Imagine if you were chained to a tree... a week... a month... a year. No one to play with, no long runs in the park or balls to chase. You live through the rain and snow in the winter and the hot, humid sun in the summer. You may even be forgotten

Some info from the website: unchainyourdog.org
========================================
Dogs are pack animals. In the wild, canines live, eat, and sleep with their family. In the absence of dogs, humans become their "pack." A chained dog feels rejected and doesn't understand why.

Imagine being chained to a tree year after year. You watch the door hoping someone will come play. No one ever does. You long to run, but you can only pace. You shiver in winter and pant in summer. Eventually, you stop barking. You have given up hope.

We have many forms of entertainment: movies, music, friends. Your dog only has YOU. If you can't give a dog a good life, should you have one?

It is up to caring people like you to improve the lives of chained dogs. Some think, "It's none of my business." But it is the business of compassionate people to speak up when living creatures are treated like objects. You will feel good about yourself for helping a chained dog!

I can't stand people who chain their animals, leaving them without companionship ,never paying them any attention. They need love shelter, they do not deserve it. It is also not save if stray animals come around ,they can't defend them selves. Signed, thank-you you for caring so deeply too Cher.

Thanxx... this is horrible, I'd hate to be locked up day and night... Chianing must be banned and animals should be fencd in a big garden instead.

Why have a pet dog and just keep him chained up?
