lynneelips Rookie Author Akron Posts:73 Points:15,100 Joined:Jan 2012	Message Posted: Jan 24, 2012 4:59:52 PM Ignore lynneelips Report Abuse To all of you that think you are doing a service check 1st to see if the windows are down and the dog has water. This was done to me and of course the people that called and harrassed me in the parking lot took off as soon as they saw the police lucky for them since they would have ended up in trouble not me. Most people that take pets in the car with them consider them part of the family and they are treated better than alot of peoples kids. Trust me MAX is!

Unless you have some genetic abnormality, YOU DID NOT GIVE BIRTH TO THEM!!! Stop treating animals on the same level as people. They shouldn't be abused, but they aren't human and don't have the same rights. Jumping off my soapbox.
