POLL: Should penalties be stricter for pets without shade or water in extreme heat?

SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio Animal Care Services is enforcing city laws requiring outdoor pets to have shade and fresh water, especially during extreme heat warnings.

If it is too hot for owners to be outside comfortably, it is likely too hot for their pets as well. Violations can result in significant fines, and pet owners should provide animals with protection from the sun and a reliable supply of clean water.
