Stupid irresponsible pet owners!!!!!

[moosmom]

On my way to work, I decided to stop at the Buckland Mall. Didn't find anything so I was in my car on my way out. I see a family of 4 getting out of a car with 3 dogs in it. The temperature outside was 4 degrees!!!!! I drove up to them and said, "You DO realize that it's against the law to leave an animal in a closed car in cold/hot weather." His response was, "They're fine." I said, "Would you leave your kids in your car in such freezing temps???" "Don't talk to me", he said as he walked towards the mall. I told him I was calling the ACO and the police. He was PISSED!!!!! He dragged his whole family back into the car. I'm not sure if he actually took the dogs home or just drove to another parking spot (it's a big parking lot). I told him he was too stupid to live and has no business having animals, let alone kids.

I felt good.

Good for you, Donna! I would have done the same thing! I guess that lowlife figures that being animals they won't freeze, and those poor dogs will be suffering in that cold.

Good job! I don't understand people. Why would they even take the dogs with them to the mall?

Good job!

Good job! I don't understand people. Why would they even take the dogs with them to the mall?

Because Lady enjoys walking around for a few minutes sniffing the sniffs after dad's done shopping?

Because Lady enjoys rides?

I actually think that the dogs would have been fine for a short period of time, unlike in hot weather, and yes, I have waited in the car in cold weather as a kid, and survived fine. Especially with multiple dogs, and not knowing how long they were going to be inside, I wouldn't have been too worried. If they had luggage and were at a train or bus station, yes, but ... I actually don't think we know enough to call them irresponsible at this point.

I usually take my two dogs with me when I shop. They love the ride.
Only time they can't ride along is in hot weather or if it's a winter storm.

As Donna said, it is against the law in many places to leave an animal in a car - no matter the weather.
