The dog who was locked in a car at Six Flags Magic Mountain, rescued and then lost has been found and returned to its owner.
For those who have been following the curious case of the dog who was locked in a car at Six Flags Magic Mountain, rescued from the car and then lost by staff officials, there is a new update. And that update is that the dog, Malibu, has been found, and returned to its owner.
The Examiner cites a CBS report that Malibu's owner, Shalanon Brooks, tweeted that her dog had been found and was returned to her.
The fact that the dog was returned to Brooks, who made the executive decision to lock her dog in the car, has outraged many animal advocates.
Animal advocates say that Brooks should be brought up on charges of animal cruelty in accordance with California's law, which "prohibits leaving animals in an unattended car if...by doing so...you endanger the health or well-being of the animal." Soaring hot temperatures that lead to exhaustion, heat stroke and other conditions are deemed to be cruelty.
What do you think of the fact that Malibu was found? Moreover, do you think that Malibu should have been returned to her owner? Or should the dog be taken away and Brooks be brought up on animal cruelty charges?

She is a heartless,careless idiot. YES, she should be charged and not allowed to have the joy of pet ownership ever again. IT WAS A CRIME. NO,she should not have gotten the dog back. Come on people, we need to do better at training the PEOPLE.
This is a no-brainer! Has everyone lost their mind?!! Disgusting! Of course she should be brought up on animal cruelty charges!!!!!!
She not only is an idiot, SHE BROKE THE LAW, and that fact cannot be disputed. Can Magic Mountain file polic charges?
That the dog was returned to that "person", and I use that term lightly, is reprehensible!! There's NO way she deserves to have this nor any other animal. She should be charged with abuse/cruelty to an animal, pay a HEFTY fine, and resign herself to the fact that she is, in fact, an animal ABUSER!!
Yes, her SERVICE dog...so much money involved in training them!! And volunteers, some of whom I've had the honor of knowing. She should have to sit her but at home, and the dog removed and given to someone who is capable of loving and appreciating it.
I'm disgusted at what has happened!!
What bothers me is that this is her "service" dog. If it is so important that she have the aid of the dog, it never should have been left in the car. She's an idiot for posting that she got the dog back because good, animal advocates won't rest until charges are brought against her. It is never okay to abuse an animal...even if you think you're not doing it.
Give the owner some water and lock her in a car!!!!
