Dog's and Leashes
The
Top 10 Reasons to keep your Dog on a Leash:
1.) Last year, over 6,000 dogs per year in New Jersey alone,
were killed by cars. The number of LEASHED dogs killed, was ZERO!
2.) Unleashed dogs drink contaminated water or poisons and
become dangerously sick and/or die.
3.) Unleashed dogs cause over 1,500 car accidents as well
as fatalities per year. Drivers try to avoid hitting a loose dog
and end up paying the price simply because the dog has an irresponsible
owner.
4.) Dogs get stolen! - Yes, even in your backyard. Isn't
your dog's life worth it to keep him/her safe?
5.) Unleashed dogs eliminate at will, causing a mess in neighborhoods,
a health hazard, and even lead to heavy fines to the owners. * If
a dog is not dewormed completely, parasitic worm eggs can be transmitted
from feces to humans causing blindness. The later is common with
small children.
6.) Loose dogs get into fights with dogs and other animals
and can get injured. Raccoons carry the rabies virus and transmit
it to dogs.
7.) People can get bit by loose dogs. Lawsuits could arise
from your dog biting someone and may require that your dog be euthanized.
Evan if your dog was provoked to bite.
8.) Dogs are not born to "run free". That is a myth. They
are very happy to walk on a leash with their best friend - you!
9.) Loose dogs give dogs a bad name. Every dog allowed off
leash is another piece of evidence for those citizens who prefer
that dogs be banned from all public places and even houses.
10.) The leash was invented centuries ago. It's there for
a reason - use it!
