That is just terrible, my neighbors have a few dogs and one of them is stark raving mad and it's the owners kids fault. That dog has been run over, beaten, abused and lord knows what all... he chases every car that moves out here and he's been run over and a back leg broken and didn't even go to a vet then. The oldest son, who seems to be about 9-10 or so, he beats the poor things with sticks, bats, kicks the crap out of them and uses whatever he can find to hurt that dog. I've taken pics of it, called animal control and all of it, nothing is ever done. They have come and picked her up a few times and taken her in only for her to show back up out here within 48-72 hours. It's just scary and spooky how they treat those dogs and no one can do a damn thing about it.

HOWEVER, I had a sick horse I had separated from the herd because we didn't know at the time what was making her sick, so she was pulled and brought out in the yard so as not to make the rest ill - I was gone to get a shot from the vet's office while she was on her way from the other direction out here - in the meantime, the old bat across the road called animal control and they couldn't get out here fast enough and wanted and made me go thru 90 days of observation because I had a SICK horse and was getting her vet care.

I just don't get how some can get by with things so terrible it's hard to watch while people that are trying to take care of their animals are labeled as cruel... it's just crazy. Some people shouldn't even have animals, kids or anything else.
