“We’ve actually scientifically proven that tethers are dangerous. They actually increase the risk of injury. Essentially the pet is launched, and if that tether were to hold (most of them don’t), but if the tether were to hold, the pet is clotheslined, so it actually snaps the spine and increases the risk of injury.”
