I was frustrated by the whole idea that no one thought to just leave him a note "Please stop killing our relatives--by the way, we have a treatment." Maybe he meant to do that to show that a monster/legend is created partly from lack of communication?
Sounds about right to me. Plus, Robert didn't have a way to distinguish one type from another. But I don't think the intelligent ones really cared much at all either. When they came to take him, they just laid waste to the ones ambling in front of his house.
