Dog in crate on travel trailer bumper! If anyone here

happens to see this on the road in BC or Alberta, call the local police immediately. They are looking for it and I don't know if they've found it yet. The TT has an Alberta plate (or what appears to be a temporary licence on it).

These are a couple of photos from DW's FB page that were posted yesterday. The TT was travelling eastward from Chilliwack BC (east of Vancouver) at the time of the photos. The crate has a dog in it and can be seen in one photo. It's hard to imagine anyone doing something like this. I hope they get caught and charged with animal cruelty and have the book thrown at them.

  • There is nothing wrong. People do it every day. The people who complain about this kinda stuff need to worry about the 5 year old who got killed and people like you are sending cops to look for a dog that is having a good time looking out of a certified pet carrier.

    A modern vehicle in proper repair emits basically no carbon monoxide while cruisimg down the road. The computer controls and catalytic converter take care of that. Diesels characteristicslly produce very little CO because the combustion by design has an excess of air.

    Cause it can't stick it's head out like it would in a car. :)

    I sometimes go Bobcat hunting with a buddy of mine. His dogs ride in a stand on dog house in the back of his truck. same thing to me.
  • How clueless can they be??? The dog will be terrified and is in for a rough ride. I sure hope the police find them before the animal gets hurt.
