefit in Turin. while i don't support anti-crop/dock laws, at least i understand why many people want to see them enacted. what i *don't* understand is this three walks a day law. it makes no sense to me. what happens if the owner can't pay the fine? is there a provision for how long those walks should be? does it take into account the needs of individual dogs? are there things one can do in lieu of walks? there are plenty of dogs who don't get three walks a day who manage to be well exercised and socialized. at the same time, there are plenty of dogs who *do* get three walks a day who aren't sufficiently exercised and socialized. i just can't fathom how such legislation can possibly be helpful. -- shelly http://home.bluemarble.net/~scouvrette http://cat-sidh.blogspot.com/ http://letters-to-esther.blogspot.com/ (updated 4/3/05) |

My dogs don't get three walks a day. They have a yard to play fetch in, though, so I don't think they want me to go to jail over it. -- Paula "Anyway, other people are weird, but sometimes they have candy, so it's best to try to get along with them."

We're still figuring out how to juggle the six-dog walk schedule. You need some sort of polygamous relationship with five other people. Each can walk a dog. |
