Ep.364: Don't Leave Them Out in the Cold: PETA Tips to Keep Animals Safe

THE PETA PODCAST

Dogs are being reported dead in Michigan and Indiana. And that's just the ones that get reported.

Don't leave your animal companions out in the cold. Simple tips that will show you care and keep your animals alive. Emil talks with Emily Allen of PETA's CAP program.

If you see an animal out in the cold, contact peta.org.

Keep animals indoors. Freezing temperatures spell extra hardship for “backyard dogs,” who often go without adequate food, water, shelter, or veterinary care. If you see animals left outside without shelter from the elements and are unable to help, note their location and alert authorities immediately. (For information regarding what constitutes adequate shelter, click here.)

In cold weather, you can provide birds and other animals with access to water by filling a heavy nonmetal water bowl (tongues can freeze to metal) and breaking the surface ice twice a day. When weather improves, be sure to remove any food offerings to encourage animals to move on to warmer areas.

Anyone who leaves animals outside to suffer in severe weather may be prosecuted.
