I have a remote control starter. It will start the truck from a very long distance away. And once started, the truck cannot be driven without the key in the ignition. If you get in the truck and hit the brake, then the truck will shut off. Anyway, my remote starter will keep the truck running for 45 minutes. So if I have to leave Bimba in the truck, I can leave the A/C or heater on and she is comfortable. |

Differ yourself from stupid soccer moms and just leave your damn dog at home..
Problem solved - no cops called, no irrational people harassing you |

It's about 94 here today. I took my dag with me to run some errands and stopped at a dollar store to pick up some trash bags. I was inside like 3 or 4 minutes total and came out of the store to find some crazy bitch trying to open the drivers door on my Denali. I asked her if I could help her as I had the key to unlock the door. She started yelling about how I should be locked up for leaving my dag in a truck with the windows rolled up on a hot day and how he could die in there. I said, "Maybe if you paid a little more attention...you'd realize the god-damned engine is running and the air conditioning is set at 60 degrees! Now get away from my truck..." She stormed off into the store muttering something about 'it's still dangerous'... View Quote You're lucky your dag didn't steal your truck. |

Not that I care but, it's against the law to leave a car running in Texas if it's unattended. IN TEXAS? Yes, it's true. Because if you leave your pick-up truck running with the keys in the ignition, how are you going to clean your ears? |

Perhaps she is aware that for every 1 like you that takes precautions to protect the DOG, there are 5 morons out there who don't and kill or at least let their DOGs suffer. Just because your vehicle is running doesn't mean the air is on or working for someone initially seeing the DOG in a car on a hot day.
Do you feel cool typing "dag" instead of "dog"? |

I fucking hate these types of people. There's a dog store in mini mall I go to. Well I was parked about 30 feet away from the dog store in front of a grocery store. I get out of my car and my dag is sitting enjoying life in the passenger side seat, licking the windows all short bus retarded like. No quicker than I am out of the drivers side door and walking behind my car to the passenger side door some old hag yells at me "You're not going to leave your dog in there are you?" in a bitchy demeaning tone. I was caught off guard cause I didn't see this old wrinkly fucking cunt. So I said no and kept walking to the passenger door to bring her into the dog store. My blood was fucking boiling by the time I realized I acted like a little bitch and should of told this old cunt to fuck off. Yes I am really angry over this whole ordeal. People need to mind their own fucking business. [/rage] There are people who leave kids and dogs in their cars resulting in their deaths. Perhaps you should have thanked her for her concern. |

Parked with the AC on my truck exhaust gets too hot, sometimes the engine overheats. Some have gone up in flames. I have had to leave a disabled person or a pet in the running truck with AC during a quick run inside but I'm not happy about it when I do it. I wouldn't drive or ride in something I was that scared of. I'm not worried if I am in it, I'm worried if someone else is in it without me. Other than that, I don't have a lot of choice. Standing next to the doors, the exhaust heat coming from underneath is too much to stand there for long. If it can spark a fire, who knows, I'm just wary of it. It bugs me more in the summer than it does in the winter. Seriously, can you cite any examples of cars bursting into flames from the heat of the exhaust while idling in Park? Or is this just something you think might happen? Am I sounding like a paranoid loon or something? After some poking around it looks like fires have not been caused by a catalyst on it's own, but with a combinations of things including catalysts, too rich of a fuel mixture, flammable debris(leaves, birds nest), paint/undercoating, etc. As I said, my specific vehicle concerns me(I'm not losing sleep or peeing my pants mind you), running rich may explain my crappy fuel economy and excess heat from underneath. FWIW, According to NHTSA, an overheated catalyst due to a fuel rich condition can start a fire. However in my situation I am concerned about any vehicle we use, idling or not, as vehicle fires happen often enough. When you have to leave a quadriplegic requiring assistance to exit the vehicle, what can go wrong needs to be considered. If not for the risk to life, it would not be a concern. I err on the side of caution when my sisters life is in my hands. I also have a wireless thermometer, monitor the passenger compartment via cell phone and insure the vehicle can be seen from inside the store. With all of that I still limit the time period to 3 or 4 minutes. Life for families with debilitating disabilities is different than everyone else. Not to mention the world is not very forgiving when they hear a young disabled lady died in a car fire while her brother took 3 minutes to pick up her dinner or medications. Whatever the cause, car fires happen,,, I'm wary, that simple. www.nfpa.org U.S. fire departments responded to an estimated average of 152,300 automobile fires per year in 2006-2010. These fires caused an average of 209 civilian deaths, 764 civilian injuries http://www.autoblog.com/2011/04/11/video-dodge-durango-catches-fire-during-d-c-cherry-blossom-par/#continued Sorry for the hijack OP.

I am sick and tired of these fucking idiots. I used to go everywhere with my dog......guess what ? She never fucking roasted in the car. Now......if I leave the damn dog in the car.......I have to deal with some fat-assed-whore reading me the riot act when I return to the car. One time, this land-whale and her BOYFRIEND were waiting for me at my car when I arrived with my groceries. She proceeded to lecture me on why i shouldn't leave my dog in the car....and she was not being very polite. I made eye contact with the BF, and I could see the look in his eyes was emabarasment, shame, and a plea for me not to retort with the obvious.........something like....I can see that is why your BF is taking you in the store and not leaving you out in the car. I bit my tongue, only out of pity for the poor sap who had to go home with that sow. He looked back as they walked off and gave me an appreciative nod.....he knew what I did for him....it was all too obvious. Fuck those people. Furthermore.....was there EVER a time when dogs were dropping like flies from roasting in cars ? I doubt it. http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd145/drsalee/bb2.jpg View Quote Shame on you!

Quoted: As long as you had the A/C on I have no issue with this. I have an issue when I go to get breakfast and it is in the 80s and I see a dog in the car with the windows cracked. I fucking went inside and announced loudly if they didn't get their ass out there the cops WOULD be coming. I don't understand why people insist on taking their dog places and leave them in the car for extended periods of time. 10 minutes max. And you better have the fucking air on during hot days.

It's amazing how easily people are influenced by the media these days.
Kids die in car, nothing new.. happens all of the time. Makes national news. Dogs die in cars, nothing new.. happens all of the time. Makes national news but not first page. It's all over the local news from time to time about people saving pets in cars. People start frothing at the mouth over something that they were already aware was a problem to begin with. It's obvious that the TV is giving marching and thinking orders to the American public. All it takes is a little drama, a sense of righteous behavior, a perceived outlet and the drones go to work. No doubt she votes as a Democrat. |

Animal cruelty/abuse has nothing to do with political views.
It's a matter of right or wrong, animal abusers are simply wrong, if not straight forward felons. I'm a conservative and I'll break a car window anytime I see a dog in a heated car. The owner can sue me for the window repair, but I'll guarntee he/she will be charged with animal cruelty. I'll be the first one to call the cops, and let the judge decide. |

Interestingly Minnesota is one state that specifically enumerates misdemeanor charges for an owner who leaves a dog in a car unattended, and provides for reasonable force to remove a dog in danger that has been left unattended, albeit by a set list of individuals. I can't help but think that pursuing property damages against someone who claimed they saw a dog in distress and acted in the dog's best interest wil not go very far. I don't know why this strikes some people on here as a new thing. They've been frying eggs on dashboards in the summertime to warn against the dangers of unattended occupants for as long as I can remember. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt and presume they know better than to leave animals/people in a hot car unattended, yet arfcom once again proves me wrong. |
