HPP dog attack?

[AaronM]

The dogs are the symptom, not the cause.  You can mask the symptom temporarily by killing the dogs, but the malady will re-occur until the cause is eliminated.

The owners are the cause, and unless their behavior is changed the problem will continue with the next dogs they get.

Both.  We have two issues to solve.   The dogs and their owner. 

Although we would need to have motivated law enforcement in order to solve either issue. 

As Tom mentioned, roaming packs of aggressive dogs are a reoccurring Puna problem.
