Uncle links to a story about how the CEO of the Richmond Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, in Virginia. left her dog in in a hot car for four hours without leaving proper ventilation, and killed the 16yr old blind, deaf and dependent animal.
Double the normal punishment for cruelty to animals and and stuff it down her throat. Ban her from ever owning another animal or being a member of an organization whose focus is on animals.
Or alternately, wrap a plastic bag over her head, dress her in spandex and sweaters and lock her in a green house until she suffers the fate of “Louie”.
No matter the backstory, there is no such thing as “accidentally” locking an animal in a car.
