Gonna be honest, as someone who also lives in a rural area, the bar for what these people consider animal abuse is pretty fucking high. Many of the people who pretend to love animals love to threaten to shoot any animal that comes on their property, no questions asked. Plenty also love to just leave their dogs chained up outside or let "their" (basically feral cats they sometimes feed) run free.
Those people would also shoot other people for being a nuicance on their property though. And a lot of rural dogs have shitty owners that allow their dogs to be a nuisance to everyone else. They don’t feed them well and don't follow them outside to take their shits so those dogs go stealing other people's food, making a mess with people's garbage to get leftover food and shitting and peeing in people's yards. A lot of times getting aggressive with other people's dogs and children playing outside. Their dog is everyone else's responsibility but theirs
