OMG. . I could hardly stand to read all of this, especially with a BC pupper . . what a horrible, disgusting family! Ick. I'm really sorry you have to have those people as neighbors . . I agree, if ACO doesnt follow through, I'd take them. Actually, I would've probably taken them the second I saw that scumbag beating the poor babies! Have you tried to throw food over or some water?. . do they look emaciated?

I would contact people to do a home check ASAP. Its good that they're atleast getting back to you about it! I *really* hope these people pay for what they're doing, soon. Definitely keep pushing it and filing complaints, and try to get him on video.
