Joan Rivers Supports NYC Law Against Prolonged Dog Chaining
Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, December 21st, 2010 in Actresses, Animal Issues, Politicians.
Joan Rivers has written to New York city council member Christine C. Queen, urging the passage of a law proposed by councilman Peter Vallone, Jr. that would forbid keeping a dog chained for more than three hours during a 12 hour period.
“I hope this Tethering Bill passes not just for the sake of the poor dogs tied up outside in the cold, but for the sake of the sons of bitches* who do this—because what I’d do to the creeps would be far worse than what any police officer would do!” Rivers wrote in the letter.
Almost four years ago, Vallone called for this type of measure, saying, “There’s no reason to have your dogs chained up for more than three hours. They become more aggressive, they bite more, they’re nervous, and they’re scared.”
