Slime Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I'm pretty sure it's not a political issue, so it should be able to stay, right? "Ottawa Police say the investigation into why a one-month old child was left in a locked, hot car for nearly an hour on the weekend by its parents is not closed." http://www.ottawasun.com/2011/07/19/cops-s...ot-car-incident Thankfully, I've never seen it myself. I'm also thankful that, unlike in so many other years, THIS news story doesn't feature the death of some kid or pet. Seriously, cars can get hot a LOT faster than you think. Open some windows or turn on that AC if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 The number of times this occurs every summer just underscores how many really f*cking stupid people are in our midst. If I ever see a kid or a pet locked in a hot car on a sweltering day and it's obvious the person responsible is nowhere nearby? I'm calling 911, and then I am busting the car windows. In fact, if it's a pet, I might just take it with me and forego the 911 call, because that person is too much of a dumbass to have pets. Seriously, anyone who thinks, "well, I'll only be in the store for 15 minutes" needs to go sit out in their car in an asphalt lot with windows up (or maybe just barely cracked) with no AC and no water. They won't last 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khan Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I will absolutely PUMMEL anyone I see locking an animal in a hot car. That just drives me absolutely bat shit and I will not stand for it. As far as I'm concerned they can go to jail for 20 years... stupid redneck ass clowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people seem to leave their sanity at home when it comes to something like this. In the UK, some police dog handler let two of his dogs roast to death in his car - not just once, but twice, I believe (two separate occasions). Made me cry. And children left in cars upset me too! Why? Why do they do it? Makes me mad as hell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a beagle in a hot car, I'm calling the cops. A kid's another story. I'll say this though: Growing up non-white with non-white friends in a redneck part of the U.S. made us somewhat of a bigger target than other groups of kids. And being questioned or eyeballed for nothing was kind of a regular occurrence. So you could say that I kind of grew up trying not to draw as much attention as possible to myself. Kicking in a car window and explaining that I was trying to save a dog just won't be believed by some cops is all I'm saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobodys hero Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Some dumb ass got arrested yesterday for having 15 dogs, 2 cats and 4 pygmy goats in the back of a rental truck. The temperature was 106 in the truck. Animal control took the animals and are treating them for dehydration and heat exhaustion. Shit like this REALLY pisses me off!!!

Tarkus406 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 If I ever see an animal locked in a hot car I'm definately calling the cops and reporting it to the store (assuming it's a store lot). Seeing a child in a locked car would anger me many times more, though. Not only would I call the cops but I would have to find a way to get that child some relief, even if it means breaking the window to give him/her some water while waiting for the cops and/or parents. There are certain things I have no tolerance for, and cooking children is one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 of the 7 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I won't even leave my cats home alone with the A/C off if it gets as hot as it did this week. We aren't supposed to leave any appliances on if no one's home, and I could get in deep s*** if the complex finds out I'm doing it, but I don't care. I'm not letting my cats (both up there in age, one long-haired) roast in the heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowItIs Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Growing up in Las Vegas, I saw this done with pets a lot. Any time I did, I called the police immediately and waited for them. Like the rest of you, this makes me so angry I can't see straight. Break windows? F$#k yes I would if necessary. This makes me feel like.... http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd103/laserspray/internet%20stuff/6animated93.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TullSkull Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 and again yesterday at work.. Stupid People. I'd like to do to him what he did to his dog. I work parking enforcement at the Albertsons here and yesterday this guy parks his truck in the Handi-cap parking (with sticker) and leaves his big black lab in the back of the pick-up in the hot sun and NO water. After about 25 minutes that dog was frying in that bed so I got a bowl and some water and took it to him, he drank a lot of it, then I soaked his coat, he was happy. When the fools came out I just watched and it was funny watching him look around trying to figure out how the dog got all wet.. You Dumb Ass... Could of done like another guy and leave the dog in the cab with the air conditioner on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
