Many pet owners are straight up irresponsible and it's extremely frustrating because you can't really do anything about it. I had a heroin addict neighbor who neglected her dogs and Animal Control couldn't do anything about it other than send a weak citation via mail only after having a litany of complaints including video footage (lasting over 5 minutes of course) and direct observation. Their hands are seriously tied. These dogs destroyed my fence, would bark for hours at a time because they we're left out all night even in negative degree weather and weren't regularly fed. This happened over the course of two years. One must build a major case including video footage, photos and complaints from multiple neighbors just to get a response and Animal Control will do everything they can to not take a dog away. At the end of the day, it's not the animals fault and Jin Bong shouldn't have shot the dog but Anchorage needs to start holding irresponsible pet owners accountable.
