Tampa Strip Clubs: Child and Animal Protection Groups Is…
August 28, 2009Clearwater, Fla. – Following news reports that a man left two children, ages 3 and 4, in his car while he visited a Clearwater strip club Sunday night, PETA and KidsandCars.org are issuing a joint warning: No one, including kids, cats, dogs, or any other animals, should ever be left alone in a car, even if–as in this case–the temperatures outside seem moderate. One mistake can cost lives and also change lives forever. The groups point out that many children and animals left alone in cars aren’t as lucky as the two children who were removed from the car in Clearwater unharmed. PETA and KidsandCars.org formed their partnership last September in an effort to stop the rash of deaths that occur every summer when children and animals are left in hot cars. Based in Leawood, Kan., KidsandCars.org is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing injuries and deaths of children involved in nontraffic, vehicle-related events, including being left alone in a hot car.
