Right, my missus is a traveller of roma decent, we live in a nice little house on a small estate as do her sister and mother 2 doors up, we share a neighbour, very nice couple who recently had twins. my missus's sister has a husky in the back garden, absolutly stinks and is living in squalid conditions, its even chewed through the fence into our neighbours garden. Animal abuse gets my goat. baaaaaaah. do i...
a: report imediatly to rspca
b: demand the dog be handed over to me
c: give her an ultimatum with 2 weeks to get rid or i'll report her
d: keep my big fat nose out
-
c: give her an ultimatum with 2 weeks to get rid or i'll report her
Give them a chance.
If all else fails, option e: Andywash...

andy wash?

get the poor dog out of there asap if they cant look after it am sure theres someone who will :angry:
-
Is the dog new? Or has it been living like this for a while? Bare in mind its a Husky, and what's needed to look after the breed.
I know it's family, but I would take some discreet pictures of its condition, surroundings and then "have a word".
No disrespect, but they may simply not know how to keep a dog, and need some lessons. Especially for a Husky.
Failing that - and if they tell you to mind your own business - then RSPCA all the way. That's when the pictures come in, as they'll will have evidence to immediately remove the dog.
I own 2 English Springer Spaniels.

tell her you will fight her for her deg or a caravan,if not just punch her right in the nose with your bare knuckles :laugh:

+1 do something quickly cus if don't and something bad was to happen to the dog....your regret it!
Good Luck!

Tell her to get her arse in gear and say if its not up to standards by the weekend then your phoning the rspca and tell her to atleast make it bareable for the dog right now.
if he says she wownt go home and ring the rspca
-
Tough one! Dpn't want to upset the family, but need the best for the animal.
Have you gauged what your other half thinks of how it is being kept? If it's her sister she may have better inroads than yourself and that way you get to stay out of the drama?

absolutely
and we really don't want to upset a gypsies daughter now do we or you'll be bare knuckle boxing before you can say 'periwinkle blue'

these dogs are very very hard work to keep being locked up with send it insane.. quite literally.
you have a moral duty to report the matter.. no one need know where the complaint came from and as for the damage caused.. they have a duty to repair it/ cough up funding to enable you to do so.
at the end of the day even tho pack animals.. this dog cant look after itself and while its not the same thing.. im sure youd be on the case if there was a friend of yours who's kid was constantly shabby in a dirty nappy :undecided:..if you could take care of him/her then why not offer to take it off there hands.. do your research first though.. the dog will possibly need retraining.
does the dog make a lot of noise whilst hes outside? if so maybe a call to the council to complain would start the ball rolling
im not naive enough to think that every dog in the world brings the same excitement when they get older as they did when they were cute and fluffy.. but it in no way deserves this :(
and not everyone is an animal lover.. for some chucking a few scraps is perfectly ok,,,while others would spend silly money on salmon and the best.. NO dont look at me!! lol
c'mon make a difference.. make the dog smile ;)

Other half thinks the same as me, not worried about the family their certainly not going to be a problem. I've said to her time and again, but it's rare that i ever see the dog. I did'nt realise how bad it was! She never walks it and doesn't particularly care either!

No she's had it nearly a year. gorgeous animal and really good natured. I'd have it myself but i know it's too much effort with work, kids, car etc.

either way it's getting reported. is that a sharpe x german sheppard in your sig?
cheers for all the advise, im gonna give her the ultimatum and 2 weeks, cant be more reasonable :angry:
-
well be sure and watch the dog in that time.. no hes a shar-pei pedigree ( unmorphed)
i dont envy you but hope he comes to a caring home such as yours xx
-
Definitely report it and also gather as much evidence as you can photos, videos, log of what's gone on etc if at all possible. The RSPCA need evidence that the dog doesn't have adequate access to food, water, shelter etc to do anything. Unfortunately they can only seriously act if the basic laws surrounding care are broken (e.g. physical abuse, no water etc) rather than if the dog isn't kept in what most people would consider acceptable conditions.
What they can do is visit and try and educate them or maybe get them to sign the dog over voluntarily.
If you don't get anywhere maybe the dog could 'chew through the fence' and 'escape'.
-
together i think me and kitty assume the dog has no food readily available??
gypsies are well known for immaculate morals ..( of course there are exceptions) i think this is a simple case of not understanding rather than lack of due care.. cant belive my whole family are in my lounge talking about this...
take youre time. think..i mean about you taking it on not about reporting it.. gotta be done love..they are not highly desirable dogs with bad habits.. so be cautious xxx

As a dog owner i would say shop her to the authorities straight away.

The sooner the so called 'gypsy' community get of our tv screens and back in their wheeled rabbit hutches the better.... :angry:

My MRS is a "PIKEY" as you so elequintly put it, which means that in your eyes my children are "PIKEY"? Maybe i should send them back to their wheeled rabbit hutches eh? This isn't a gypsy bashing thread, Keep your opinions to your self and STFU.
I told her she had a 2 weeks to sort it out, got quite stressy with her. She had her new boyfreind there with her and all. Hope she's feeling suitably ashamed! I'll give her a reminder next wednesday and if nothings done i'll call the rspca, even if they just give her a warning it'll give her the kick up the arse so she knows how serious it is!

If you don't want an opinion don't ask for one on a forum and then complain when someone says something you don't like and don't shift the emphasis on to your kids, I didn't mention them .

Play nicely please. The OP was asking for an opinion on a family and moral dilemma, not your opinion on Gypsies.
-
Remember the saying, 'Don't tar everyone with the same brush'

So why mention that she is a gypsie? Why not just say his sister in law instead of saying that she is a Romany gypsie and all the controversy that comes with that.
I'll leave it now seeing as I've been told to STFU and called a 'dick'ed' .
-
...I would imagine the description was to give you the full picture of the dilemma as Gypsie families are very tight knit so it's not an easy decision to shop in one of your own.
-
Right, ok I'll STFU then :rolleyes:
-
Anyways, he said they're Roma gypsies, of Eastern European decent.
Not the 'periwinkle blue Pikies' of Snatch infamy.
-
Good on getting her told man - can't of been too easy.
Can choose your friends, but not your family!
-
well done!
it must have been very difficult for you but you deffo did the right thing.. lets hope she acts now :)
-
Deffo the right thing matey, well done. I think a lot of people wouldn't have the balls to face up to someone personally. I think this might be a case of educating someone rather than punishing.

I think what more proberbly annoyed him is that you used the word pikey, which is a derogitory (sp?) term same way nigger is.
anyway well done for standing up, i know ide have a hard time going to someone in the familys house and saying sort it before i get it sorted for you. so hats off to you
