Was recently on Facebook where a friend of mine commented that she was going to lunch and saw where someone had locked their pet dog inside a car. They had then gone inside the air conditioned restaurant to have lunch.

She was pondering calling the police to get the animal out of the car. First of the people who replied said yes to call the police that this is illegal and not safe for the animal.

Then a couple of jerks chime on saying that it was none of her business and that we should do nothing.

I posted that its against the law to leave an animal in a closed car like that and that she should call the police. Well the discussion really degenerates and one of these two jerks starts calling me names and saying that its none of my business and so on.

What is everyone's thoughts about this? Personally I feel the same about a pet that I would a small child and leaving either in a locked car while the parents are inside having lunch or dinner is not an option. We have kids die from idiots who do this here and its against the law. As well believe that California has a law against it but these guys evidently cannot read or simply do not care.
