I was reading through that headline expecting the dog to be fake.

Come on, "woman rescues fake dog/baby/gnome from locked car on hot day" is a summer staple.

The cause of the heat and severe storms is up for debate. There are many theories about them being natural or the result of human activity. You just really have to wonder, are things like thunderstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes, and tsunamis caused by the ACLU's attack on Christianity or by the Democrats and Liberal's gay marriage agenda?

I was coming out of the gym one hot day when I saw a dog locked in this minivan with the windows rolled up. He was panting so hard and looked worse for wear .Most people end up staying at the gym a good 30 minutes, so I figured this was not an in-and-out affair, so I ended up calling the cops. I waited around to see when the jerk came out. Turns out he was a freaking veterinarian. Blew my farking mind.

Under city ordinances, private citizens do not have the right to break a window or destroy someone else's property to rescue an animal.

Yeah, screw that. I have every right to smash a window to save an animal from certain death. And I'll smash a few extra windows in any car nearby just because AMERICA fark YEAH!!!

After being connected to a series of answering machines for almost 45 minutes I caught on that there is no one around to answer the phones on weekends. That told me how much PETA really gives a damn. And I never sent in another penny. Screw you, PETA. You broke my heart that day.

Um... it's my understanding that unless you live in the middle of nowhere, there's going to be some sort of wildlife coalition/sanctuary that deals with such issues. And generally you can drop wildlife off at a vet that will then get in contact with the local wildlife experts.

I can't imagine thinking "I'll call PETA!" in such a situation, really.

If her mom is 98, she's probably in her mid to late 70s, right? Judgment does start to slowly go eventually, and taking care of an older relative can take its own toll. Since she took full responsibility, I'm not inclined to be too hard on her.

About 2 years ago after I had adopted the Goat Puppy, and she was totes adorbs and scrumptious looking, I was driving her home from a vet check up. I stopped at a 7-11, which is a business that takes 2 minutes, tops. Well, only if you get stuck behind a 63 year old browsing the lotto tickets does it exceed the first minute at all. Well, as I was coming back out with my one soda and candy bar I actually saw someone trying to bash my back window in to "rescue" Goat Puppy. Now mind you, yes it was a hot July day but the window was rolled 1/2 way down so it blew my mind that he was trying to bash my window in and, again, I was parked in front of a 7-11.

/actually got the window replaced later that month because my insurance covered idiocy (yay!)

Sadly, most people have never heard of Jury Nullification, and talking about it during a trial is against The Rules.

I agree that there should be a difference in who gets to do what in these circumstances. It makes sense that officers, empowered to make these types of decisions, have a greater range of options commensurate with their greater responsibility.

Citizens should be obligated to break the window with an inanimate object while officers should have the discretion of using the owner's face.

/think of the comedy

In my experience busybodies are everywhere. When my daughter was about six months I took her shopping with me at the grocery, and came out of the store with her in the seat of the cart. I put the groceries in the car, took her out of the cart and put her into her baby seat, and then walked around the other side of the car only to hear someone yell "there's a baby locked in the car!".

But animal lovers are just as bad. I take my dog everywhere now, and while leaving an animal in a car in the heat, even with the windows rolled down, is dangerous, I get shiat from people when its 68 degrees and the dog isn't even panting. When it is hot, I take the dog out of the car and tie her up in the shade, but even that brings out the animal nuts telling me that a dog should "never be without water" and running to bring her bottled water.

KrispyKritter: Why I hate PETA:

A better reason to hate PETA:

They're an insane organization that glorifies the killing of pet animals as a method of 'saving' them from 'enslavement.' They are batshiat attention whores who need validation so badly that they damage the credibility of the animal rights movement by doing things like having volunteers dress up like KKK members outside of a dog show... for some reason that was never quite made clear. They care more about getting attention and getting donations than they ever have about animal rights.

You want to support an organization, find a local pet shelter and put your weight behind them. They always need donations, be it money, food, gear, and they always need volunteers.

Old Man Winter: No, Dog, call Para-Medic...

This cracked me up.

call 911/animal control. Break window immediately after and then clear the area quickly.

I think the bigger issue is there is still someone using the club.

