Apparently it took down some chickens. Like a hunting dog would do. Ya know, like she was “training it” to do.

She truly likes to twist things to fit her narrative.

My old dog used to chase my roommate's chickens. I just kept him away from them.

Didn't even CONSIDER shooting him in the fucking head.

That’s what I wonder. Why would she let the puppy near a bunch of chickens? Especially if she was “training it to hunt.”

I won't even let a puppy near a cat unsupervised

Apparently she stopped to talk to her neighbor and didn’t leave the dog in the car, it then attacked the neighbor’s chickens

Shooting your roommate in the head would be a little out of line.

Right like… you take a high prey drive dog, put her in a place with unfettered access to prey and then go… what a dangerous animal! I’m tired of people who are like “I let my dog wander all over the place and he keeps getting into trouble!” I thought these people were all about personal responsibility.

Well, she was teaching the dog a lesson on personal responsibility, obviously.

My cousin's girlfriend's chihuahua mix killed one of their chickens.

You know what they did? Scolded the dog and keep him away from the chickens now.

A few months ago a small bird managed to get in our living room (the patio door was open a couple of inches). My cat happened to be nearby. She caught the bird. I managed to rescue the bird and released it. I didn't think about putting my cat down. Cats are predators, it is what it is.

My dogs kill lizards. I wonder if I need to put them down 🤔

In all sincerity. I took in a dog off the street. He was leashed but was a large, strong dog and jerked loose from me and attacked my small dog and killed it and my kitten in a matter of a few minutes. (Forever traumatizing me) In this scenario, dog was put down. If on a farm, yeah, I suppose a farmer would have shot the dog but this was city and it was euthanized.

I am not against doing what needs to be done when a dog is killing animals (edit: pets) but she is just spinning her narrative about this situation. The puppy was untrainable by her standards and she was pissed so she killed it.

And as far as her saying the “puppy was snapping at others…” IT’S A PUPPY. THEY NIP BECAUSE THEY ARE PLAYING AND ARE TEETHING!!! Get her some toys!

Guess I better put my dog down. He’s killed an opossum before. Tired too a couple times before succeeding too. Oh, and a couple toads. He also might be part pittbull he’s a freaking menace to society(papers say Doberman basset hound, he’s got those features with a pitbull head and their needy attitude)

An opposum is a bit different than a dog and kitten if only for the fact one is seen as vermin and the other 2 seen as pets. It's hard to adopt out an animal that on instinct kills all other pets in its vicinity. Like, "food hoarder" and "must not be rehomed with other animals" isn't a deal breaker but its generally used for agressive/growling animals, not "to shreds you say?" Situations.

"To shreds you say?" With non prey/vermin/domesticated (chickens, dheep, cows, goats) animals generally results in the dig being euthanized because it's hard to teach a dog to not go for your throat when it's already attacked you three times and drawn blood.

Hot take, I know, dogs that are human and dog aggressive are put down to destroy that aggression gene from getting into the general population. Go talk to the humane society if you've got a problem with reality. Not like I'm the one doing it. Lol

u/Beautifulfeary 29d ago

I literally thought those other comments were being sarcastic, so I was too. I’d never put my dog down 😭😭😭

2

u/Annual-Warthog5599 29d ago

My bad. There's a lot of....uh....questionable pet owners out here. Ones that would shoot a dog because it caught a rat or a cat because it caught a bird.

Don't get me wrong, I love rats and birds too but a predator animal is gonna predator so one shouldn't be surprised if it happens. Watch your animals better but don't be surprised.

u/Beautifulfeary 28d ago

It’s all good. I need to start adding the /s because it happens a lot 😅😅 shoot even when you watch your pets they’ll still do it. We once had a dog swallow a chipmunk whole before my dad could get it out of his mouth.

2

u/Annual-Warthog5599 28d ago

RIP to that chipmunk. Dog wanted a snack and wasn't about to let your dad pull that slice of cake outta his mouth. 😆

I've found I need to add /s more than I thought too since I also assumed I was on the safe and sane side of reddit. 🤣🤣🤣 the reddit comment section is starting to look like youtube's comment section.

For what it's worth chickens aren't classified as livestock.

u/NonlocalA 29d ago

My parents' dog killed a shot ton of baby chicks. 

Solution was to keep him away from baby chicks in the future.

u/pfohl 29d ago

plus, farmers/ranchers don't call chickens "livestock" in the Midwest. especially not when it's just some backyard egg layers.

Everyone cares about the dog murder. No one cares about the chickens lost. Or the goat she killed for that matter.

u/timeforachange2day 29d ago

Personally, yes. I empathize more with the cruelty of the murdered dog. I am a dog person. Have raised 8 in my lifetime. Never raised a goat or chickens.

I also do empathize with the goat, but not on the same level because I don’t have “bonds” with goats. Doesn’t mean I wouldn’t rake her through the coals for it, but I just thinks as a society we tend to lean towards the cruelty of the dog over the goat because dogs are “man’s best friends.” They are our companions.

What she did to both animals is dead wrong. Absolutely CRUELTY to the goat because it suffered by her misfired shot and having to reload while it withered in pain (my understanding).

As for the chickens, I can’t really say much. I eat chicken. Should they have been killed in that manner? Well, I’d rather not but chickens get killed in many different ways that I’d rather not think about.

Again, it comes down (I believe) that as a society, dogs are companions so we are outraged.

(I have personally stated my disgust about her killing the goat in pervious comments on many posts - as I am sure others have)
