DOG LEFT IN HOT CAR
At approximately 11 am on June 20, East Hants RCMP responded after it was reported that a dog was left inside a vehicle in the parking of the Superstore in Elmsdale.
On arrival, officers noted that the dog was panting heavily and the owner of the vehicle was not in sight. The temperature outside at the time was 32d Celcius.
The inside of the vehicle could easily reach 55d Celcius within minutes causing death to the animal.
The owner of the vehicle approached the officers moments later and was subsequently issued a summary offence ticket for leaving an animal unattended in a vehicle in conditions that could cause distress S. 9(5) of the standards of care for cats and dogs regulations.
The charge carries a fine of $697.50.
East Hants RCMP wants to remind the public that leaving an animal in a hot car is not ok and officers will be on the lookout for offenders throughout the summer months.
The temperature does not have to be extreme in order for the interior of the vehicle to reach deadly temperatures.
For example, if the air outside is just under 24 degrees Celsius, after 10 minutes the interior of your car will be over 34 degrees, after 20 minutes 40 degrees, and 46 degrees after an hour.
