People like that you cannot talk sense with or rationalise with. Logging reports are also of not much help, unfortunately. Sometimes it may aggravate the situation further, and the little ones suffer even more.

Although it is quite difficult and sometimes near impossible, from my experience trying to diffuse or play down the situation is still the best solution. Then try to appeal to their heart and conscience, maybe through their religion.

If they are Buddhist, there is a free booklet called "Pawprints on my heart - A Buddhist Perspective" by Dr. Chan Kah Yein. Although I am not a Buddhist, I have found this booklet very good in converting some animal-hostile people. Secretly, they feel ashamed after reading it and behave a little bit better. No harm in trying ... with hopes of success for the safety of our little ones.
