the nuisence noisy pill head neightbour in out block of flats did a runner on sunday after moving all the stuff out of her flat.
thing is she left her dog and 3 of its 10 week old puppies (the ones she couldnt sell) shut in the kitchen with no food or water. but she left the windows wide open.
on monday i rang the council and the rspca as that kitchen is above mine and i could hear the dog barking and scratching and the puppies wimpering.
my friend had heard them when she was walking her dog and she rang both the council and the rspca on tuesday.
other neighbours in the block had also complained.
the council came out 2day but wouldnt break into the flat untill we said we were going to ring up the local papers.
then an hour later rspca came out and broke into the flat and took the staving dog and pups away. one of the puppies was nearly dead and they were all covered in poop.
how many complaints do they need from people before its serious?

we all think that if we hadnt threatened to go to the papers the dog and the pups would still be in the flat.
and no-one knows where the lass has gone. what will happen to her if the find her?

Just because the RSPCA officers and the Council Officers, dress in a uniform and call themselves 'officers' doesn't mean that they have any more powers than you!
You were not prepared to go to someone elses home and kick the door in, so what makes you think they were prepared to take on this responsibility lightly either?
I take your point, but would you really want everyone having the right to enter YOUR home on ANYBODIES say so?
They have to be sure, I would want them to be sure if it was my home, or even my property. Dog or no dog!

I'm glad you helped those poor animals, who are you supposed to turn to at a time like that as if you had broke the door down then you would have been in trouble.I helped a dog one bonfire night a man across the road was going mad at this poor dog because it was terrified and running around his garden.The dog had got loose from a house because it was terrified of the fireworks.I put the poor animal in my shed as I have 2 dogs of my own. I rang the police the rspca and the council and not one of them would do anything in fact the police told me to let the dog go free.how stupid was that I couldn't believe what I was being told. In the end my husband had a idea went to local pub and ask around we found the owner they were so upset and were very grateful we took him in. It makes you so sick that those people who don't care about their animals can get away with such a thing but they do there seems to be no laws to stop this cruelty.I love my animals and they are all rescued ones at that. I really wish someone in government would do something to help all these poor animals.

I am really please that someone was looking out for those poor animals It must have been heartbreaking to here them and not be able to do anything. I have never heard a good report about the RSPCA. and I have been around dog people for a lot of years.
Let's hope they now have a good home. They will not be returned to the owner but if they are found the will probably pay a fine and be band from owing dogs for some time.

i'm surprised it took the RSPCA so long to deal with the matter although its not surprising about the Council I never know what they do with their time!!!! Poor little pups they must have been terrified. If she is ever found she will be sued for back rent and charged for animal cruelty where depending on the conclusion of her hearing she could get as much as a jail sentence and as little as a fine and an order against her forbidding her to have any animals again.

If they catch her she will probably be taken to court by the rspca. The court will probably ban her from keeping animals for a few years but nobody polices it so she will do what she wants. She may get a fine, who knows. Hopefully they will find her she deserves locking up but that won't happen. I agree that the rspca very rarely act on anything unless the cameras are there, I've phoned them on so many occasions but they were not interested.

i am sorry to say that the rspca only seem to want to know if there's a film crew following them around why can't they be like the animal cops on animal plant they take no s**t they would have got the police and got in and took the dogs then carried an investigation to find the owner come on the rspca get your act together

hi to be honest with you i would still go to the papers with it the rspca say they have the animals interests at heart but i don't understand why when they can help they wont there that many people giving money to them for nothing and you mite also help this woman get what she deserves as the office will have all her details and they will put a warrant out for her arrest you could make a difference to that poor dog because who knows she could do it again one day if you make a stand maybe others will follow..good luck and i hope you do the right thing.

The RSPCA has probably killed them all by now. That's what they do best, put healthy (I mean not dying) animals to sleep. An RSPCA inspector has to put down at least 60 healthy animals in training alone.
Well, it's a para-military organization.
Disgusting that they did nothing.
Couldn't you have thrown in a bit of food or a splash of water or something?

OK, forgive me, but Flat also means Apartment building - right? Then where was the landlord/manager?? He could have and should have opened the door and helped the pups.
Second, 'the council' is the police?? If not, they should have been called. The rspca is legally limited as to what they can do.

Maybe if you HAD gone to the papers, they could've put out an appeal for the owner to get help. A situation needs to get very bad before the council does anything. I know, I live in a council flat myself.
