  1. Hi Tobi
    That is a good start but we need to strengthen animal welfare laws to explicitly prohibit cruel practices like chaining animals in tight spaces, neglect (starvation) and physical abuse is crutial!

    ●Ban on chaining & confinement to spaces that prevent natural movement!
    ●Define legal minimum enclosure depending on animal size!
    ●Require proper food, water, veterinary care & protection from extreme weather!
    ●Enforce fines, confiscation of animals and jail time for repeated offenders or severe abuse!
    ●Encourage public reporting with hotline and online systems!
    ●Train law enforcement and animal control officers to recognise & act on violations!
    ●Teach humane treatment in schools and communities, while promoting alternatives to fencing over chaining!
    ■Push for local ordinance, where city & country level laws lag!
    ■Support animal welfare organisations lobbying for stricter laws!
    ■Document abuse!

    No animal should suffer in silence 😽
