What should I do if I think my brother's family is mistreating their pets?
How do you know that they're abusing their pets?
My brother told me about it.
That is horrible to have animals with such cruel owners. Now that you've heard about this, why aren't you trying to bring them to justice? These poor animals will only keep getting harmed if you don't have the courage to call the police on them.
My brother won't ever speak to me again if I turn them in.
I know you're in a difficult situation, but it's important that you stop the abuse of these innocent animals. Reporting this abuse is the right thing to do and you won't be able to live with yourself if you don't.
