See, I don't know if I completely agree. With the way that they talk to each other they seem pretty friendly. Though I suspect that they would be a little more reserved around people, but they know that it's a nessesary evil that has to happen every year. They even marry amongst their own town so there has to be some level of trust amongst the villagers. But I do agree that they are very much sheep like. Once that first stone is thrown then the whole group moves in and attacks. One person has no chance of surviving.
