The latest on the village email list is that a woman was attacked by a pack of stray dogs. Luckily she was treated at the hospital and is okay. Villagers are pissed because when the woman went to someone's house to get help, the person called 9-1-1 and was told the police had shootings to deal with so wouldn't respond to a dog attack. It sounds like if the attack was in progress they would have responded but since she had already escaped they said to call animal control. Anyway, someone responded to this and ended their email with the following:

"i also feel pretty bad for these abandoned animals who have become so predatory and vicious. what are we thinking?
love to all of you good people.
d***"

It warms my heart to think that at least villagers have a place in their heart for dogs since they don't give a shit about people.
