What the petition asks
Leaving pets unaccompanied tied up out of shops and buildings can be distressing for the animal and potentially lead to pet theft, if unaccompanied for a long time.
On numerous occasions I have witnessed dogs tied up outside of betting shops, supermarkets and convenience stores in clear distress. Barking, shaking and crying. If this was a child it would be deemed unacceptable so why is it acceptable for pets (puppies and adults) to be tied up whilst careless owners do as they like.
