Closed Make it a criminal offence to leave animals in hot cars

Closed on

Being extremely passionate about animal cruelty particularly dogs, I have seen an increase especially in this hot weather of dogs being left in cars, dogs being rescued by the police , almost dead, owners need to be punished.

I want to be the voice of our canine friends and make sure there is a consequence for leaving them in cars on hot days. I own a dog groomers and pet shop, owning 5 dogs myself I wouldn't even put my dog or any dog under a dryer in this weather. It's heart-breaking to see these poor animals suffering when left in cars and some dying. Owners need to suffer the consequence of being an irresponsible dog owner one way or another.
