Explanation
In addition to being dangerous for the animal, having an unsecured animal in the back of a pickup truck can also be a hazard for other drivers on the road. Animals that are not properly secured can easily fall, jump, or be thrown from the vehicle, causing a collision or other dangerous situation. For these reasons, it is illegal and unsafe to transport animals in the back of a pickup truck unless they are properly secured.