Oh f*ck that. I loathe busybodies and I am real surprised that in ABQ this turned out as peaceful as it did. Small dogs frequently yelp and paw at doors and windows, they frequently have separation anxiety.
How was this 'rescuer' to know this wasn't the dog's normal behavior?
She should have been charged with breaking and entering and had to pay for the window.

/has dogs
//takes them in the car

Leave your farking dog at home on a hot day even more so when you are going to the doctor and not to a park or some place for the dog. Dumbarse people that take their dogs with them to the store should be shot. I just love parking and or loading my car and getting barked at the whole time.

Friends of mine dog sit for me quite often.
They take their dog everywhere so mine would go along with.
First time was 1/4 of a loaf of French bread.
Second time was smoked salmon.
She's not invited to go grocery shopping anymore.

Busybodies. Go get a hobby--anything to help you mind your own business.

First thing I thought of

URAPNIS: mytdawg: bearcats1983: I usually don't leave our puppy in the car alone, mainly for this reason. I understand being concerned about a dog's welfare, but I don't think someone has the right to smash my window if he's been in the car for a few minutes.

We had one that ate an entire rack of lamb. Pretty amazing what they can gobble down in short order.

Nogale: NIXON YOU DOLT!!!!!: Nogale: Swiss Colony: Wow, lot of tough guys in this thread. 'Look at me, if I see a dog in a car I'll break the window, I don't care for the consequences, I'm biatchin'. What, you all want a farking medal?

Nice to see the lady who left the dog actually taking responsibility for her actions. In the litigious US you'd normally expect her to sue for the damage. After all legaly she has the right.

Just last week, there was a case here (and we have hot summers, believe me) of passers-by seeing a year-old baby locked in a completely closed car. They broke the window and got the baby out, then called an ambulance. Fortunately, they were in time and the kid wasn't badly hurt. Would you suggest leaving a baby in a locked car on a hot day because the owner might sue?

Baby. Dog. I'll give your a few minutes to see if you can figure out the difference between the two in the eyes of the law.

I'll give your [sic] a few minutes to figure out how the case would actually go in court.

The person who broke the window to save the dog would be liable for the damages. The person who left the dog in the car might (depending on local ordnance) get a ticket. Not terribly likely that there would be anything beyond a misdemeanor for the window breaker.

mytdawg: Submitted First With a Better Headline: KrispyKritter: Why I hate PETA:
Stuff.

A better reason to hate PETA:

They're an insane organization that glorifies the killing of pet animals as a method of 'saving' them from 'enslavement.' They are batshiat attention whores who need validation so badly that they damage the credibility of the animal rights movement by doing things like having volunteers dress up like KKK members outside of a dog show... for some reason that was never quite made clear. They care more about getting attention and getting donations than they ever have about animal rights.

You want to support an organization, find a local pet shelter and put your weight behind them. They always need donations, be it money, food, gear, and they always need volunteers.

Old Man Winter: No, Dog, call Para-Medic...

This cracked me up.

MADD is a very similar organization to PETA.

HSUS is the new PETA

/and isn't the same as your local Humane Society

Liz Lemon: /irks the shiat out of me when people who have never had a child compare dogs to children

What about when people who have had children compare their dogs to them? My mom likens hers to toddlers: can't feed themselves (unless they're cleverly naughty and get into something), can't take themselves to the potty (indoor dogs), can't wander the world unattended, have to be watched to ensure they don't endanger themselves by playing with the wrong thing... completely dependent on their adult parents.

AbbeySomeone: Small dogs frequently yelp and paw at doors and windows, they frequently have separation anxiety.
How was this 'rescuer' to know this wasn't the dog's normal behavior?
She says she waited 40 minutes before busting open the window. And "sunlight can heat car interiors to lethal temperatures in just 30 minutes, even if the weather is relatively cool. ...keeping the windows open a crack hardly slowed the rise at all."

What is with you freaks who would rather see a pet cook to death than break a stupid car window that the insurance company will replace anyway.

Well, I'm sure the court will love to hear the justification for placing greater value on inanimate objects over an animal's life. Maybe we can get a few of those pesky ant-cruelty laws overturned too.

