Why does the poor dog have to suffer?

Question

A dautson lives just down from me. The owner has had complaint after complaint filed against her for abusing her precious dog. All in our apartment complex love the dog but he suffers greatly. The dog warden has came at least six times and the baby is never taken away. He can no longer walk, he is skin and bones, and he cannot control his bowels well. She kicked him to cause the beginning of his problems. He helpers nudge him impatiently to get him to hurry to get his job done. It is now to the point where he has to be taken out on a sled because he can no longer walk. The warden was over again yesterday and did not take the suffering dog away. I live in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Do we not have any way to get the baby help and let him go to dogie heaven because of his suffering and pain?

Answer 1

I'm very sorry to hear about this. No animal deserves to be treated with cruelty.

If your Animal Control Officer's are not doing their jobs, and it behooves me as to why they are letting this animal suffer and not taking action, it might be best if you were to call the police and see if they will come out and take a report. Sometimes if the police see this abuse, they will force the hand of the Animal Control Officer and make them take action.

If that fails, then contact your local SPCA office and see if they can advise you on a course of action to take.

If you really want to get extreme and have some fun in the process, you can certainly call PETA ( People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals ). You can find their website online. They will have someone out there in a heartbeat and cause all kinds of fuss. It might be entertaining to watch your neighbor squirm, and it will also get the dog rescued.

Best of wishes to you, and prayers for the dog.

I can't believe, they came out that many times, and did not remove that poor dog. Where they blind at the shape that it's in? I would definitely call the police, and tell them everything. If they don't do anything about it, I bet your local news station, can do something about it. That poor dog, needs to be removed for abuse purposes, and fast, before it ends up dead. Normally, if you get the news station, involved, they can take action, and get the dog removed and treated by a vet, then adopted into a good home, where it will be treated with love. No animal deserves, to be abused. God only knows what she does to the poor thing behind closed doors. If we don't help these animals, then who will? God Bless You for doing what you can for this poor little guy!

Call the ASPCA and your local police department, I live in michigan and I know for sure that constitues animal cruelty, and there is no reason that dog should not be removed from the home, that animal control officer should be kicked. If that doesnt work, I'd call your local news station, I'll bet they would take on this story and then the law enforcement would have to act.

Answer 4

If I were you I would call the Michigan SPCA and tell them EVERYTHING! They will do what they can to correct the problems that you have discribed. It also sounds to me the the "dog warden" and his people need to look for new jobs! as they can't do their's correctly, it's beyond sad, it's pathetic that they refuse to take the dog away from a person that obviously hates dogs and should never have one EVER again.

Answer 5

is there a pet shop or vet clinic nearby that accepts doggy residents? if not, you may report it ti some animal agency. they may be able to help.

meantime, how about antibiotic and anti-inflammatory shot for the dog?

but if you want the easiest, painless way to take him to dog heaven, have him inhale carbon monoxide from car exhaust...

mercy is called for, certainly!
