I'd report it right away, and I would have said something to the gf there and then, as I absolutely abhore animal cruelty. I'd speak to your brother and tell him that if he doesn't do something about her abuse towards the animals, you'll report her to the authorities.

I wonder how she'd like it if someone was treating her lie she treats those animals.

I will be reporting it when I get home. I've been thinking about it for the last few days and it's really eating away at me. I know in the time I've delayed she's probably beaten him up a few more times! I can't stand the thought of animal cruelty and the fact it's my brother shouldn't make a difference as it happened even before they met (to a much lesser degree).

It makes me so sad. They're wonderful dogs, and would be so much nicer with proper training.

Will let you know if anything happens with it all.

My thoughts precisely. I could not stand by (and have not in the past) when aminals are being treated poorly

I don't get how people can be cruel to animals, it's just not in my nature. The worst I've done is smack my cat gently on the bum for peeing on the floor. I'd swing for anyone who even dared to hurt my kitties.

I can't understand it either. They're lovely dogs and would be very well behaved if she bothered to train them properly. After this she's never allowed near any of my pets.

I just called them. Decided to wait till this morning as I thought I'd speak to my brother first but his responses last night weren't exactly heart warming. Saying that they get threatened all the time if they do something wrong. He also tried to turn it around and say that I'm a terrible pet owner for getting my mum to look after the rats (she offered as she loves them to pieces!) while we went on holiday.
They told me they'll send someone round to have a word. Not sure how much good that will do. I just hope she's in when they go round.

All I can do is try.
