Chihuahua Dies After Being Left Inside Car in Sweltering Heat

Posted on Sep 06, 2007

You can’t ask, “What was she thinking?” because she either didn’t or couldn’t.

KXAN News in Austin reported Sept. 5 police arrested Joyce Stookesberry for shoplifting at a Wal-Mart in San Marcos. When police reached her car, they found six adult and nine Chihuahua puppies inside. The dogs were soaked in their own urine and had no water to drink in mid-90-degree heat. The temperature on the inside was well over 100. One of the dogs died in the pressure-cooker but the rest somehow survived.

Act Was Criminal Offense --- Texas Penal Code

According to the Texas Penal Code, Statute 42.09, animal cruelty is defined as “the person intentionally or knowingly fails unreasonably to provide necessary food, care or shelter…abandons unreasonably an animal…transports or confines an animal in a cruel manner…kills, seriously injures, or administers poison to an animal without legal authority.

The statute defines "cruel manner" as that which causes or permits unjustified or unwarranted pain or suffering to the animal.
