Here in Jefferson County, Kentucky we have some pretty good laws, some of which were revised or added to the latest update of the Animal Ordinance, to protect animals and in some cases give them a better life. However, it drives me crazy(er) for people to get a dog and stick them all the way in the backyard in a pen, provide them with food, water & shelter and that's it! For instance, the people who live behind me across a drainage ditch, got a Husky pup. They had a cocker spaniel before that was taken away by Animal Services because he was chained constantly and so much fur matted & caked with mud that he could barely walk. So now they have this Husky which they kept in a crate in the house for a while and now he is in a pen about 8'x10' with a dog house. Oh, how he wants to run and have human companionship! Recently they put him on a long chain to the pen so he can move around and even run a little bit. It is against the Animal Ordinance to keep a dog chained for more than 1 hour at a time, BUT - if I called to report this, Husky would be put back in the pen all the time and could have no fun at all. He is clearly more content on the chain and I'm quite sure if Husky was asked which of the two lives he had to live, he would choose being chained. He is only about 8 months old and you can imagine how much he wants to play and be with people. He doesn't even have any toys. The backyard is large and fenced, but the gate is missing and the people just don't want him to have access to the whole yard?!?. I know things could be worse for him, but I wish there could be laws that prohibit people from having animals if they don't want to provide them with the "pursuit of happiness".
