Hi everyone,
Does this mean a pack of dogs? It's a woman talking about how she is spending her life getting her revenge on men.
ومنذ ذلك الوقت، أصبحت أنتقم من الرجال بأن أتحصّل على أموالهم، معشر الكلاب
It's from a North African text.
Thanks!

[You] bunch of scoundrels
In Moroccan society, dogs carry an unfavourable connotation and are employed as a derogatory term. I'm uncertain whether this holds true in other Arab nations. Nevertheless, in European societies, they symbolize a dependable and sincere companion to a considerable extent.

those dogs
She despises men and I think this flows with the text in English.
"And since then, I started getting even with men by taking away their money, those dogs."
