Sorry to hear about your dog dying. Man's best friend and it hurts when we lose them.I’m so sad guys... my dog died.
I feel so empty, he was my best friend, my pal. And now, he’s gone...
We left him in the truck all afternoon.
I’m so sorry, what an unexpected way to lose himWe left him in the truck all afternoon.
There are laws against this. It's animal cruelty. Being against animal abuse doesn't need anecdotes or lessons. Leaving dogs in hot cars is neglectful and cruel, that isn't something that a forum full of people over the age of five years old need to be told.
Nobody intentionally leaves their baby, young child, or dog in the car when it is hot enough to be dangerous. That’s not a law people (I would hope) would ever try to break. People often don’t realize how hot it can get inside a closed car, especially if its in the sun, snd many many times, parents get distracted and don’t realize they didn’t unbuckle their small children. ”Animal Cruelty“ is the intentional mistreatment of an animal. In my opinion, as long as there are stories in the news about children who’s parents didn’t realize they left the kid in the car, you shouldn’t correct someone for a reminder like that (especially not someone who just lost their pet, because he was in the car too long). I saw PK’s warning as a reminder that “it gets hotter so much faster than you would think, don’t want this to happen to anybody else”
Negligence still counts as animal cruelty. This isn't a discussion that we should be having. There are hundreds of cases where this has happened, and thousands of times the entire world has been told "don't leave dogs in hot cars" and yet it still happens. It just makes me lose faith in humanity honestly.
Sure, negligence could be considered animal cruelty, but negligence is defined as “careless, sloppy”. accident is defined as “mishap, unfortunate incident, tragedy” I just don’t think anyone who accidentally left a pet in the car should be accused of animal cruelty, as they already I’m sure feel horribly guilty, and it wasn’t just that they didn’t bother to think about it, or bother to make a good decision. Part of having pets is simply doing your best, it’s just that we’re all human, and humans make mistakes. Things happen, and I don’t think accidents like what happened to PK‘s dog should be labeled as “animal cruelty”
Agreed. Perhaps we should quit having it.

Wow man, I really appreciate your simpathy.
I totally agree.
I had a response written up, but I’m not going to post it. It’s just not worth it.
No worries
. Here to talk whenever you need.
No worries
Why should I be sympathetic? I don't have an obligation to feel for you.
I'm not planning on starting an argument because this thread is fun and getting it locked would be a pain, so I'm politely asking now that we stop this "discussion" considering a mod has already said to stop.
