    You should call the cops instead of leaving notes. :wink:

    now they should be left to sit in a hot car without the window cracked and not running for hours, then locked in a jail cell, fined and never be able to adopt or purchase another animal ever again.

    Any time I see this, especially on a hot boiling day, I call the police and have them come and pick the poor thing up. You should not leave a poor little animal, or a child, alone, in a steaming hot vehicle. Ever.

    This is why people should take tests before they can become a parent/pet owner. Pure stupidity.

    Agreed. But make sure they're wearing heavy synthetic fur coats while in the car.

    Sad. I would have called the cops. Hopefully those people never have children.

    The sad thing is that just as many infants are left in cars in the same situation. :frown:

    We don't have a Sheriff's department. I would just call 911.

    Doesn't matter. They cracked the window, but windows down or up, it's still way hotter in the car.

    ok cool...I wondered if the 911 operator would diss me saying it's not a real emergency...

    cause the person could have ran in the gas station to get something real quick...

    people would have to use common sense on these situations...

    I am all about calling the cops if I see an animal in the car. I once had to call on someone who left their infant in the car. It was 102 outside that day - WTF really???

    oh dear. This breaks my heart. How can people be so irresponsible. You can crack open the window by a fairly big margin before most dogs are able to get out of the car. This is just cruel
