Thoroughly enjoyed your trip report, right up to the part about the puppies.

This is the type of childhood behavior that often leads to more serious adult crimes but obviously if there was an adult taking part in this atrocity I fear the die is already cast.. Disrespect for any type of life is to be deplored and I’m so sorry you had to witness this, but hopefully some or any of the authorities showed up in time to put an end to this barbarian behavior.

I do hope the rest of your trip was all good. Thank you for sharing.
