What should I do if I suspect animal abuse in a neighboring household? Is there any way to investigate this and take appropriate action?

If you suspect animal abuse in a neighboring household, you can report your concerns to the local animal protection agency or law enforcement. Anonymously reporting this is a good option if you are afraid of reprisal from the abuser or feel unsafe disclosing identifying information. The Animal Legal Defense Fund has an online tool that provides guidance on how to report suspected animal cruelty. It also provides tips on how to safeguard animals in an abusive home, such as offering supplies like food and litter and encouraging the animals to seek assistance from local shelters.
