CALL TO ACTION! LET'S END DOG CHAINING IN ST. LOUIS COUNTY
Calling all county residents! We need your help! St. Louis County currently has ordinances banning chaining of dogs for more than 10 hours in a row or a total of 12 hours per day. It has been our experience that these laws are not being enforced. We have been working with officials for months trying to resolve this and strengthen the law, but we need all our voices to be heard loud and clear.
Please call your county representative and ask to meet with him or her about improving the law. Specifically, we are hoping for a total ban on chaining, or at the very least a ban from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., and a ban during specific heat/cold indices and severe weather. (Eg., chaining is banned when temperatures/indices exceed 85 degrees or fall below 32 degrees, and during severe weather warnings).
Connie Davie, Joan McKenna or Sandy Lynn will do our utmost to attend the meeting with you if you would like. We can also provide talking points and material you can share with your representative about the importance of anti-chaining legislation and enforcement. It is a matter of humane treatment of animals AND public safety, especially for children.
Below is a list of all the county officials, and a link to the district maps. Please call your representative and let us know when you plan to meet with them. Then please e-mail us at unchainyourdog@gmail.com and daviestl@mindspring.com to confirm, so we can move forward.
We CAN do this if we speak up!!
THANK YOU!
