Answer :

answer:I am very bold and not easily intimidated. I would confront them on the spot, call the police and find a way to detain them until the law arrived. I do not carry firearms but yep, I would have no problem drawing on them if I did. I would attempt to detain them in whatever manner I was able and would hope I would get assistance from passerby. If there were any potential implements about that could be used as a weapon, a big stick, board, pipe, buckets, trash cans, rocks, whatever, I would not hesitate to use physical force if necessary. I would also make sure I got a good description of them and any vehicle if they fled. I am passionate about animal abuse and if I were to witness something horrible all bets are off, I’ll take my chances on being arrested for my intervention.
