Target: Mr. Mark Kennedy, Chief of Police in Quincy, Massachusetts, United States
On a scorching day with temperatures soaring into the 80s in Quincy, Massachusetts, two dogs were allegedly left unattended and locked inside a car at a parking garage on Hancock Street. The concerned public reported the distressing situation to the Quincy Police.
Fearing for the safety of the dogs, the officers took swift action and broke the window of the car to rescue the animals. The pooches were subsequently handed over to animal control. The owner, who was from out of the area, is now facing two counts of animal cruelty.
Leaving pets unattended in vehicles during extreme weather conditions poses severe risks to their health and well-being. The temperature inside a closed car can rise rapidly, creating a life-threatening situation for animals trapped inside.
As responsible citizens, we must ensure that the rights and welfare of animals are protected, and those who neglect or endanger them are held accountable for their actions. Sign below and demand a thorough investigation so that the person who reportedly nearly sentenced these dogs to death faces justice.
