Pet Talk: What to do when an owner puts an animal in danger - USATODAY.com

  • In this case, a nervous young Labrador kept jumping out of the back of a pickup, and the annoyed owner kept tossing her back there as a crowd formed and pleas were issued for him to accept the offer of a free leash and transport her safely in the truck cab.
  • If it appears the situation will take more than a minute or two to play out, call animal control (report animal in possible imminent danger) and the police (making the public safety argument). If you know you have less time than that, call anyhow, give them the plate number and description of the truck. They probably won't arrive fast enough to intercede, but sometimes, though not always, animal control will — if a witness signs a complaint — track down the owner to chat. It may be too late for the dog that was at risk. But I wish we'd done that so the guy would have been confronted by someone other than bystanders.

  • First, he says, it's important to understand that the temperature doesn't have to be in the 90s for a car-bound animal to be in deep trouble. At much lower temperatures, particularly if the sky is cloudless, the humidity high or the car dark-colored, a vehicle becomes a sauna fast. And cracking windows a few inches accomplishes practically nothing (though many owners of now-dead pets thought it would).
  • In fact, researchers learned that when it's a sunny 78 degrees, the temperature in a parked car with windows cracked rises at least 32 degrees in 30 minutes. So: 78 degrees to 110 in half an hour.


    "A matter of minutes, five or 10 minutes" is all it takes on a hot day for a dog to wind up organ-damaged or dead, Messonnier says.

Consumerist - 50 Scientific Ways to Influence Consumers - Persuasion





  • My local Humane Society won't get money from me after I captured a stray cat terrorizing my outside pride, and they wanted $60 to take him. I almost reminded them that cinder blocks are only $2.00, but in the end I drove him ten miles away and let him loose.


    My local SPCA, however, are amazing folks.





  • If you want to punish cats the humane society is still worth a donation, since they kill a lot of them. Personally I find such "gifts" self-defeating since I know that most of money would go towards buying stickers.
