Dear Guy, Thanks for the info. May I make a suggestion: Should you hear anything that resembles a dog being maltreated again, will you post it on here as it happens. With an address. Then one could just come past the house and say one heard it from the road and confront the person. It's just horrible to know that it might happen again and that the creature has to suffer before it can be dealt with in the "due course".

The SPCA officer had said to us beforehand that there is a due process to follow involving compulsory vet assessment which if not complied with results in measures such as seizure. I was not present when they were with the neighbours and so I'm unaware of what action was taken. Their lines are closed for the weekend, I called their Cruelty hotline the next morning but they cannot deal with enquiries on that line. So I am unable to find out what action is underway until they open again tomorrow and I shall post a comment after finding out. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Observatory Neighbourhood watch" group.
