Scott Wiener and canine constituent San Francisco Supervisor Scott Wiener just introduced legislation to repeal what he terms antiquated provisions in the city's Police Code. Among the laws he thinks have outlived their usefulness: the one that currently prohibits anyone from tying a dog to a street tree or a street light.

The SPCA believes that a majority of puppies purchased online and shippped to their new owners are raised in similar conditions.  In a recent survey, 18 percent of respondents said they got  their pet online, while  38 percent had their puppy shipped to them. The SPCA estimates that 30 percent of puppies up for adoption originated in puppy mills.
