TW: unsure if it’s animal abuse but I’ll put the tag here anyway.
For the past 3 to 4 months, my neighbours puts his dog outside at least 3 times a day. This adorable shiba will whine and howl throughout the day, especially at night. There are times when my neighbour will put his dog outside at 2am where literally everyone in the neighbourhood is trying to sleep. I live on the 3rd floor of my apartment and none of my neighbours have heard the dog so far. I went to investigate and saw that he was chained in their backyard. As a dog and animal lover, this whole situation pissed me off. I cannot confirm if this is animal abuse but the wails are so obnoxious I am shocked no one has complained or called the police.
Now my question is, as an obvious gaijin living out here, what is the best thing to do? Should I knock on their door? Should I go straight to the police? I’m really worried about the health and condition of this poor animal.
