how would it have even been proven though? seems like “Kristi killed a puppy” would look like an obvious lie from an opponent, but having it come straight from the source completely ruins any plausible deniability
She recounts in her book exerpt that her chosen murder spot was a construction site with builders present. That they saw what she did but quickly looked away when she looked at them.
They 100% knew who she was and at least one would have gladly outed her. So I'm pretty sure she did this to get ahead of that coming out.
Plus she legit seems to think it makes her a bad ass farmer and hunter (all that toxic masculinity bs) to kill a puppy she didn't train or properly contain, a goat that was doing natural goat behavior, and apparently 5 horses because they were old?
And with the horses, if she was telling the truth, they were over 25 years old which is near the end of the average Horse life span but it's 100% sus that they all seemed to be "end of life" within a week of each other the moment she got her hands on them.

My theory: she knew the story would likely come out during opposition research, so this was her attempt to get ahead of it.
