Petition Make Leaving A Pet Dog Unattended In a Vehicle A Criminal Offence

Every day we see dog owners leaving their pet dogs unattended in motor vehicles. Dogs DIE very quickly when left in vehicles - in all seasons.

Sadly for many dog owners it is too late – they return to their vehicle to find their beloved dog is DEAD!!!

More details

For a dog to die a death from hyperthermia while locked in car is painful and very traumatic – including the agony of repeated seizures prior to death….while the owner ‘JUST’ wanted to do some shopping!

Let’s make it law that the attending Police / Fire officers MUST break into the vehicle and release the poor dog from dying.

The Dog’s owner must be prosecuted for criminal abuse & endangering death by deliberate & wanton neglect.
