I just observed a scandalous scene inside a government public facility where a lady just stormed in & started yelling "who owns a Jack Russell terrier inside a car outside?!!!" it was 110 degrees that day but with windows rolled down & I later found out the dog has a bowl of water in it & the people who owns it were just doing a quick chore in that govt facility, b4 going to the beach. The lady added hysterically & shouted: "did u know that w/in (?) mins they can die? Dog killer! (or murderer!) I will take your dog if ur not going to leave now & take her home! I will call Humane Society!" She kept going on & on until 1 of the owner said: "Mind your own business or I will sue you for libel & slander. We just arrived and my wife will go back to the car after she helps me with (whatever they were doing there, i did not hear)". When I left the place, she was still going on & the man's # was called and he was just quiet while the wife went to the car/dog. What is ur opinion on this?

I believe a police officer can not stop you from filing a law suit. It is not a criminal but a civil suit. If the women was concerned about the dog then should have looked into the car and if she still felt concern she should have handled it in a calm and polite manner. Such as " Did you know that your car windows are shut. Its hot and sunny outside and I am concerned that you may have forgot to open your window). A caring approach would not have put the pet owner on the defensive. After talking to the owner and if she was still concern about the dog she could have notified the Police.

I don't think the lady who spotted the dog in the car has a right to sue. She has a right to call the Humane Society if she feels the dog's life is in danger. If the Humane Society investigates the call and finds the owners to be negligent in their care of the dog, they could press charges. I don't think the owners of the dog could sue the lady. I mean, they could sue her, but it would be their word against hers and usually those types of cases don't go anywhere.

In my state, California, it is illegal to leave any children or animals in a parked car--period. One hundred and ten degrees outside means it was probably 120 degrees inside the vehicle. No, the woman yelling was in the right, legally.

You left out the part(s) about the cops...But they can't call you and tell you not to sue someone....The people with the dog were wrong to leave it in the car.. The lady was wrong to yell and scream about it....
