Yes it was in Gioulou near hounds on holiday, that was damaged but dogs safe, this time 3 dogs have died.
People can work out for themselves if it was just a coincidence.

All the dogs are strays so they don't have owners, but some volunteers are taking dogs home on a temporary basis

Time flies, the one that damaged Hounds on Holiday, was 19 September 2021. Remember it well, it was a friends birthday and it got very close to their house.
