Why do people do that? People tie their dogs for various reasons. Most people who do this are not aware of the damage that can cause to their dogs.
The state of Texas has good news and I hope all states will be aware of the coming months. Thank you, Texas! A bill that would criminalize tying a dog and not providing adequate shelter is about to be allowed.
According to the Houston Chronicle, a package of bills that get through the Texas legislature can help stop the inhumane treatment of dogs across the state,

"Senate Bill 295 would criminalize homeowners if they illegally prevented their dogs from staying with chains and did not provide adequate shelter for their animals." This bill was recently passed by the government. Texas Senate, according to Fox 26.SB 295, also known as the "Adequate Housing and Retention Bill", describes a suitable shelter as "a clean and solid shelter that provides protection from rain, rain, snow and frost." ". The container must be large enough for a dog to stand up, sit, turn and lie down in a normal position, by invoice. "Once the bill is authorized, property owners called to commit offenses can be charged with a class C offense. We left the highlights of the bill.
Tying dogs, chaining them and keeping them in one place for long periods of time is inhumane. This gives impetus to aggressive behavior, and we have all seen excessive barking in the fenced yard! No dog should be tired towards the end of a chain.
The extreme heat can literally kill them without proper shelter. Dogs are social animals, which can cause psychological damage. If the Tethering Act is passed, it is hoped that this will also affect the number of dogs that end up in animal welfare. Pet owners should be responsible for the well-being of their dog. This includes proper veterinary care for our companions.
