Its pretty late. I'm about to hit the sack. But before I do. I wanted to make a quick post about a very serious issue...that really pisses me off. Maybe you guys can help me out with this one. If there's anyone well-versed in the law, maybe you can offer some advice, what to do in a situation like this. Here goes.
I was coming out of the 711, with my coffee and I crossed the street to wait at the bus stop. Anyways, the bus is taking 20 minutes or more to arrive, meanwhile I'm just standing there staring at the 711 across the street. This really young couple.A fat, young ugly dumb girl and guy are walking to stand right outside the 711 with a little, young pup of a dog on a leash. Really cute, lively, energetic golden retriever pup. They stand around the outside of the 711, trying to decide what to do, where to go, obviously talking about it for five minutes. Then, they decide something.
This is the part that pisses me off. They finally come to a decision to get something in the 711. Meanwhile, I'm suspecting nothing. The dog is a little energetic. Keeps wanting to go here and there, so the guy takes the leash and starts tying him up to the post.
The young pup is obviously loyal and runs up to the guy. The guy slaps the pup's head really harshly, in a very angry and very annoyed way. as if you're swatting at an annoying insect.
The pup seemed phased for a second. Then the guy moved closer to the post to fasten the leash tighter around the post. And then for no apparent reason, while the pup was doing nothing at all, standing on all fours and wagging his tail. The guy clearly and no I'm not mistaken, the guy clearly kicked the dog in his midsection. Really hard. For NO REASON AT ALL. And it wasn't a playful kick either. It was a brutal one.
I'm witnessing this from across the street. My first gut reaction was to go across the street and confront this guy whom was taller than me and the dumb fat chick. The dumb chick didn't say anything. She was right there and she clearly saw it but didn't nothing at all. She just sat her fat ass on the curb.
They were both young. Younger than their 20s. 18 or 19. Confront them and start wailing on them. Give them a really loud piece of my mind.
But sure. Say that I did do that. I walk across the street and say hey, wtf you doing?! really loud. What does that accomplish? They simply say fuck off. its not your dog. We can do what we want with it. We own it! Its our dog! Beat it! Get the fuck out of here! Leave us alone! Go get your own dog!
What I'm asking is. According to the law, if I'm witnessing this. Is there anything in the law that states that if I witness some sort of physical abuse inflicted upon an animal and I call the police and give them my testimony of what I just saw this couple do with the pup; what would the police be able to do upon a situation like this?
I mean. Even if they confiscated or removed the dog from their possession and took it to the pound. At least it has a chance at being out of their cruel, abusive hands and in the care of more caring owners.
Say for example, I witness a mother physically beating up on her little 4 year old kid. Same thing, same situation in my opinion. A defenseless, weaker kid who can't defend himself or call for help, and is dependent upon the abuser? A defenseless, weaker animal who can't defend itself or call for help, and is dependent upon the abuser?
Witnessing this guy slap his puppy and kick it in the midsection is probably not the only time he physically beat this young puppy. Obviously he physically abused it many more times when I wasn't there to witness it.
Talk about feeling helpless.
When I see this, do I just stand there and watch? Does the law state anything about witnessing a crime in progress like this? Or does the law even recognize this is a crime, at all?
