🚨 LOCAL POLICING SAFETY ALERT: Animals in Hot Cars 🚨

As temperatures rise, we are reminding residents that leaving animals in vehicles can place them at serious risk.

🌡️ Even on a mild day, the temperature inside a parked car can increase rapidly, becoming life-threatening within minutes. [rspca.org.uk]

⚖️ Legal reminder:
While it is not automatically an offence to leave an animal in a vehicle, owners may be prosecuted under the Animal Welfare Act 2006 if this causes unnecessary suffering or puts the animal at risk. [kinship.com]
