Oh yeah, I've seen them cut. My neighbour got a very bad gash behind her knee from her own dog which she allowed to roam to the end of the leash and he wrapped it around her leg. Could have happened with any one inch wide nylon leash I guess but the extra length gave her dog more momentum and he really tangled her up too. And some of the darn things are like a narrow clothesline wire in size, those can really cut.
Things can happen no matter what a person is doing.Not sure if that warrants having a bylaw and fining people 75 bucks.But am more interested in finding out if other cities have a leash length bylaw.
