We join the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office in reminding everyone that leaving an animal in a hot car is not just inhumane and dangerous but a CRIME! see penal code section 597.7 which reads in part: “No person shall leave or confine an animal in any unattended motor vehicle under conditions that endanger the health or well-being of an animal due to heat, cold, lack of adequate ventilation, or lack of food or water, or other circumstances that could reasonably be expected to cause suffering, disability, or death to the animal.” Please remind others and report this crime immediately! Many thanks to Deputy District Attorney Deborah Knaan, who supervises the prosecution of all animal cruelty and neglect cases for the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, for leading this extremely important campaign.
