-----Original Message----- please forward this to all you know who show in west palm beach. this happened on saturday at the obedience trial in wpb. on saturday, there was a bead and necklace show in conjunction with the obedience trial. a off duty animal control officer was there and saw a dog in a van with the doors wide open and a fan while the owner was inside the building. the officer called animal control and they started combing thru the parking lot for dogs in vans. this particular person was given a warning, and they were inquiring if she lived in WPB and her dogs reproductive status. the president of the club asked where is the written law animals cannot be kept in a car if well ventilated. they did not produce it and said no dogs in car, regardless...even if a/c is on. they were giving out warnings and had the club post up signs reading no dogs in parked cars. was this coincidence or warning of things to come? sunday, i did not see any officers, but the club warned us against leaving dogs in cars even if loading or unloading and the a/c was on/doors open/ect. just keeping you informed. jackie k.

From: Carol Burke <_darrlburg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx (mailto:darrlburg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx) > Date: Sun, Jun 8, 2008 at 9:53 PM Subject: Re: [grcmembers] west palm beach shows/animal control To: _targonrotts@xxxxxxxxx (mailto:targonrotts@xxxxxxxx) , _grcmembers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (mailto:grcmembers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) , _savvyrotty@xxxxxxxx (mailto:savvyrotty@xxxxxxx) I was the person singled out by animal control for having a dog unattended in my van. The van was wide open, side door and back doors, the crate was facing the rear and I have an Astro van so the rear doors were locked. This dog was not entered in the show and that is why she was in the van. I received a warning ticket and I took the dog inside. Animal control was all over the parking lot, I did mention to the AC officer that her time might be better spent investigating people who really were abusing their dogs. They also questioned me as to whether my dog was spayed or neutered and did I live in Palm Beach County, thankfully the answer to both questions was NO.
