Are there agencys who deal with animal abuse in northern Vt. other than VSP and HS.? Horrible death !?

This week my girls called to tell me there dads dogs had been killed by a neighbor. He pierced them repeatedly dwith a pithfork until death occured. Humane society never even called me back. State police are investigating but said the owners cooperation would be needed and this is unlikely. I know how that sounds but they all take the law into their own hands in this area.No one reported it besides me because they are all afraid of retaliation from the killer. I can't get this picture out of my mind.My girls are grown but quite upset. Any ideas? I think the same should happen to the killer.
