Hot dog gadget

Was surfing on tech gadgets and came across this article. I love the writing:

Re: Hot dog gadget

OMG, these are the things that drive me nuts. Why take your dogs if you aren't going to do anything with them??? To suffocate and be bored in an SUV? The dogs would have a much better time at home doing something fun in the air conditioning, not suffering because someone wants to be selfish! That would be funny, to see someone who is too irrisponsible to handle a dog, drive around with that thing!

Re: Hot dog gadget

When I used to work at WalMart, one of the customer service managers said she was in the parking lot one afternoon and one of the cart pushers had noticed a little puppy in a truck and it seemed lethargic. So they broke the window out to try to give it water and save it, but it died right after they got it out. I think when people do this to animals, they should have the same fate.

Re: Hot dog gadget

I think the law on animal abuse should be greatier! They are horses close to where I live, and they don't have food and the guy keeps breeding them! I want to steal one, but I haven't convinced my mother yet!

Amen to that.

Unfortunately, the law is very lax on people who accidently leave their babies in hot vehicles, let alone animals.

We heard so many stories of that type last summer that we were just sick to death about it. It just floored us everytime we heard about people who said that they "forgot the baby was in the car". What???...how on earth do you forget about a baby or child?

It's no wonder that animals are treated the way they are when human beings don't even have value anymore. (Not by all, but by enough to cause alarm).

Have you ever watched animal precinct on Animal planet?
Call the SPCA. It is illegal to have animals and not feed them.

Re: Hot dog gadget

I have a friend that takes their 2 dogs EVERYWHERE. One is a JRT and the other is a BULL MASTIFF. She can't even just run up to the store for a minute. She claims that the mastiff is just too destructive when he gets left home alone and that the JRT doesn't like to be left behind if the other dog gets to go. She leaves the windows down and they both just lay in the back seat while she goes into the store. They always have dog drool down the sides of the car.

I think she just likes the attention that the HUGE dog attracts.

Re: Hot dog gadget

He has been in jail for that plenty, but he doesn't care about that. He says he gets paid like 5000 for each one but the only way they get to escape is by death. I have feed them plenty. I have to be careful if he catches me I would be kicked off his property and I would be grounded.

Re: Hot dog gadget

Well its one of the most stupid gadgets ever, I am so with the person who wrote this. I heard ( I have no clue if this is true but I can believe it unfortunately) that one woman got sick of it warning her that her car was to hot for her car that she purposely increased the temp to 90 something so it wouldnt keep beeping to remind her. ahhh
