In the story "The Red Bow" by George Saunders, we learn of a town that gets together in order to kill a massive number of dogs due to the death of a girl who was bitten by a rabid dog.
The man who organizes such killing is Uncle Matt. Despite the fact that the measures he suggests are extreme, many of the people of the town support Uncle Matt's decision. One of the main reasons why this happens is because Uncle Matt is able to appeal to the people's emotions. He does this through the use of a red bow as a symbol for the life that was lost. He also achieves this by highlighting the importance of community and unity in the life of the town.
There are many examples of real-life situations in which grief or strong emotions cause people to take extreme measures. An example is the terrorist group IRA that developed in Ireland. This group took extreme measures in order to achieve their goals, including assassinations and bombs. Their actions were caused by the anger and grief they felt towards the English domination of Ireland.
