Woman Ponders About Reporting Her Roommate Who Owns A Dog But Is Negligent Toward Its Needs
Should you report dog owners who neglect their pets? This is a question that many pet owners face, and the answer is not always clear.
While it is important to ensure that neglected animals receive the help they need, it can be difficult to know when to step in and report a situation. For example, some people tend to think that Greyhound owners are starving their dogs when, in fact, these creatures are naturally thin.
But there are other owners who really neglect their dogs. In those cases, it's best to trust your gut.
If it looks like the dog is being neglected, emaciated, constantly chained up, or exhibited signs of physical abuse, then it's important to speak up and report the situation. As pet owners ourselves, it's our responsibility to advocate for the well-being of all animals, even if it means making a tough decision.
And who knows, you could potentially save a furry friend from a terrible situation. So let's do what we can to protect our four-legged companions and keep them happy and healthy.
Recently, a Redditor named OkTown8207 wanted to ask for advice via the "Am I The A**hole?" (AITA) community. She noticed that her roommate was confining her roommate's dog in a small crate most of the time.
A concerned Redditor needed some advice from an online community, so she decided to ask the AITA subreddit.
OkTown8207She explains the situation.
OkTown8207The dog isn't potty trained. It rarely goes out for a walk with the roommate.
OkTown8207The poor dog is craving for attention.
OkTown8207With all the unfortunate things she has been witnessing, the original poster (OP) decided to turn to Reddit.
OkTown8207A lot of Redditors almost had the same answer as this post.
devabbi, OKTown8207The OP knows what she needs to do. All that's left is to take action.

Someone was even willing to kidnap the dog and bring it to a home where the poor creature will be loved.

She'll feel better knowing that she made an effort to save the dog.

Why do people choose to own dogs only to neglect them?

The OP is unsure if her efforts will have good results.

Calling the authorities is still the right thing to do.

She can't report the situation to the landlady for this reason.

Why allow dogs to stay neglected when they can end up in a loving home?

The roommate is not willing to let go of the dog, even if she doesn't have time to properly care for it.

If the cage is too small, it could cause health problems for the dog.

Better save a living being than avoid conflict.

Of course she'll be mad. But she needs to realize the intentions behind the OP's actions.

Finally, the OP did the right thing.

Confronting the owner may feel uncomfortable, but it's important to remember that they are harming not only their pet but also their community. Neglected dogs can easily become aggressive and pose a danger to people and other animals.
Plus, who wants to live near a neglectful pet owner anyways? Just like the OP, let's all do our part to help protect our furry friends and create a safe and responsible community for both pets and humans alike.
