Dozens of animal rights advocates in Clinton County were denied the opportunity to speak in favor of a dog tethering law during a legislature meeting, despite ongoing support for the cause since February 2024. Chairman Mark Henry rejected their testimony, citing a lack of legislation on the matter, but the advocates continued to express frustration over the lack of transparency and accountability in the legislative process. Legislator Bobby Hall, a supporter of the tether law, voiced his disapproval of the decision and promised to continue working toward securing a public hearing for the proposed law.
