If you suspect animal cruelty, you need to contact law enforcement. Don't worry if you can't "prove" your claim. It is the police's job to do a welfare check when animal cruelty is suspected. If you can, document times and dates of the abuse or of animals left outside without access to food, water, and/or shelter. Photos and videos will help the police when they make contact with the owner.