Nothing shows a person's character better than how they treat animals.

We eat them

kiwimoogle84: Salt Lick Steady: Stoj: I'd use a baby to smash through a window to save a dog.

With those big heads, they're practically begging to be used as hammers.

I did a spit take on that one. Oh Salt Lick, you have brightened many a morning of mine.

I aim to please, offend, and smash.

You people are getting way too bent out of shape over an animal. Sad if the animal dies? Sure.

You still don't have the right to vandalize other people's property. I'd have the woman brought up on charges. Mind your own life.

Cyno01: She farking loves car rides, its usually the highlight of her day. Unless theres some shiat she could roll in or something.

What a white and brown dog might look like from time to time.



The smell was just putrid.

So, someone may have saved you from animal cruelty charges, and you respond by suing them? Biting the hand that feeds, indeed.

According to the law, you're responsible for your pets wellbeing, and if you fail to take even basic steps to protect their life (Locking a dog in a car for forty minutes in June in the desert is a pretty big failure), you could be looking at felony animal neglect. A year in jail or a busybody knocking out a window. Your choice.

Breech Birth: You're heart was broke over a gull? Flying farkin' rats they are, or is it pigeons?



Ha! However interesting as the thought may be, it makes not one bit of difference to how you feel. If a gull were to walk in here right now, as I'm talking, would you greet it with a saucer of your delicious milk?
Probably not.
I didn't think so. You don't like them. You don't really know why you don't like them; all you know is you find them repulsive.


You'll save a dog, but not a bird? What's the criteria for when your compassion for animals ends?

libranoelrose: [i.imgur.com image 640x365]

Love it! Your dog looks a lot like mine does.

cheap_thoughts: Officers only have that right? Well I don't give a fark if I don't, I'm going after that window and then take up a collection if I get charges!

That is not true. Everyone can claim justification. Justification is a legal concept which states "I broke the law, but it was far less injurious to break the law than it was for me to follow it." Justification cannot be used in a non-self-defense killing of another.

Anyways, stupid city ordinances cannot trump common law.

Yeah, I see that comparison, but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about people who think that dogs = people. They don't. And don't get me wrong, I love dogs. But a dog is not a person. Yes, they are dependent upon us when we keep them as pets, but they are animals, not people. Our dogs have a self feeder for food and water, along with a pet door. They also have a gated area to keep themselves safe when we are not home. That would never work with a child, well, because it would be a child, not an animal. They are different.

Wanna know why many people prefer animals over humans?

Take a look in the mirror.

gte269: This is why I never take my dog with me anywhere. Because tards like u on here would turn me in and break my windows if I go buy a pack of gum at a gas station on a 70 degree day

A woman got in my grill once when I came out of the grocery store, because I'd left my dog in the truck. I lock her in with the engine and A/C running if I need to run a quick errand. The car was quite chilly....you could feel the chill if you touched the windows. Dog was happy as a clam. My truck with the A/C on is a lot cooler than my hot, un-air-conditioned house. She loves car rides in the summer.

An aquaintance of mine who is a dog sitter and trainer had the police called on her when she went into a Burger King for lunch, leaving her dog in her van with the roof A/C running. She'd finished eating and left before the police showed up, but it sounds like the lady who'd called the cops was getting close to physically restraining her to compel her to stay until they'd arrived. Which would have been an actual crime, unlike leaving a dog in a van with the air conditioning running.

Moral: Do check a vehicle carefully before getting all medieval and Captain America on someone else's property to save a distressed pet or baby.

That which is necessary is legal.

What about the 98-year old mother? Did Susanne leave her locked in her car with the window cracked for 40 minutes while she fussed over the dog?

RatMaster999: FTFA: "She told the judge she was taking her 98-year-old mother to the doctor and didn't realize the dog was in danger."

If you're this farking stupid, you need to be locked in a sealed car in the sun...

Sounds like a perfectly reasonable excuse to me. We don't know the full circumstances, perhaps she had the dog in the car (like a lot of my idiot friends always seem to) when her mother's emergency happened.

People come before animals, always. Double for family, Triple for moms.

/I like dogs, but I'd sacrifice every one on the planet for my family.
