Maybe someone here can help me. I'm lost and the humane society doesn't know...
I'm a truck driver that drives through all 48 states and parts of Canada, all while my two pups navagate lol.
Now my problem is, sometimes I have to let my truck idle while I sleep, especially overnight on cold or hot nights, or when I'm not around to let my pack out for fresh air. AND some states (including New York) have anti-idle laws for semi trucks where we are not allowed to idle for more than 5 minutes.
Yes, this means the dogs would have to suffer, or I take a $500 ticket for idling, everytime.
Aren't their any pet laws that can overstep this?? I mean people go to prison for making an animal suffer in a hot car! and the government is making my dogs suffer by not letting me idle my tuck in certain states. Now of course I let the windows down, and have plenty of fresh water and a fan going, but it wont do, the truck needs to run with the AC on.
Does anyone here know about pet laws? or of there's a number I can call?? I'm sorta lost at this point.
Thanks to anyone that can help me.
