British Columbia summers come with the ubiquitous drivers with disregard for animal rights. Here the Keowna Mounties take care of an unresponsive dog!
Why don't we have legislation enshrined in our criminal code to punish these drivers? A $100 BCSPCA fine is absurd but appreciated.

The dog was found just after 5 p.m. in the 100 block of Sunset Drive, Const. Mike Della-Paolera said, adding that by the time police arrived the ambient temperature was 30 C and the in car temperature was 40 C.

The dog was unresponsive.
“The dog was obviously in distress from the heat, officers arrived and immediately determined that they needed to get into the vehicle to save the dog’s life,” Della-Paolera said.
“(They broke) the driver’s side window and removed the dog providing it with water and actually saving the dog’s life.”

Kudos officers!! Thank you for taking the lead on this annual display of cruelty. I'm wondering if the SPCA confiscated the pup.
