Animals died on his watch. He can't be trusted to keep future pets safe. Several Puppies Allegedly Died After He Locked Them in a Truck on a Scorchingly Hot Day Sign Now    Dear friends,   On a hot day, temperatures inside vehicles can quickly spiral out of control — even when humans don't anticipate it. That was the case for one man and his many dogs in Connecticut. The man had rented a U-Haul truck and allegedly placed multiple puppies inside cages and locked them in the back of the unventilated vehicle. Then, he left them there. The temperature that day reached a high of nearly 90 degrees Fahrenheit. On a day where the outside air is 80 degrees — significantly less — the inside of a car can reach 109 Fahrenheit after 20 minutes, which is high enough to kill an animal or child. We don't know the exact temperature inside this U-Haul van, but we can safely assume that the truck felt like it was broiling the puppies alive. And, in fact, that's exactly what happened. Several of the puppies died. Someone rushed the remaining pets to an animal hospital, where authorities became aware of the deadly situation. Officials have charged the man in charge of the puppies with seven counts of animal cruelty, but it's clear that he should never be allowed to tend to the well-being of animals again. Sign the petition to ban this man from adopting, working with, or even living with pets again in the future!   Thank you, Miranda Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Multiple dogs died on his watch from an extremely preventable tragedy. He cannot be trusted with their care again. Sign the petition.      Sign Now
