A lady in the town where I live has greyhouds - I think she shows them. She lives in a tiny house with a tiny garden.
A few weeks ago, she bought 8 greyhound puppies. These are kept in a shed in her garden. It's not a tiny shed, but probably about 5' x 8', IMO, not big enought to keep 8 greyhounds in.
These puppies are in the shed all day, apart from a few minutes romp around the (tiny) garden each day. The noise from them is indescribable, and the smell as you walk past makes you gag!
I've rung the RSPCA about them, along with several others, and all they say is "monitor it for a few weeks". This has already been going on for over a month.
We contacted the RSPCA, thinking that they would care that a bunch of puppies were living in squalor, bringing themselves up with barely any human contact, not having any socialisation, so in all probability, they will end up nasty dogs through no fault of their own.
The owner is a strange old woman who has had harrassment charges against her for being very unreasonable with her neighbours, so talking to her about it isn't an option.
Next step is environmental health, but AIBU to think that the RSPCA should have dealt with this, and not passed the buck (although they usually do this, so why should I be surprised and disappointed in them

AIBU?
to think that the RSPCA is being totally irresponsible?
