We report possible abuse/neglect to animal control and way too often they do nothing about it. The US needs to do better.

I think the laws could be completely overhauled, but honestly, education and awareness would protect sooooo many animals. The majority of owners want the best for their pets but purchased them without knowing anything about being an animal owner. Abuse and neglect are obviously different situations and I'm with you on wishing there was more that could be done. It's so disappointing and sad.

I totally agree. These poor animals deserve better. The government just selectively hears what they want.

Honestly so alarming. My heart breaks for the animals. The government should really step up and do something.

It is so depressing. I can never get a hold of animal control in the town I work in and the sheriff's department turns a blind eye. I don't get it.

I couldn't agree more. Seems like the protection granted for these poor animals are just for aesthetic purposes. You know, just so that people can say that US is showing concern for every living thing in its soil.

Yess! It breaks my heart so much. I really think there needs to be so many more qualification checks when it comes to people buying animals

It breaks my heart. I love animals so much it breaks my heart to see them suffer. Why get a pet if you can't take care of it

Yes I called in about one of my neighbors dog fighting. I was in a really uncomfortable situation because people get aggressive when you confront them about things like that

I know right? Even the most severe cases are not acted upon. It is really frustrating.

Out of three reports, only one was acted upon. It was even dismissed half way. I don't know what to do anymore.

I’m a very experienced veterinary assistant who has been doing this job for about 4 years in total however because of my skill level I would say I am more of an unlicensed technician. I’m looking for input on what I should ask for a raise.

Any helpful advice?
