Sadly, in some areas it is legal. In my area, it is and I can't tell you how many dogs I see that are chained up on a tree or chained in the ground onto a 3 - 5ft chain. I will never understand why people get a dog if they chain it all day, all night. If they can't care for the dog properly, they should give it to someone who cares. Dogs who are chained are more likely to bite and be aggressive than any other dog.

In some states it is legal in most it is not.
I would advise that you call your local humane society and ask them, be sure to give every detail you can about the surrounding area.

I had to report someone for doing that and the poor dog was on a 4 foot chain with filthy water and fecices all around it. The humane society went the next day and I temp addopted the dog until I found him a loving home with kids in the Country till day I get pictures and Christmas card.

Sadly to some an animal is just that and considered a part of the family, those people should not have dogs, on the brite side people like us care enough to do something about it.
Please keep us posted
