Have you ever witnessed an act of animal cruelty? Did you report this to the authorities?!
Answers:
I belong to a group who goes out every weekend to care for chained outdoor dogs!. I have seen collars grow into necks, ribs you can count, 2 foot chains, no doghouses summer or winter, no food, no water, dogs who have obviously been fought, critical eye infections, ears bitten off by flies- you name it!. And since in Michigan there is no law regarding chaining a dog 24/7, and what little laws there are aren't enforced, I have seen more ongoing cruelty than I care to remember!. We report to Animal Control Officers, Humane Societies, police departments- everyone says it's someone else's job!. So we do the best we can, and try to talk the owners to surrendering the dog to us!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
It depends on what you mean by animal cruelty!. I live in rural Texas and a lot of animals are killed because they are not wanted!. Possums, coyotes, and snakes are killed so that they are not a threat to pets or livestock!. I really doesn't do any good to report it to the authorities because Texas law allows for animals to be killed (especially coyotes) that are a "threat" to livestock, domestic animals, or people!.
Thankfully, I've never actually witnessed someone harming one of their pets!. I can't really imagine someone that would go to the trouble of owning a pet just to abuse it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Once I was at a gas station and there was a dog barking at a trailer next to it, some big guy came out and raised his fist at the dog!. I jumped out of the car and yelled "Don't you dare hit that dog!" In what some call my "mom voice" that pops out occasionally!. The guy looked at me for a few seconds then went back inside!. There wasn't anything to report other than a fist being raised so I just hoped and prayed that the dog was ok after I was gone!. also when I was a teen I had some associates who were mentally cruel to their dog Sarah, I kept going over there to give her love and to try to talk them into giving her to me but they always laughed and refused!. One day I came over and she wasn't there, they were laughing and said they dumped her on the side of the road!. I saw her dead the next day on the side of the road!. It will haunt me forever that I didn't do more to get her out of there!. So now if I ever see anything like that again I will definetly do more, reporting it or even stealing the animal if it came to it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Sadly I have witnessed animal cruelty!. There are people in my neighbourhood who are the meanest people I have ever encountered!. I hate to see people kicking their dogs like a piece of dirt, or the next door neighbour family keeping rabbits and 'forgetting' to feed them!.
One family in my villlage is banned from keeping animals again because they left their dog tied up outside in the summer!. No food or water for 2 weeks!. The dog became very malnourished, thirsty and passed away!. News of the dog's death spread around the village where I live!. That family live behind where I live, and they are the loudest, most foul mouthed people I know of!.
It brings a tear to the eye to think of such sickening acts of cruelty!.
I've literally just fed my companion bunny, Thumper!. He loves food, bless him! Sometimes he likes to eat cabbage!. I'm sure if you saw him you would say ''Aww!'' ^_^Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yeah I did!. I was in front of a grocery store and it was summer, an unusual hot summer for where I live!. There was that car and a dog was in it, no window open, no water for it to drink!.!.!.I first went into the supermarket and asked the cashperson to please make a proclamation, that was done but no reaction!.!.!.
So I called the police!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

My old neighbors didn't feed their puppy!. You could see his bones!. I got my mom to feed it once but soon after we stopped seeing him!. My brother said that he saw the neighbor's boyfriend burring something in the woods behind our houses!. I felt like we should have reported them even though the puppy was dead because they also had a cat but it seemed to be in better health!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I did when I was little but I didn't call the authorities
I was really young tho
It was a horse that my neighbor had and they would hit to make it do what they wanted!. and I can still see it it was really disturbing and took me a long time to get over itWww@FoodAQ@Com

I think horse racing and rodeos are cruel, but the "authorities" wouldn't agree with me!.
As a young child I once saw my grandmother use boiling water to kill a rat that she'd trapped!. It made me sick, but there was nothing I could do about it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I have been very lucky in the fact that I have not 'witnessed' animal cruelty in real life!.
I am however; an advocator for animal rights!.
If I saw anything that looked strange: Yes, I would report it immediately!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I have seen someone bind a cat by all fours and place it in a barrel, then proceed to roll the barrel across the street!.
I saved the cat, and punched the kid in the face, never reported it to the police though!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
