Animal lover Bernadette Pienaar writes:

I was devastated to read in the Lowvelder of Tuesday October 15 about the death of a puppy due to heat exhaustion! Come on people in this day and age? We can travel to the moon, don’t you have the common sense to realise that you can’t leave any living thing whether it’s a plant, animal or child in a car during summer in Nelspruit!
I’ll have a proposition for all animal lovers, if you see a dog in a car break the window and take the animal to the SPCA, because clearly such a person is not fit to care for an animal. It’s time to take a stand! If you were born dumb it’s not your fault but there is no excuse for such blatant stupidity!
