What would you define as "abuse"?

I'd ask the local Animal Services or the Humane Society...

In case you're all wondering, it was bothering me so much I finally called in last weekend.

Good for you. Did you get any help or response?

What happened?

**sirrahved** · 05-16-2006, 11:19 AM

I have no idea if anything has happened. Their space got smaller, and there's still lots of poo. They said they'd be paid a visit, though.

If they are forced to live in thier own excrement, then it may well be criminal neglect or animal cruelty. Hard to say, though, as local laws and their interpretation vary.

Call again about them being forced to live on top of their own feces. Maybe contact the local health department about them having a yard filled with it, too? There's got to be something you can do.
