    It says the dog would have to be under the supervision of someone that isnt driving? So both my wife and I would have to take off work to go to the vet?

    Karens are running the state of Florida.

    I don’t live far enough away from them.

    My friends in Florida, you have my sympathy.

    Let’s keep people from from enjoying life, and their little dog too! Da da daa tada da..da ta da ta da..(wheeling away)

    *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?

    Keeping dogs inside the vehicle is the right move, but requiring another person there makes no sense if the dog is harnessed/belted or kennelled.

    As veterinarian… wait, as a guy who read what a veterinarian said when this was posted yesterday – there are some very good arguments for this (all good dog safety concerns)

    Something tells me the dumbass Florida PD would love enforcing though.

    If California did it, many people would post differently.

    I think it’s a reasonable idea. I worry about what happens to dogs in an accident.

    Legislators really getting to the important stuff…/

    >Florida Senate Bill 932, filed by state **Minority Democratic Leader Lauren Book**, says that dogs would not be allowed to stick any part of their bodies out of the window, ride in the driver’s lap or ride on motorcycles.

    Ah, we see who is intent on tackling our nation’s most troubling issues!

    >A new bill has been proposed in Florida that would enact a series of animal protections and guidelines, such as banning cat declawing, animal testing for cosmetics and dogs hanging their heads out of windows.

    The bill overall is filled with a lot of good… and I generally understand the concern for not having the dogs in these places in a vehicle (in the event of an accident you can 100% guarantee the dog isn’t going to make it if they are in these positions).

    I feel like it’s just a “bit” of overreach.

    I also haven’t read the bill entirely but do these restrictions also apply to cats? Because having a cat in your lap, or a window cat bed isn’t exactly “uncommon” for some cat owners while driving to and from the vet or long trips.
