Phoenix – Since Phoenix is now ranked as the hottest city in the U.S. and has the fourth highest number of child deaths in hot cars (1990 to 2020), PETA just pasted 60 shopping carts at a local Safeway store with advertisements warning shoppers that leaving dogs and children in hot vehicles can quickly be fatal.
“The temperature inside a parked car can reach lethal levels in just a few minutes, making an unexpected delay in ‘fast assignment’ a tragedy for a dog or child,” says PETA President Ingrid Newkirk. “PETA reminds everyone that the safest place for our most vulnerable family members is at home, where it’s cool.”
As early as 2021, 11 dogs and nine children have died in hot cars across the country. Last year, at least 28 animals died from heat-related causes, and another 91 animals were rescued just in time – and since these numbers only include incidents reported in the media, the actual numbers are certainly much higher.
Anyone who sees a dog in a parked car should take immediate action: write down the color, make, model and license plate of the car and hurry to get the store page with the owner. If you can’t find them, call 911, and if the authorities don’t answer, do whatever you can to save a person’s life. PETA offers a window breaker for emergency relief.
PETA’s advertisements are located in Safeway at 4005 E. Chandler Blvd.
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…
