[post_page_title]Amounting to animal cruelty[/post_page_title]
Leaving an animal to bake inside a hot car is seen as animal cruelty, and those who leave their animals inside these warm vehicles could face felony cruelty charges. PETA recommends calling local humane authorities or the police if you come across a dog stuck in a hot car. They then suggest if help is taking too long to arrive you find a witness and remove the animal from the hot vehicle. This action will potentially save the life of a suffering animal neglected by their owners.
