If such an establishment, which frequently euthanizes animals, considers being tied outside an unacceptable means of caretaking, then I suspect there is no argument for it. To be clearer: If even the butcher isn't happy with how the animal got there, there must be something seriously wrong with the process.
---------------
If you leave it tied outside for long periods of time (esp. with little space, food, shelter and water or in unpleasant weather) it is definitely animal abuse. Leaving a dog tied up for long periods of time causes stress and boredom in the animals. It also leaves them more exposed to fleas, insect bites, abuse from other people, and unpleasant weather conditions. Also, leashes can cause blisters and sores around the dog's neck to loosen it up a bit or even better yet, get a fence.
However, if you must leave your dog our, provide it with a lot of space (depending on your dog's energy levels and size), food, fresh water, and a good shelter. Try to get a fence and skip the leash too if possible. And even if you do all of that, make sure to bring your dog in regularly to clean him, provide him with affection and exercise your dog on a daily basis (to reduce stress and boredom and bond better with your dog).
My suggestion is taking your dog to an "animal daycare"if you still plan on leaving it tied up outside for long periods of time because of whatever reason.

YES. It absolutely is abuse. If someone were to tie a human child up, even if they were provided with food, water and shelter, it would be considered abuse. Why then, do we have a double standard when it comes to our four-legged companions?
It is better to have a fenced in area that the dog can roam in. At the minimum a dog run. A dog run consists of a cable that is strung between two tall objects. On this cable is a runner that attaches to the dog. This lets the dog run in a greater area then the basic rope attached to spike in the ground setup.
----------------------------
It absolutely IS abuse. Just because they are not human does not mean they don't feel pain and suffering. Their bodies are much like ours. Dogs are pack animals, and crave to be within their packs. The very fact that people think they can justify this by saying they're not human is the most, uneducated thing I've ever heard. Humans are astounding in their sheer lack of knowledge. If you want the official opinion on it, according to the Humane Society of the United States, it is abuse.
If it's hailing, the wind is whipping, and it's really close to the road, I think it is. If it's a warm day, it has water, and it only stays out for no more than an hour at a time, it should be alright.
---------------------------
Though it is not good for a dog to be tied up all the time and its quality of life could be better, it is not abuse! If you want to do anything about that dog's quality of life, do what I did when my neighbors had their dog tied all the time: Go over to that dog and give it love and attention! Offer to take the dog for walks or take it a treat (with the owner's permission, of course). Do something positive instead of reporting a situation you personally disapprove of.

A dog loves to run, jump, and have fun but when you tie it up to a tree all day you're taking that away.
-----------------------------------------------
In the eyes of the law, no its not abuse as long as the dog has adequate shelter, food, and water. Now in my eyes personally I do feel this is cruel and should be considered abuse. As was previously stated dogs are pack animals and NEED attention from their pack.
Unlike cats who can be quite happy on their own, dogs are inbred to be with others
of their kind. In the company of someone caring for them dogs are great animals
and should be provided the essentials of life just like raising a child.

What are the types of animal abuse?
"What are the major types of animal abuse?" you say. Animal abuse is when you torture or hurt the animal in any way. Some types of animal abuse is... (this is only some of many thousands) 1) Putting your animal in a running washing machine 2) Hitting the animal with stones 3) Putting the animal in the fridge and attempting to freeze it to death 4) If you have a horse, one way of abuse is forcing on an overcoat in summer 5) Deliberately letting your animal fight another whom is bigger Animal abuse, so much like child abuse, don't you think? Why do I know so much about this? Beacase nowadays, people are abusing and hitting animals for fun pleasure and entertainment. And now I say to you now: DO NOT BE ONE OF THEM!!!Hurting animals in that way is cruel and brutal. I also advise you to never ever blow on your dogs ear or leave a bulldog tied up in summer. Bulldogs can die of high temperatures and blowing on your dogs ear could effect its hearing and could even lead to deafness. Animals are just as equal as us, they don't deserve abuse! After all, aren't we animals too? And so I leave you today with something to think about. Just remember do not be one of those horrible people! Well, there 3 diffrent types of animal abusers. 1. The kind that does it for fun like kicking or hitting the animal for no reason. 2. The kind that just kind of blacks out and during the black out they abuse there animals. When they come back to consciousness they feel very bad for what they did but they never give up the pet and they keep blacking out and hurting the animal. 3. The kid who takes there anger out on the animal for example a boy gets in trouble by his parents and he can't go hit his parents so he hits the animal. Now the mager types of abuse are throwing bricks at the animal, shooting them with a gun, not taking proper care of the animal, starving the animal, and setting them on fire. I thought I'd through a couple mor facts about animal abuse in there for you incase you were intrested. Hope this helped!
