Don't lock your kid/pet in your car

[transemacabre]

Let us all take a moment to preemptively mourn for all the small children and/or pets that will no doubt die this summer while locked in a hot car while their parents and/or owners go inside to get their nails done. EVERY DAMN YEAR some idiots leave their dogs, cats, or babies to a slow, dreadful death inside a metal/glass oven.

A friendly reminder to my flist: leave your pets at home if you cannot take them inside with you. Do not leave your small children locked in the fucking car under any circumstances.

I could NEVER imagine just leaving my cat in the car for any reason, and when I had a dog, I couldn't pay attention to anything else long enough to just forget she's in there. Liza only goes outside for vet visits and to go somewhere with me, and when I'm in the car, the AC is either on or the windows are mostly down.

People who leave their dogs in a hot car make me sick. It's your fucking dog. If you're taking it somewhere, take it with you. They're not grown up people. They don't understand why the fuck you're not in the car with them, let alone for that long, and they can't remind you to roll your windows down.
