Dogs traveling in motor vehicles.... would need to be secured in a size-appropriate crate and in a harness or pet seat belt, and be under supervision from someone other than the driver, the bill says.

So single people can't take their dog to the vet?

The reporter read it wrong, the dog only needs supervision by a non-driver if they aren’t in a harness or crate

Sounds like the supervision is only needed if using pet seat belt rather than size appropriate crate+harness

I disagree. The wording breaks down to A or B, and C. That comma indicates that it's one of the first two clauses AND the third clause. Of course, that's the problem with using this kind of language and not having it broken into sections so that it's clear what's meant.

Realistically, this is going to be used to selectively enforce yet another BS law that disproportionately affects the lower socioeconomic strata. Look like you might be <insert whatever exploitable demographic officer dickhead picks today>, "I'm sorry ma'am, your pet isn't be appropriately supervised by anyone other than the driver."

If the penalty for a crime is a fine, then the law only applies to the poor. So do laws like this that force people to buy things. Don't be such an entitled twat 🤦‍♀️

Hi Twat! You can call around to find a donated dog carrier bc I got one from the SPCA 2 years ago for my neighbor’s Jack Russell. Oh wait - the blood left your brain way back when. It’s ok……I won’t judge you for being a TWAT - just like you stated to me.

Poor little baby…..it’s ok…..😂
