What to do when you see pets locked in hot vehicles
It’s not even June yet and already warm weather records are being broken across Alberta.
RCMP and officials with the Central Alberta Humane Society say the rising mercury should act as a reminder to citizens to not leave their pets alone in hot vehicles.
The conundrum for some people who happen upon such a situation is how far to go in helping that animal: should you call the police or break the window?
In a statement, Red Deer RCMP say before someone can lawfully break a window, there must be clear indicators the pet is in heat (or cold)-induced stress.
