These dogs were failed by more than their owner., The people who work in the vets office after more than one incident involving this clients dogs severely injuring each other, should have, and in my opinion were morally and professionally obligated to report this client to animal control. It is obvious that the dogs are not being properly cared for and essentially abused if they are allowed to continually fight, injure and eventually kill each other. Any vet treating dogs for fighting on numerous occasions who does not report it, is also as negligent as the owner. Christ, 25 visits and nobody did anything except keep accepting the owners money. I would not be proud to be working there.

I'd normally agree, but I don't think AC would consider this abuse. At least not where I live. We used to have a neighbor that had a couple APBT and a couple mutts, one large and one small. There were multiple fights in the backyard and a few vet trips as a result. Another former neighbor, sick of the horrible noises of the fights and scared by the blood on the ground and the dogs, called AC. AC came out, asked what happened, got told the dogs fought, were showed records of the dogs being taken to the vet and then they left. According to AC, as long as the dogs have food, water, vet care, and the dogs aren't at large, there is nothing wrong. Nevermind that the dogs could have been prevented from fighting in the first place by some common sense and some kind of reliable system of separation.

They key there is vet care. The law would have allowed the confiscation of the dogs and charging the owner if the owner didn't take the dogs to the vet, but because they took the dogs in there was no cause (legally) to remove them.
