Thank you for your interest in PETA’s window sticker to help protect your animal companions! Summer means fun in the sun, but it also means rising temperatures, especially inside parked cars. We all like to take Rover along on fun summer outings, but this can be a fatal mistake. Every year, countless dogs die from overheating inside hot cars. Dogs need you to speak up for them when the temperature is rising and the car doors are locked. Place this removable decal on your car window, and remind drivers that in hot weather, dogs should be left at home.

I tried to follow the link but just got a "not found" message.
 
Why does PeTA advocate leaving your dog at home rather than putting the dog on a leash, taking the dog out of the car, then tying the dog to a bumper? Fear of dog-knapping?
 
That would be almost as bad as leaving them in the car.

The dog would probably be scared, being in a busy parking lot with strange people passing by, and possibly being cruel/abusive to the dog.
The parking lot ground would be too hot to stand on, on a hot day, not to mention uncomfortable to sit or lay on for long.
The dog could get loose and get hit by a car in the parking lot, get lost, or be stolen.
A stray dog could come along and attack them and they wouldn't be able to get away.

Thanks. These all make sense.

(I've never owned a dog.)
