ATHENS, Ga. — Georgia state law allows an individual to break a car window to save a child in distress, but the same protection does not apply when a pet's life is at stake, as one man has quickly found out.

Michael Hammons of Athens was charged with criminal trespassing after smashing the window of a Mustang to free a small Pomerian mix left inside the hot car Saturday in a shopping center.

Witnesses said that while a group of shoppers waited for police to arrive to free the dog, the Army veteran smashed the window, multiple news outlets report.

"I knew there'd be consequences, but it didn't matter," Hammons told WAGA-TV. "Glass, they make new glass every day, but they could never replace that dog."

Deputies said the car's owner, Elantra Cunningham, 22, of Athens insisted Hammons be arrested. Cunningham was cited for leaving the dog in the hot car.

Hammons has admitted to his actions, which he took after he said the dog appeared to be in distress. After Hammons freed the dog, witnesses said he took the pet to a shaded area and gave it water.

"We didn't want to charge him, but he told us he broke the windows and when you have a victim there saying she wants him charged, we had no other choice," said Oconee County Chief Deputy Lee Weems.

people that leave their animals in a vehicle on an even mildly warm sunny day deserve to be beaten to death with a rusty hammer

Someone should lock that dipshit in a hot car with the windows rolled up.

tad excessive don't you think?

I'm not condoning violence on animals but animals aren't people and I see this theme over and over again. I find it ridiculous.

excessive...on the internet.....noooooooo?!!!!

 

 Think of how hot your vehicle is after you've had it sitting out in the sun for just a short time and then consider how hot that poor animal gets.

 

 

Throw on your warmest outfit...insulated coveralls, snow suit, whatever you have and go spend an hour in your car in a hot parking lot....let me know how that works out for you.

I'm with you. But it's an animal not a person.

Animals aren't people, yet people are animals.
