Dilemma! Gypsies, Dogs, Neighbours and moral fibre!

[Roverdose]

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

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 

[The Mighty Elvi]

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 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.

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?
