Jennifer Beals has been receiving a lot of negative attention when someone spotted her dog locked inside a car with the windows crack open. After the whole incident was caught on camera, people started to label Beals as an animal abuser, which she found offensive.
On Wednesday, the actress went out to pick up some laundry when a man confronted her about the illegality of leaving a dog in a hot car.
People were quick to bash Beals after seeing the encounter, but she told Global News that everything was blown out of proportion.
“I have loved dogs my whole life. They’ve been in my life since the day I was born. Every dog I’ve had has been a rescue,” explains Beals.
She promises that she would never intentionally put an animal in harms way and she believed that she didn’t that Wednesday.
Beals said that the temperature was a little cool in the morning. “I, and others, were wearing jackets. I rolled all four windows down and left the car for five minutes to pick up laundry, my car was visible to me the entire time.”
Although she values the people that were concerned and appreciates their courage, she says that they were “barking up the wrong tree.”
