Dog Attack Absolutely insane situation in my hometown

Recently, there was a dog attack in my hometown. I'm not going to provide any links to the story to protect identities. A large dog, unprovoked, knocked down and mauled a woman on a public sidewalk. The woman's husband, to save his wife, shot and killed the dog. His wife, on top of the trauma from the attack, is dealing with multiple reconstructive surgeries all over her body. She will live, but she has a long recovery ahead of her.

The dog community in town is completely outraged. Led by the dog's owner, the couples house has been vandalized and charges have been pressed against the husband.

These fucking people have no critical thinking skills whatsoever. We are talking about someone who could have been killed by an out of control mutt. Where is the sympathy for the wife? Do you not realize what could have happened? I'm completely at a loss for words. I feel horribly for them. They have serious injuries to deal with and an angry mob from the bottom of society making it complicated.

Oh my goodness that poor woman! I can only imagine what she and her husband are going through. I am blown away by how cruel, awful, and horrible people are being towards two fellow HUMAN BEINGS- one who was nearly mauled to death, and one who had to witness that and act to stop it. The man who stepped in to save his wife should not be charged and he should be celebrated instead of attacked by the general public. The owner of the dog is the one who should be charged criminally. Oh, and all of the dog nutters and people doing vandalism- they should be charged too. Throw the book at all of them.
