[Barefoot]

I feel very strongly that no-one has the right to abuse other vulnerable members of society. Including animals. I could never condone this behavior or "look the other way". I would try to gently engage the person in conversation and understand the behavior. If he told me to mind my own business, I wouldn't. I would never stand by and watch a child or a senior or an animal suffer abuse.

If I see a dog or a child locked in a hot car, I go in the nearest store and have the owner paged. If I can't find the owner, I call the police. They will get involved. I know a lot of people would think I'm nutty. That's OK. In my humble opinion, vulnerable members of society need our protection.
