Definetly writing to the newspapers and getting them to get the word out about the new laws is a first step. But, I wouldn't wait when it comes to the poor thing around the corner. Keep reporting it to the police. Them not knowing about the law is no excuse. They have to enforce the law and punish that cruel owner. Keep at them. Go to council meetings and ask why the police are not enforcing the law. Find out who your animal control person is (if the city does not have one they must contract with another town or something) and keep on the phone with them. Basically you need to make a pest of yourself until they start enforcing the law. Good luck with it! It's wonderful that you want to do something about it! |
