This is why I make my party roll int/wis checks to “get a feeling” when they are missing very obvious hints. E.g. roll to beat 10, and on success “you have a strong feeling that this dragon will easily kill your entire party and you should probably find a diplomatic solution”

Where do we put them if every city, every village, every town lacks compassion and passes a law identical to this

This is why there needs to be a national effort around this, rather than this patchwork approach which often just (expensively&wastefully) moves the problem around without solving it.

It’s the midwest, so probably a lot in hiding
