HELP THE DEFENSELESS!
DOGS & CHILDREN left in vehicles during even mildly warm weather are at risk for deadly heatstroke and yet, they are defenseless in protecting themselves from this situation. We believe the citizens of Halifax Regional Municipality (Nova Scotia) can start something BIG! While laws are in effect for those who make these offenses, there is not enough public outcry to push for convictions. We believe offenders who put pets & children at risk of Vehicular Heatstroke should be made ACCOUNTABLE through enforceable fines, penalties, cruelty and abuse investigations and other LEGAL and punitive actions by government.  Please sign if you want your government to enforce/adjust the current laws to protect these innocent children and pets!
(NOTE: Despite the request for donations, you are not obligated to do so to sign the petition)

One hundred people have signed on to demand safety for children and pets. This is exhausting work but seeing your names pile up gives me the resolve to keep pushing forward.

Total common sense. Anyone who leaves a kid or a dog in a hot car deserves a massive fine. Zero excuses.
