Saw this on the yahoo website and was wondering what folks in NJ think of this?

It wouldn't surprise me to see that gain traction - they passed a law out here to have people tether their dogs in the beds of trucks so they wouldn't jump out.

I some how don't see my mastiff liking the seat belt too much she takes up the hole back seat with just her.

There's been a bunch of news coverage on this law. Basically, they are fine if the animal is in the back seat. They're more concerned w/ animals on laps or hanging out the window.

I wish some people would tether their children in public.

People do tether their kids in public, with those stupid harnesses. Those things drive me crazy, it's like their kids are dogs!
