Where I moved from it was illegal to transport an unrestrained live animal in the back of a pickup truck.
My first trip to Hawaii I saw somebody doing it with their kids, and I thought, oh boy, that's got to be a spendy ticket!
Then I moved here and found out it wasn't.
Similarly, when I was in my previous line of work, people would call in animal abuse complaints and then try to blame me personally because frequently, there was nothing I could do but give the perp a stern talking to. I was also allowed to wag my finger. I'd try to explain to the complainant, it's legal in this state to beat your children- up to a point. The same goes for animals.
At the end of the day, despite all the humane laws, domestic animals are property.
