I agree with you. I regularly take my chihuahuas places, and have little "child seats" for them that live in the back of my car.
However, I also own a greyhound, and I have been trying for YEARS to find a harness/seat belt that would work for her. I have called/emailed multiple companies that make these products tell me that it's not feasible or possible to make a seat belt for a greyhound (or any sighthounds, really) because of how they're built (no chest to speak of, just legs). We also don't own a car to fit a crate big enough for her.
I don't think I'm alone in this predicament as well.
I mean, I definitely get the sentiment, and I do think we as a society should move towards safer dog-transport practices, but I also think this is an overreach.
I'm always willing to hear other counter-arguments though

Dogs can't do risk assessment.

Awww man. Let it be my headcanon. Then I can go around telling people that my family used to get children high by ritualistic consumption of opiods.

In my opinion yes, because the animals can't make the decision for themselves. If it was for people then I'd probably say let them be responsible for themselves.

The weird placement of the grandma’s place of origin in that headline confused me for a couple reads thinking
What’s a DC grandma, Edison’s version of the AC grandma?

The one who had undocumented meetings with Russia's foreign minister while he was Prime Minister and took large Russian donations to campaign funds?
The one who's party is still preventing the release of the report into Russian funding for the UK's exit of the EU.
Who's paying for his campaign this time, Pravda.com.us?

That’s actually not a bad law. I had a dog jump out of a passenger side window from a passing vehicle on a county highway. It came sound the back of its owners car and right underneath my SUV. Caused over $5000 damage to my vehicle, and the dog likely died a painful death. I was devastated.

I found the actual text of the bill concerning restraining/supervising a dog in the car which everyone is freaking out over:
- A dog being transported in a motor vehicle on a public roadway must be: (a) Secured in a crate that is an appropriate size for the dog; (b) Restrained safely with a harness or pet seat belt, other than a neck restraint, designed for use in a motor vehicle; or (c) Under the physical control of a person other than the operator of the motor vehicle.
So you only need a non-driver to supervise the dog if it’s not in a harness or crate

This works for small dogs and cats. I have a Great Pyrenees; this is next to impossible.
