You – yes, you! – can be a hero to neglected and abused animals. But there’s a right way to do it, and that does not involve sneaking onto a neighbor’s property and stealing their dog or cat. Learn how to do it real legal-like in this episode.
In this episode of Stuff You Should Know's "Short Stuff" segment, Josh and Chuck break down what you should actually do if you spot an animal in distress—and spoiler alert, breaking into someone's yard to rescue it isn't the answer. They explore the legal landscape around animal rescue, including the rare loophole that lets you smash car windows in certain states if a pet is trapped in a hot vehicle, and share what steps you can take to report animal abuse or neglect to the proper authorities. Chuck even throws in a heartwarming personal story about rescuing an emaciated dog left behind by a moving family.
