My name is Valerie Gray, I am starting this petition because I have personally seen the horrors of dogs who spend their entire lives on a chain, Most to be completely forgotten, with no adequate food, water, shelter, or the soft touch of a human hand, Many who have been on a chain so long that their collar has embedded into their necks. Sadly enough, if any of these dogs are lucky enough to be noticed, for many it will be too late, as many are too starved or too sick or because lack of human contact are too scared to let someone love them and can not be adopted out. It is a sad, cruel way to live and must be stopped.
