Two beautiful Red Setters were left shut in a hot car on Saturday the hottest day of the heatwave while their owners went and played golf. They died in there. According to reports, police said they’d issue a statement… and then went quiet. Now people are worried nothing will happen. Let that sink in. Two living, breathing dogs probably trusting their humans right up until the end suffered and died because someone decided a round of golf mattered more than their lives. We all know how fast a car turns into an oven in July. We’ve all seen the warnings. There is no excuse. These weren’t “mistakes.” This was a choice. If the police and RSPCA don’t follow through with proper action here, what message does that send? That our dogs’ lives are disposable when it’s inconvenient for us? I’m angry. I’m heartbroken for those dogs. And I’m tired of seeing this happen every summer with barely a slap on the wrist. Some people shouldn’t own a budgie, let alone dogs. What sort of moron leaves two animals locked in a car on one of the hottest days of the year? Those poor dogs didn’t just die they suffered and baked to death. It’s cruel, it’s utterly irresponsible, and there is simply no excuse for it. What do you think should happen to the owners? I certainly think there should be servers consequences including imprisonment.

The UK’s 40% tax rate was meant for the wealthy. Now nearly 1 in 5 taxpayers pay it. In the 1990s it was closer to 1 in 30. At what point does a “tax on the rich” become a tax on people with a good salary rather than real wealth?
