Rejected petition Fine owners of dogs left in hot cars. This money can then go to animal charities

After this heatwave in the Uk I am astounded and appauled by the amount of stories I read daily, about dog owners who leave their poor dog in hot cars.
There is so much information about this on social media, with many sad stories where people’s dogs have died. Let’s protect these animals

More details

The RSPCA have repeatedly warned about these dangers, as have police. Stories are on local news sites and there are even videos of vets who have put themselves in this situation to show the dangers.
If these owners were fined we could put this money to good use and support animal charities all over the country.
