A bill introduced in the Florida Legislature would make it illegal for man’s best friend to stick its head out car windows.
Florida state Sen. Lauren Book, a Democrat, proposed the change in a larger animal welfare bill that also seeks to ban the declawing of cats, create a registry of animal abusers and limit cosmetic testing on animals, according to media reports.
In the bill’s language, drivers would no longer be allowed to let their dog “extend its head or any other body part outside a motor vehicle window while the person is operating the motor vehicle on a public roadway.”
