Most mammals are social. That means they live together as a group. They band together in order to draw strength and protection from one another. Humans are social animals and often get sucked into the dynamics of group behavior, feeling and acting as one unit, instead of exercising their "God (sic!)- given faculty" of independent thinking and judgment. Humans behave in such manner show that they are not evolved yet. They are no different from dogs which are well known to live in packs. Each pack is ruled by an alpha (Greek word for letter A, meaning beginning, or top) or top dog. Other dogs look to the alpha dog for clues of behavior. If the alpha dog attacks somebody, the pack would do the same. Conversely, if the alpha dog or any dog in the pack gets attacked by a human or another dog outside of the pack, the rest of the pack would instinctively jump in to the aid of the attacked dog.
Your point is, humans are not dogs, and must not act like dogs. Unlike dogs, humans have a built-in sense of fairness and justice. If somebody in a group is in combat with an outsider, let the fight continue fairly between the original combatants. It is despicable to jump in like a pack of dogs to the aid of the fellow member of the group.
By the way, if some doggie wants to renounce friendship, please do with taste. There is no need to do with trumpets and clarions and loud barking. Some quiet gestures would do. Some humans might value friendship from a doggie, not you. You prefer company of real humans, not humans with canine behavior.
