Buckling Up Pets: Should State Decide?

Yesterday, Assemblywoman Grace Spencer (D-Essex), proposed a new law mandating specially designed seat harnesses for pets riding in vehicles, an idea she says came from talking to fourth grade students. This isn?t exactly a new idea in the Garden State. Earlier this summer, the state legislature passed a law that made it an animal cruelty offense to ride with pets loose in a vehicle, the first such state law in the U.S. However, that law is apparently too vague and does not mandate that the pet actually be placed in the equivalent of a seat belt.
Since the only ?pet? I have ever transported (aside from goldfish in plastic bags) was a horse who rode behind my vehicle in its own trailer, I?m asking those who own and frequently take their dogs and cats in the car: do we file this under the heading unnecessary legislation and shouldn?t our elected officials be doing something more important or does it fit in the category of it?s about time this is exactly what our beloved pets deserve? Discuss.
