I have almost the same story, but to do with reporting neighbours for animal cruelty.
They had a (too young) dog who was new mum, with three puppies, never off the chain, no water, and feed scraps every other day or so...full of fleas and hacking cough. The 'authorities' asked me questions like...did the dog have shelter?, yes it did, did I see it get feed?...well yes, because I would throw food over the fence to her, and did it have water?, not all the time, and had I spoken to the neighbour about it?...well NO, I was too scared to. Well they called back after a week's ? investigation and said, as the dog had shelter, food and water...they had too many other serious cases to deal with and they were not going to take it any further....
Sometimes words fail me!
