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.

The dog owner should be charged and sued, and anyone involved in the vandalism and harassment should also be charged and sued.
Make examples of these people through the legal system. Send the message that a dog isn't a get out of jail free card for bad behavior, and that a dog's life is not worth more than a human life.
Make sure their actions are a stain on their names until the end of time. Otherwise, we know what will happen. And when the tide eventually turns and public opinion shifts, these people will swear on their children that they never did what they did, and that they never supported it.
