Jacob knew exactly who was in charge when Dotty was tied up in the trial. He knew that because of the “Milk Trial”. He also knows that the typical reader who reads an article internalizes the basis of the story without applying critical thinking. Sorry to say that is true to our current political situation. History repeats itself in an endless loop of variations.

Someone’s gonna have to take the fall here… There are still a number of wolves left in Endtown after the “riot control”, who are going to have a rather hard time dealing with the public’s legitimated mistrust towards them. The result may be lynchings and even further extremism, this time against the wolves, which would force additional hard measures to be taken by security. Jacob needs a sacrificial lamb, someone to paint black as the devil, so that Endtown will have a target to project all its fears and doubts on. When that person becomes synonymous with the Supremacy movement, all it will take is one quick show trial and possibly an execution and the population will be more or less content. Jacob has in front of him, a competent, passionate journalist and a raving, troublemaker with a victim complex. I think he’s already made his decision…
So, the leader who campaigned on getting in tune with your new animal nature is giving a dressing down to the citizen who did so? And the leader is a rabbit, and the citizen is a wolf?I love this topsy-turvey story.
It’s Dottie who’s yelling in outrage. I suspect Jacob is going to continue to be ‘reasonable’ in his interview with Lucas. He’ll calmly ask him more questions and demolish him with logic. That’s his style.
next line…“by which I mean him and his supremacist movement, not all the wolves in the city.” Yeah, this is a pretty blunt metaphor for antifa and BLM, and any other BAN movements I overlooked, but I feel like it’s needed because all the twits and tumblerites are too dense to glean the lesson from subtler storytelling.

There is still more to this. Someone was making sure there were stories about food shortages. There are masters still pulling the wolves strings and the death and simulated murders of pigs. We are still waiting for the puppet master to step out of the shadows. All we are seeing right now are the useful idiots.
The whole reason Dottie started her own paper was to fight discrimination against wolves, or so she told herself. She apparently doesn’t have the respect for them she thought she did. Based on the actions of one wolf, she condemns them all. Maybe because she thinks they should be more grateful for her “helping” them. It wasn’t for their benefit she played the hero. It was for hers, to make herself feel better and look better.
Dottie was already biased “pro-wolf” in her reporting in the Endtown paper; so much so that the pair of wolves we first met (the ones chasing Portia at the beginning of this arc) asked for Dottie while they were in jail. Dottie was biased to the extent that she didn’t even bother covering the pig disappearances. She only started “her” paper because her editor refused to publish any more of Dottie’s stories and tried to redirect her…because her articles were so biased. Dottie never got a chance to actually state her views before circumstances caused her to lose control of her paper. But yes…she was “lying down” with the wolves before that.
Lucas: “The true genius is never understood in their own lifetimes. I will be a martyr to the cause, and when I’m gone you’ll regret everything you’ve done to me. I’m the best, most stable smart guy you’ve ever met.”
Well, the nazi comment from last page makes more sense now. It didnt quite seem to fit into the universe before – now it is just ironic. But considering how he holds his ears now he is either very shamed, or doesn´t listen.
ive been waiting to dottie reaction ,not exactly surprised she probably saw the lawyer being killed because i dont think he went too far from the site of the trial
I still feel bad for Dottie, in spite of all the screwups she made. When she was first introduced, she was the only one fighting to stop Albert and Gustine from being executed, with Walt being utterly ineffectual and Jacob being violently anti-human to the extent of wanting them dead. She cared about truth and doing the right thing, first and foremost. People were fine with her then – and everything here suggests that these were the same motivations for her defending the wolves. In spite of everything, there has been no smoking gun connecting the wolves to the vanished pigs, and Fairweather’s correct assessment of the legal system being utterly corrupt against a wolf-killer was shown to be completely correct, with the wolves being driven into a frenzy out of rage over the false accusations and the perceived betrayal, and extremists like Lucas quick to try and take advantage of the situation.
About the only parties involved with the current arc that seem to be genuinely decent are the individuals caught up in it – Walt, Portia, that wolf streetsweeper, Heather (rip) etc didn’t ask for any of this. The police, both newspapers, Jacob’s group and whoever is targeting the pigs are all awful and riddled with corruption, this almost seems even darker (and far more convoluted) than the milk trial arc.
Might it be that Jake has a job for this enterprising would-be journalist? Considering the outcome of the most recent trial, he may prefer employment to taking his chances in court… ;-)

When Heather said she was “done supporting those monsters” (wolves), Dottie couldn’t wait to criticize her. In fact, she was willing to make Heather look like the bad guy in her trial. Now the tables have turned, and Dottie finds herself “done supporting those monsters” (or animals as she puts it!).
Dottie Proctor has now become the “New Heather Hoss”.
But let’s not forget that Lucas has his own way with words. After all, that’s how he became Assistant Editor. And he was the one who convinced the ‘paper man’ to supply Dottie with the materials she needed for her paper.
Sure, he’s being surprisingly quiet for now. Most likely he was enjoying hearing his literature being read aloud like a bedtime story. But perhaps now he at least realizes that he can no longer take advantage of Dottie.
In fact… He has lost everything now. No paper, no co-workers, no support from Dottie. Can’t wait to hear what he has to say for himself.

You’re doing it all WRONG, Dottie! You roll the paper up and hit him on the nose with it, not throw all the pages at him loosely.
