Should I have animal control give my brother a warning for hitting his dog?

[Anonymous]

So a few nights ago, I went to my dads for dinner. My sister, and brother were there. My sister brought a girl who she takes care of when her mother is gone. My brother brought his pomeranian shih tzu, So the dog was probably on edge. My sister walked by the dog, and it jumped up and bit her on the leg. I walked in the other room, and I heard the dog yelp, and then heard a slap sound. I didn't know exactly what happned. Well, I called the humane society in my town. This was befrore I knew exactly what happened. They said the couldn't do anything, but I live on the oregon and California border, so they said I could call the humane society in California and see what they could do. I called them and they said that they could pay my brother a visit or just send him a warning in the mail. I decided to talk to my brother first. He said that he grabbed his dog by the scruff, and that he yelped because he was being dramatic. Then he said he slapped him on the but. When I was talking to my brother, he got kind of mad, and said that he really doesn't care about my opinion, and that my opinion is half ass backwards. He also soad that his dog has biten two other people in the past that he didn't know. So should I have the humane society get involved?

It's concerning to hear that your brother hit his dog, regardless of the circumstances. Physical violence towards animals is not an acceptable way to handle behavioral issues or aggression, and can cause serious harm and trauma to the animal.

It's important to prioritize the well-being and safety of the dog in this situation. If you believe that the dog is in danger or being mistreated, it may be appropriate to contact animal control or the humane society to report the incident and request an investigation.

However, it's important to gather as much information as possible and to approach the situation with sensitivity and awareness of the potential consequences. It may be helpful to speak with your brother and try to understand his perspective and the circumstances surrounding the incident, while also advocating for the safety and well-being of the dog.

If you do decide to involve animal control or the humane society, it's important to provide them with as much information as possible and to cooperate fully with their investigation. Remember, it's important to prioritize the safety and well-being of animals and to take action if you believe that they are in danger or being mistreated.

You should have animal control take the dog away from him. Like a spouse or a child, he WILL hit the dog again if given the chance, that's why it's one strike, you're out.

And you already gave your useless answer. Now move on.

Like a child, asking questions when you only want people who agree with you. Smh.
