Bringing pets inside during cold weather is not only life and death but also the law
SUMMARY: Cold temperatures can be harmful to animals, so it is crucial to bring them inside to warm up. Leaving them outside in the cold can lead to health issues such as frostbite, and it is also against the law in Mississippi, with potential fines and imprisonment. Veterinarians advise bringing animals inside and providing them with warm shelters and heat lamps. It is important to take care of animals in cold temperatures for their well-being and to avoid legal consequences. This advice comes from meteorologist Gabe mayor in Fulton, Mississippi.

With cold temperatures continuing over the next few days, it is important we take care of our furry friends.
