Laws Regarding Dog Neglect

We have a new neighbor <_<

She has a cute little husky puppy. She leaves it outside all day long in a fenced yard while she is at work and trust me its cold up here in Michigan. He whines all day, it breaks my heart. They do have an overhang where he is at on pavement no blanket or anything for him with a very short chain. I peeked around the fence and noticed she had no food or water outside either :angry: Im not sure of abuse laws and how to go about it. Are they anonymous? We always had inside dogs and my samoyed would get cold outside while peeing so this is breaking my heart.

That is definetly neglect. Just call your local animal shelter and tell them. It will be anonymous. If you can't find a local animal shelter, call your police department (not 911, though unless the puppy is in really bad shape) and they can tell you who to call. That is so sad when someone gets an animal that they can't or won't take care of.

Thanks, She is off for the weekend now so I will report it next monday to the humane society. She is a barely new neighbor (two weeks) and already having problems with her. She is also pitching dog crap in our yard which irks my husband badly because she doesnt want it in her yard and we dont have any animals. I think its why she leaves him on a leash so its in a certain area. She seemed nice when we met her but now I realize she is just trash :angry:

I'm sorry you aren't in NY! lol We have the BEST laws on animals!!! Call the ASPCA, sometimes it takes a few calls but yes, something should be done. Animals are people too!

Also, my bf's neighbor did the same thing to their dogs and after the neighbor would go to sleep we would throw cold cut meats at it and i swear we kept that dog alive! not that i'm dropping hints or anything! ;)

oh and yes, totally anonymous!

Please keep us posted!

I would try to get a picture of her doing it and then throw it back. You definately need to do something if you can.

Isn't that against some kind of law, too? I'd start documenting all this stuff now - sounds like you might need it in the future. Might not be a bad idea to mention this to the police. Maybe they can stop by your neighbour's for a chat sometime about all this :)

Thanks Everyone

Well things have changed thankfully. She called over here Monday night and said her 19 year old nephew pitched her dog's poop over her fence (very likely it could have been since we just saw the after effects) and she apologized and offered to clean it up but my husband took care of it, actually pitched on her side that day he noticed it.

We also found out on Monday her nephew had been leaving her dog out as her other neighbor had complained about the dog barking all day while she was at work. I had no clue anyone was there during the day with no car in the driveway and the dog tied up all day. Her nephew had stayed with her for a few weeks but he is leaving on friday.

I have a Husky/blue heeler cross, she is now about 14 years old.... granted its not the same age as the puppy next door but.... I wouldn't automatically feel bad they were outside in the cold, I have to force mine inside when its really cold out, she gets to warm in the house as her coat is really thinck and warm. the no food water issue would be a concern as for the whining depending on how old the puppy is it "could" be lonesome... My youngest dog (I have 3 total) is 11 months and is an american eskimo and for the first few months we had her she would whine anytime she was left alone because she was lonely... if we left her outside with the other dogs she was fine... she loves to come into the house but again as her coat gets so thick this time of year she also loves to be outside, just comes in to pick on the cats and get a toy to take outside and loose in the snow..... I do however have a place out of the worst of the cold and wind for them to be when I am not home and cant get them to stay in the house... Now summertime is a whole different story as we have A/C and they all dearly love to be inside in summer... my guess is wearing a fur coat in 100 degree weather isnt for mild mannered puppies, lol

Animal neglect is:

Statute Summary: A person commits the crime of cruelty to animals if the person:

Fails to provide food, care, shelter

Abandons animal

Transports or confines animal in cruel manner

Injures an animal

Seriously overworks an animal

Intentionally or knowingly tortures an animal

Overworks an animal

A puppy left alone outside could be lonely, hungry, insecure ...cold...hot..whatever

Dogs especially if they do not have a companion, will develop issues - barking, digging, escaping, licking themselves raw, tail chasing, separation anxiety...to name few.

Many dogs once aclimated to weather spend all day outside...we have many cattle dogs and sheep dogs in our neck of the woods who get anxious when INSIDE and want out, even at 30 below...BUT they have shelter from the elements, have built a fur coat adapted to the time of year, food and water. Sheepdogs will sleep with the flock in a sheltered area. Many cattle dogs snuggle into a warm barn and straw bales around them. The key is shelter/food /water. My own dog LOVES the snow and begs to go outside - but she also emerges from her insulated doghouse toasty warm, the kids even comment on how warm she is...and she sleeps inside at night ,and if it is cold and windy, we keep her inside other than walks....

Puppies need companionship - be it human or animal. Think of how kids are vs adults....they crave playtime and interaction...adults not so much.

Glad the self centered nephew is outs there!!

Sandy

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Jane02! Have you had your serum D levels checked for deficiency/sufficiency? What about cod liver oil? Egg yolks can also be a good source of vitamin D.

      Hello, I'm very discouraged. I've been trying to find a safe vitamin mineral supplement brand for months and am tired of testing one after the other and experiencing my typical 'glutening' reactions. I'm really feeling the nutritional deficiencies set in. I'm doing the best I can to get these nutrients from my food, although it's impossible for me to...

      Gluten-Free Diet Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Improved Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis (+Video)

      I worried at one point on my journey whether I had MS, having many of the symptoms myself. However, my symptoms improved dramatically with high dose thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. Thiamine deficiency symptoms overlap with MS symptoms, including changes on brain MRIs. Thiamine deficiency affected my eyes (light sensitivity),...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias!

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      Hello, I'm very discouraged. I've been trying to find a safe vitamin mineral supplement brand for months and am tired of testing one after the other and experiencing my typical 'glutening' reactions. I'm really feeling the nutritional deficiencies set in. I'm doing the best I can to get these nutrients from my food, although it's impossible for me to intake enough vitamin D as I can't have dairy and have insufficient sun exposure in the northern hemisphere. I've tried B Complex from Country Life (certified gluten-free) - horrible reaction. I've tried Metagenics vitamin D tab (certified glute-free) - bad reaction. I've tried liquid vitamin D Thorne and D Drops - reactions were mild since I tried a drop of a drop. I understand there could be other things I'm reacting to in my diet, although my diet/intake is pretty consistent with minimal variables so I do think it's something in these supplements. I understand I could be reacting to the active ingredient vitamin/mineral itself or even the filler ingredients. I tried the vitamin D drops since the only filler ingredient is coconut oil, in some brands, which I know I can tolerate really well on its own - I cook with coconut oil frequently and have no 'glutening' reactions at all. Perhaps I'm reacting to the vitamin D itself, although I eat fatty fish every few days, an entire fillet with no 'glutening' reactions, which contains anywhere between 400-600 IU per fillet so I shouldn't be sensitive to vitamin D. All this to say, I'm desperately looking for at least a safe vitamin D supplement. Does anyone know of a safe vitamin D supplement brand? I'd love to know if there are any supplement brands that have absolutely no gluten (especially in flour form) in their facilities. I've heard of Kirkman having no grains in their facility - I may try this brand. Has anyone reacted to this brand?

I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By trents · Posted

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen1Nc7EtAlJyJbU8EhB89ElCGFPRavEQkTFHv9V2Zh1EMAPRno7UajBpLCQ-1JfC5jKUyzfgsf7jN5L6yfZSgjhnwEbg6KKwWrKeghga8W_CAhEEw9N0.eDBrhYWsjgEFud6ZE03iun0-AEaGfNS1q4ILLjZz7Fs&dib_tag=se&keywords=buckwheat%2Bgroats&qid=1769980587&s=grocery&sprefix=buchwheat%2Bgroats%2Cgrocery%2C249&sr=1-4&th=1 Takes about 10 minutes to cook. Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.
