Short Hills, NJ – Compassionate Business Award moves from PETA to local Garden Commercial Properties, a subsidiary of Garden Homes Management Corporation, for the development and installation of warning signs about the danger of leaving animals and children in parked cars. The property management team’s decision follows discussions with PETA and affects over 50 retail and office space.

“Even fast things can end in tragedy, as temperatures inside parked cars can skyrocket to three-digit numbers in minutes,” says PETA executive vice president Tracy Reiman. “In response to PETA’s call for warning signs, Garden Commercial Properties will help prevent the horrific deaths of animals and children from heatstroke.”

This year heat-related deaths of the 20 dogs have already made it into the news – and countless others have suffered and died out of the public eye. Anyone who sees a dog or a child in a parked car should take action immediately: write down the color, make, model and license plate and hurry so that the nearest stores have information about the owner of the car – if the owner cannot be found, call the local humane authorities or the police. And if they are does not respond, do whatever you can to save a person’s life. PETA offers a window breaker for emergency relief.

Garden Commercial Properties will receive a framed certificate and a box of delicious vegan chocolates.

PETA, whose motto is in part that “animals are not in our hands to be abused in any way,” is opposed to arrogance, a worldview focused on human superiority. For more information please visit PETA.org or subscribe to the group on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram…
