Report of animal abuse

[Olliebaby]

When leaving work yesterday I witnessed a drunken yob beating his dog. It was in a secluded area and only myself and him around. I screamed at him to stop and he turned on me. I hid so I could follow where he would possibly going and saw him enter a block of flats. I then found a securtiy guard in the building next door who said the man is very well known and visits that park about 3/4 times a day, terrorises people and often beats his dogs (!!!??) BUT that the police wont do anything!! When I got home I rang the police who said I was right in doing so, took all of the details and said they will investigate. Now, Im guessing this will just be a case (IF they do see him) that he will just deny it and that will be that. My point is I will NOT give up until this man has his dog taken from him. If nothing is done what else can I do? The police said not to call the RSPCA as it was a matter for them.

Thanks for all your replies. I completely agree, I just cant understand how they can turn a blind eye to this and they wonder why people end up taking the law into their own hands. Im going to carry on though as much as I can, I wont give up on those poor dogs so im back at work this week and will be going to the park strait from work everyday until I can get something on him. the RSPCA and the police disgust me. What a sad world we live in.
