Try to assess whether it may be neglect by looking at some of the other animals on the property or the property itself. Some common signs of Neglect are:
Lack of Grooming – matted hair, sores, dirt, and may even smell bad
Starvation – starvation is caused by lack of food, improper food, disease, worms, etc.
Poor Living Conditions – the property might have falling down structures, junk/garbage on the ground, filthy living conditions, etc.
ABUSE
It is usually easier to recognize physical abuse when you witness someone kicking, hitting, burning, drowning, etc. the animal. If you see something like this happen, your first impulse might be to confront the abuser. don’t do that unless you are positive a “friendly chat” with that person will improve the situation for the animal. If you can safely take video or photos of the incident, do it. This will create hard evidence for the authorities, help prosecution, and save the animal from further abuse. Also, recognize, if the animals are being abused, the people/children in the home, are probably being abused too.
