I live way out in the country, and there are some folks down the road who- I'm sure- mistreat their dogs. They only have one or two free in the yard, but there are several tied to barrels and dog houses in the back yard (all of them so thin I could see their ribs!). Or, I think so- there were before these people put up a fence around their house when they caught me looking. I'm afraid they're breeding fighting dogs, but either way those poor things are being mistreated!
The problem is, we've tried calling the police, but they refuse to do anything (although I'm certain there are laws against the way those animals are treated! They won't even see to a complaint about all the night-long barking- noise that disturbes several people). The Animal Control and Animal Shelters in town can't operate outside the city limits, or so they've told us, so I'm at a complete loss about what to do. I want to help those dogs!
