The other day at the park, I saw a guy put his dog in a cage in the trunk of his car. He was going home in the car with the dog in the trunk.
What is the legality of this? I find it abusive, but I don’t actually know the law on this. Maybe it’s not abusive to others if he’s actually driving (vs leaving the car alone). I dont know if I’m extra empathetic to pets or if the law also thinks this way.
What ARE the laws for this kinda thing? I wrote down the license plate just in case.
Were all the seats full? I think you can call the 1111 number or whatever its called
It could’ve been my neighbour on the next street. They have a closed garage, with 2 medium sized dogs in a separate cage within. The dogs hardly ever leave the cage, except when it’s being cleaned of faeces.
Some pets get a raw deal here. Sometimes arguably almost better to be a street dog.
I know which one I’d pick.
Nope was just him and dogdog
5.2.9 may not allow trunkage, but it’s also likely for a short distance. Damn.
