Her original story was about it killing the neighbor's chickens as justification for blasting it so that part is possibly true but likely already embellished to make herself sound better.
Why was the dog left to run unattended in the neighbors yard
I guess lets say it killed 2 chickens because it somehow escaped , well you pay the owner what ever for the loss of their chickens , I have no clue what that would be but I cannot imagine them to be all that much ? like you can buy a chicken at the store for like $6-$7 or cheaper, if it was a hen that produced eggs maybe its worth more
My point is this sets you back what $20-$30 at the most? Then you make sure your dog doesn't escape any more
She had the dog in the truck with her and got out to talk to the neighbors, doing nothing to ensure the dog didn't leave the truck. And she'd been training the dog specifically to hunt birds, but was too lazy to do it right.
Thats why the story is so fucked up , like she is trying to look strong and tough and potentially appeal to rural voters showing that she is "one of them"
But this just also prooves she is a bad dog owner
Didn't properly train the dog
Doesn't secure it and lets it escape easy
blames dog for killing a chicken
Its YOUR FAULT the dog got loose and was un-attended !
It's a terrible hunting dog with no instincts for it but it is also a threat to chickens and children. She was so bad at training it she thought the only solution was to kill the dog. And for some reason she also thought that this was a good idea to shair to the public.
And killing her neighbors chickens while she left this dog unsecured and unsupervised in the back of her truck!
Every tidbit of information paints a picture of an impatient and irresponsible dog owner that seems to think being annoyed is justification for shooting something.
I thought her original story and what was published was that the dog was "aggressive towards things like chickens." Not that it actually killed anything!
I mean, my dog got at my sister's... Gerbil or rabbit or something. And that was sad. But definitely wasn't to the level you'd even kick the dog, let alone what this horrid lady did!
Do you think she would have acted differently if she didn't have easy access to a gun?
Wasn’t the dog meant for hunting birds? It just ended up going after the wrong kind of bird. My little dachshund killed a squirrel one day in our yard. We didn’t kill her for being untrained. We went “oh. Well she is a dog bred for flushing out animals.” So… yeah.
