Hello Ray...
...the Rogers County Sheriffs office is particularly concerned with animal cruelty cases involving poisoning, reckless endangerment, harassment and mistreatment.

ole bub and the dawgs
They probably ought to be. I doubt that bigfeet are the most troublesome critters around there. And I don't mean to start a conversation about that.
BTW, I got into a dog rescue this afternoon. I have a vacant house--I'm workin' on it--next door to one of my Creek friends who has Pits. I drove into the yard this afternoon, and his female was loose. Her collar probably came unbuckled by accident: I doubt that anyone that she didn't know could have safely un-done it. She was making aggressive passes at some tree trimers, and they seemed to be more concerned about the dog's safety than anything else. I played dog "whisperer" and got her to come to me although it was obvious that she was ready to attack at the first wrong move that I might make. She submitted to my petting, and I thought about picking her up--then I thought better. I stood up and removed my belt. She retreated, but I got her to come back to me and looped my belt around her neck. Once on a leash, she was fine. I led her back to her chain and re-buckled her collar.
One of the tree trimers thanked me on behalf of the dog. Another just said, "You did a good job with her." Sounded like a dog man to me.
A dog that is accustomed to being chained will oftentimes get very anxious and aggressive when they are loose. They don't know how to handle loose.
