I don't make many topics but seeing as quite a few of you guys are sensible (at times) i could do with a bit of advice really.

Basically, a house in my road got put up for rent a while back, a young couple moved in and all was fine and dandy until the week afterwards they moved their dogs in. Fast forwards a year or two, the lad who lives there has gone to prison for a second time, the girl is never in the house and the dogs are left for hours on end unsupervised barking their heads off.

It's got to the stage where i'm so wound up by the situation that i would quite happily smash the fury little [Poor language removed] ****ing heads in despite actually being a dog guy. Unfortunately, the lad seems to be connected to a few heavy hitters, i'm not worried about any comeback in truth but could do without starting a war.

I spoke to a lad i know who works with the Police, he said there's **** all they can do. My parents have spoke to the council and although they've recieved numerous complaints from other neighbors they haven't been out once to do anything about it, apparently all there is to do is have sound monitoring equipment fitted to the house and then take them to court which is a major ball ache and we don't usually deal with the authorities.

Has anyone else experienced this kinda bollocks before and if so how did you handle the situation, i've got a bad temper when pushed too far and i feel like giving the lad a good ****ing smack for treating us like [Poor language removed] but he's the type to get backup so i haven't done so yet.

What should i do?

P.S FinnFann do you club dogs by any chance?
 

If you're saying the dogs are being left for very long periods on their own then i'd give the RSPCA a call, worst case scenario they'll get a knock on the door.
 

Defo phone rspca, if they class it as mistreating the dogs they could get them impounded, possibly rehoused. But they don't deserve to be poisoned. Also try writing to the council and get some neighbours to sign the letter.
 
RSPCA if the dogs are being neglected or mistreated.......

[h=2]Are you concerned about the welfare of an animal?[/h]To report a mistreated, neglected, injured or distressed animal, please use our online enquiry service My RSPCA.

Or you can call our 24-hour cruelty line on 0300 1234 999.

Read our cruelty checklist to help you identify the information we may ask for when you contact us.


[h=1]Reporting cruelty checklist[/h]
[h=2]You can make a real difference[/h]As a direct consequence of public action, hundreds of successful RSPCA prosecutions are made each year and thousands of animals are saved from further suffering.

If in doubt always contact us and set your mind at rest.

[h=3]Read our checklist[/h]Take a note of what you've seen, using the checklist below, and then call our 24-hour cruelty line 0300 1234 999. You will be asked to give a detailed description of what you have seen or heard, so be ready to give the following information.


  • Your own name, address and telephone number for our records.
    It is RSPCA policy to treat all complaints in the strictest confidence. Your name will not be disclosed without your permission, but the RSPCA inspector will need to contact you if you want to know about the result of his or her investigation. Please note that this may only be when the investigation has been concluded.
  • The date, time and place of the offence.
    Photographs showing the cruelty involved may provide vital evidence in a prosecution case. If by any chance you have a camera to hand and it is safe for you to use it, please do - mention this to the controller who handles your call.
  • Our controller will need to ask you a series of questions about the animal(s) involved to establish the full situation.
    These will relate to what you have seen in relation to the animal's environment and its bodily condition. The RSPCA believes that the basic welfare of all animals must take into account the 'Five Welfare Needs'. These are:

    - freedom from hunger and thirst
    - freedom from discomfort
    - freedom from pain, injury or disease
    - freedom to express normal behaviour
    - freedom from fear and distress.
  • If known, the name(s) and address(es) of the person(s) involved.
  • The names and addresses of any witnesses.
  • The registration number and description of any vehicle involved.
 
That's a shout Rediy mate, i'll give it a whirl.

It's sly on the dogs really, they're pitbulls and don't get the excercise they need as a breed.
 

Ring your local council, and also send an anonymous letter saying you will report them unless they sort it out, I had the same problem I sent a letter and the barking stopped.
 
I was going to say, kick the back garden/yard door in and let them escape...but if they're pit bulls you cant do that I suppose. Good for you, but not anyone in the neighbourhood.

Maybe they're illegal breeds? Worth a shot.

Phone the local council and lodge a noise complaint. If you leave your contact details an anonymous will be sent to the household stating a complaint has been made, you will also receive a letter including a log book which needs to be completed with every noise oocurence; after 2 weeks this is return to the council and they will, if they believe it constitutes a nuisance, take the matter further with recording equipment etc.

If you ring the council and refuse to leave your contact details then a letter will be sent to the household and that'll be that.

If their house is rented via a housing association then many councils have inter-agency agreements set-up and eviction can be considered dependent on the nuisance
