I’m glad your dog is ok and the neighbor seemed to learn their lesson. Too bad it had to happen like that. When OP said “in other countries” dangerous animals attack cats I immediately thought of dogs as a threat to cats anywhere. We are in the US in an urban area and there are also owls, hawks, tics, poisonous snake, all which pose a potential threat to outdoor cats.
The council is the petition’s intended audience, not the building owner. The council has invested money to improve the area before so there’s a chance the increased public pressure makes a real difference behind the dais. They could end up helping the owner demolish the building or offload it to someone who wants to fix it up, without losing private money, for the purpose of benefiting the public.
Roku
I used to pay for Hulu live tv but decided I wasn’t getting enough out of it and bought a Roku instead. Now that I have it with free apps like PBS, crackle, freevee, tubi, Plex, Pluto, xumo, and a few others plus a few paid subscriptions like peacock, paramount, and basic Hulu, I have more content than I know what to do with for a fraction of what I was paying for live tv ($85/month in addition to my internet bill). It wouldn’t be possible without very fast and reliable Internet however.
