Ahhhhhh, feels. I can relate to wanting to eviscerate regularly unsecured dogs. There are definitely ramifications to putting violence out into the world, particularly when it comes to neighbors. I say this having just yesterday stomped around my neighborhood trying to find the owner of a dog. I was going to be similarly furious as your letter, but luckily my partner managed to get me off my fury wagon. Lucky for them. Lucky for us. Lucky for the harmony in our street . . .

You could try to speak to them in person. Mention the monetary and emotional damage. Articulate the pain in your heart. If it has to be written, try to strip the violence out of it.

The pain in my heart says use quiet bullets.

Perhaps the pains in our hearts are not the best driving forces . . .
