A holding device e.g. for releasably tethering an animal, which has a tubular form through which a rope 9 secured to the animal, is passed and by virtue of a slit 2 and opening 3 in the wall thereof it will hold the rope securely until such time as a predetermined load is exerted on the rope by the animal at which time the rope will release from the device and become free and thus at the same time the tethered animal will also be free from the tether. The facility afforded by this device to enable the animal to self-release at a predetermined load may avoid the injury or damage to animal or tack (head collars or the like) that often occurs when a non-releasable tethering device is used. <IMAGE> |
