I’ve been tempted to when I saw a boxer left in a vehicle under the heat of the sun with the windows fully rolled up. I mentally gave the owner ten minutes to show up before I called the cops, and they almost literally showed up at the last second. Wanted to give them what for, but didn’t want the cops called on me.
you can always call animal control (it’s the same non-emergency number, in point of fact.)
My experience has been that the animal control officers are absolutely animal-people, and they’ll come out and see what’s what. If they do go in, they usually take the animal with them and they leave some paperwork saying what happened and where they can get the doggos. (if… they can get the doggos. Once they decided it was absolutely animal abuse and they would have to go to court first… I had to go give testimony there because they didn’t plead out, as the security guard that called that in. 110 inside their crate, which was wrapped in a blanket.)
