Dogs and cats must be left home to die, but you can keep cool.

Who cares, homeless people go to the mall, library etc. Once again wasting tax payer money.

If u can't afford an air conditioner you probably can't afford a pet.

Would be cheaper to give all the households that "can't afford" to keep cool, a ten dollar fan, a list of public swimming pools, and directions to the beach.
