Animals in the heat - Dogs in the car during heat, owner at shopping - Animal dead
At high temperatures, two Dogs were left in a car by their owners at a Shopping-Center in Zweibrucken, according to the police - one of them did not survive. The police inspection of the Palatinate city stated that one of the dogs had to be taken to a veterinary clinic where it had died. The other dog was also reportedly given medical treatment and "apparently only survived with great luck."
The Police were informed about the incident on a Friday by the animal rescue team from Contwig regarding an incident at the Outlet-Center in Zweibrucken. An investigation was reportedly initiated against the visitors for violating animal protection laws.
In response to the incident, the temperatures in Rhineland-Palatinate that day were particularly high. The vehicle where the dogs were left lacked an Automatic ventilation system, exacerbating their suffering. During the emergency, the two-bridge area around the Outlet-Center witnessed a heavy downpour, making the situation even more challenging for the rescuers. Despite the police's efforts, the weather conditions further deteriorated the situation, leading to unfortunate consequences.
