The man next door.
We never see it, but it's there, it doesn't go away because we choose to ignore it. I lived on Newland street near the old shopping mall, and my neighbor was man to whom I rarely spoke to, but when I did he seemed like a normal man despite his creepy devilish tattoos and his lightly scarred face. But at night, I would hear screeches coming from somewhere in his house, but they were faint, very faint, so I thought it may just be a TV or radio, seeming as he was quite old. This went on for many weeks, until it began to get annoying, because the hours seemed to get longer, and the noises louder. One night I went as close up to my fence as possible in order to hear a little better, and I could just about make out what sounded like barking and howling, wailing even. It was obvious now, he had a dog, or a few, that was unclear, but I had never seen them out of the house before, and why did the noises only come at night? I was sick of the noises so I called the police to investigate. No more than 2 hours later I see 3 dog cages being carried out, along with the man in handcuffs. I followed the vehicle carrying the dogs to the local vet. I got a glimpse of the dogs, one had a scarred face, a missing eye and a missing patch of fur, another with a missing leg, along with small patches of dried and missing fur, and the final dog looking no older than a year, had scars all over its body. The police later informed me of the whole situation, and I later discovered the man was convicted not only of animal abuse, but other accounts of theft and gang relations. I took the dogs in as a foster owner until I found them new owners with suitable homes. But what really got to me, was that out of the man's 10 year sentence, only a year came out of the torture he put those poor loving animals through. Taking the life of an animal, should be punished as such, if any life is taken, be willing to give it back, whether it's a human, or a Dog.
