Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Reading this I knew it wasn't in any Blue state. If you haven't had the chance to live in some of our poorest counties in America, roaming dog packs sounds outlandish. The poorest people in third world countries have it better than the poorest in Louisiana. Not a Joke.
I'm not arguing with you or anything, I just want to relay my experience with something like this. I was raised around big dogs, and actually made a living training them for a few years(not just big dogs, but chihuahuas get a bad rap because they can be incredibly cool too). So I'm used to dealing with all sorts of behavioral levels. My mom adopted a "pot cake" dog from the Caribbean, which is essentially a street dog. My first time visiting after they adopted her, she was sweet enough when Mom was around. But I wanted to sleep in after partying with friends. My mom left me her car to visit my old haunts and explore new areas while she was at work.
The Caribbean pot cake dog was laying in between my air mattress and the front door. She growled as I got closer and then nipped at my shoe. I understood she is male aggressive and has trauma with being kicked simply by knowing her background. So I assertively raised my voice, but didn't yell, and took one step backwards and stopped looking directly at her. It took maybe 30 seconds for her to realize what was going on, and she sheepishly got out of the way. My only negative experience with this formerly stray dog who obviously got kicked fairly often.
Every time I've visited since, she had been there most adorable love bug. I cannot sleep in the living room cause she will pop the air mattress trying to crawl up and lay next to me, and I am never alone on the couch. I don't know what I was getting at here, maybe I just wanted to talk about her. But the other dude was right, I was making a joke and it makes me feel bad that someone downvoted you for not catching it. Don't worry though homie, I got you back on the better side of zero.
Stockton is in California. The person above was making a joke.
