hot day

[miskitka]

Today sure was a hot day!
saying that, today when i was leaving the mall, i noticed the animal control truck pulled up in front of the mall,i was thinking this is a wierd place for the animal control? and then i noticed a police car, and a bunch of comotion(sp?) involving the cop, a 2 other people with there heads in the side door of the van, and then i seen the police man carring a small puppy! augh! made me sick... im not real sure what exactly was going on, but i think i have a pretty good idea, im almost sure that some idiot thought their dog wouldnt mind waiting out in the car in 100 degree weather while they lolly gag around the mall for a bit!

Thanks miskitka for your post and the reminder to all animal lovers.

I will admit to being one who has broken out a few car windows to get dogs out.

They need to send those folks a bill for the expense to the tax payors for thier stupidity.

Lets see a cop, animal control, a cop car...... and bout an hour of both thier times? I think that bill would teach them a better lesson than any fine that might be imposed. I think the "fine" should be 20 hours community service with the animal control folks.

Tex, that makes a bunch of sense. Remember the girl from the south that befriended a guy on the internet (from Kansas City) and she was coming to visit and told him she was in a car accident - but really she was still in the south and had not boarded the plane? The cities involved in the hunt for her have sent her bills for officer's time. Not sure what she's gonna do with them, but I really don't want MY tax-paid officers out on a merry hunt just so she can have her jollies! Same goes here. If they're gonna waste city taxpayer money, then they need to pay it back. And also spend time with the animal control folks.

How about the big "kidnapper hunt" down in SE Kansas a few weeks ago??
That had to cost some bucks to taxpayers!

I would agree with that, mitUSA - especially because the officers were fewer and further apart. There were probably many areas underserved with that fiasco. If we don't teach people there's a punishment, many will fail to see it's wrong.
