A new bill in Florida<\/a> could lead to a ban on dogs<\/a> sticking their head out of car<\/a> windows.\u00a0<\/p>\n According to Fox\u00a013 Tampa Bay<\/a>, the bill, which was introduced by\u00a0state Sen. Lauren Book last week, would prohibit\u00a0a dog from extending \u201cany other body part outside a motor vehicle window while the person is operating the motor vehicle on a public roadway,\u201d and forbid\u00a0drivers \u201cfrom holding a dog in his or her lap.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n A dog would either need to ride inside\u00a0a crate while the vehicle is in motion, secured\u00a0with\u00a0a harness or seat belt, or remain under the supervision of\u00a0someone other than the driver.\u00a0<\/p>\n Sen. Book argues\u00a0the bill is primarily focused on the welfare of dogs by protecting them against the outdoor elements and preventing them from escaping.\u00a0<\/p>\n Others, such as\u00a0Brittany Livingston of Florida Voices for Animals, believe this bill will address one potential aspect pertaining to distracted drivers.\u00a0\u201cHaving a companion animal in your lap or with their head out the window, now you\u2019re having to focus on that, you know, what\u2019s happening in front of you as opposed to paying attention to your actual surroundings and being the safest driver that you possibly can be,\u201d Livingston said.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n If the bill passes, drivers who violate this law will be issued a moving violation.\u00a0<\/p>\n The bill also proposes a ban on cosmetic testing using\u00a0animals on\u00a0products intended for humans, as well as prohibiting the declawing of cats, which carries a $1,000 fine and possible loss of ownership.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A new bill in Florida could lead to a ban on dogs sticking their head out of car windows.\u00a0 According to Fox\u00a013 Tampa Bay, the bill, which was introduced by\u00a0state Sen.
