Rejected petition Make Leaving A Dog Unattended In a Vehicle A Criminal Offence
Make it illegal for dog's to be left unattended in vehicles. The facts are simple! Dogs die a slow and painful death when left in cars/vans unattended.
It does not matter if the window is left open a few inches, or, you'll just be a minute. DOGS DIE DUE TO HUMAN NEGLIGENCE!
THERE ARE NO EXCUSES!!!
More details
Every year, dogs suffer and die when their guardians make the mistake of leaving them in a parked car—even for “just a minute”—while they run an errand. Parked cars are deathtraps for dogs: On a 78-degree day, the temperature inside a parked car can soar to 100 degrees in just minutes, and on a 90-degree day, the interior temperature can reach as high as 109 degrees in less than 10 minutes.
DOGS DIE DUE TO HUMAN NEGLIGENCE!
