I looked out of my bedroom window the other Saturday morning to see my nuts neighbours pulling in, in their car. They must have assumed no-one was in to see what they did next: I looked out cos I heard the woman screaming "Get out of the effing car, NOW!" and I assumed it was aimed at one of their kids and I better witness it just in case.
But it was the dog. She hauled it out of the car boot (sedan car with boot, not a 'dog area' at the back of the car). This dog had never been walked or taken anywhere, ever in the 2 years they have lived there so that it was out with them was in itself weird.
She literally hurled it to the floor where the man kicked it hard in the stomach 4 times. I'm 50 odd and this is the worst thing I have seen in my life. They had their toddler stood between them and she watched the whole thing totally unperturbed. Then they went in.
I rang the RSPCA. It turns out, they came out at some point (not that day) but the bastards were out so they helpfully left a calling card. In the time between that and the inspector finally coming out, the neighbours (I heard later) took the dog back and forth to the vets - turned out it had been ill for ages (cancer) presumably they had been ignoring symptoms but now they knew an RSPCA visit was imminent - suddenly it's a pretence of caring for this poor dog.
It was a lovely, seemingly harmless black lab. It was put to sleep about a week later. I know because my son and I heard digging and went to look at the back window - the bloke was digging a one foot deep grave (I kid you not) with a kiddies' seaside spade (nutjob). He dumped the dog in, covered it with a few inches of soil then literally trampled up and down on it.
At this point I assumed he had killed the dog so rang the RSPCA again. They said they'd come out as a priority job and necropsy the dog. But it turned out, the inspector had seen it the day before, heard it had been taken back and forth to the vets in the last week, so assumed caring owners and malicious neighbour. She did tell me when she spoke to me on the phone (they ring you with the 'outcome' if you make a complaint) that a dog can take a real kicking and not have a mark on it. Recently a man locally got prison for kicking a dog in a similar way - it had no mark on it, but they could prosecute because a neighbour had filmed it on his phone.
I said they clearly hate this poor animal - I refuse to believe for a second, seeing the way they treat it, they'd pay out for a vet at all. She said they didn't - it was the PDSA vet so all it would cost them is a small donation.
Bottom line? If you don't film it - it never happened. She said they could have done something if another neighbour or passer by had also seen it. Bad luck my decent neighbour was in the bath and heard nothing.
I've already heard these twats talking about going out to get a puppy and - quote - "not any rescue shit".
Totally upsetting and frustrating. I now go to bed with my phone charged and on the window sill.
