A comment on The sinister, shocking rise of dog attacks on postal workers. Parent comment
If deterrence is ineffective, turn around and look at the dog owners again. Why do people get aggressive dogs?

- but feel no fear of repercussions (for their aggressive dog’s behavior)
has to be very small.

Also, might I suggest indeed “decreasing the population of these animals”?
