depends on the person. my neighbors, who never walk their dog, barely feed it, and just let it out in the back yard for 3 hours a day (hoarders backyard in the city where all it can do is stand in the 2x2 corner where it uses the bathroom and bark, asking them to play with it) do not deserve a dog. for any responsible owner though, I agree

Mostly rhetorically, and without an ability to adopt this dog myself, what would vigilante justice look like in this situation?

you can try to report it to a local animal cruelty prevention group however a lot of time what they can do is very limited

It doesn't have to be vigilante justice. In a number of countries animal cruelty is illegal. The simple fact that the animal is malnourished would be enough to involve the police. But I don't know what country any of you live in.
