If the dogs were ravenous enough to rip the people apart then they were ravenous enough to turn on each other. And I don’t think three days without food is enough to bring that about. I don’t think this story is accurate, and is probably meant to make Kim Jong Un look more barbaric than he is. If that’s possible.
They call them hounds, but I bet they were guard dogs trained to attack on command that were used.
They were hungry, but also well trained. Perhaps trained to eat on command as well. I don’t think they have many pet dogs running around that country any more unless they had a purpose other than their backs to the sun.
3 days? nope aint buying it either.
“If the dogs were ravenous enough to rip the people apart then they were ravenous enough to turn on each other.”
I think dogs will turn and eat strange humans much quicker than they’ll turn and eat their pack mates. Especially if they’ve been fed this way before.
Here in Alaska, I’ve been to many Indian Villages where they forbid feeding of semi wild village dogs. Reason was starved dogs really chased grizzly bear outta the village, bear walked the road, between cabins like they owned the place. The dogs routinely killed the weakest, youngest dogs, and fought over the carcasses. Oh ya, pet dogs will kill and eat each other quick. I once asked the Indians why they just didn’t get them all spayed, no more pups for them to kill at 4 months or other dogs to eat. They laughed at this dumb white boy. They told me the pups that were like 6-8 weeks are what the kids played with; why would they kill them, ha ha. Kids got bit up also, but the dogs knew that if kids got hurt; bunch of them would be shot on site. The dogs sure chased the bear out of the village too.
