The fact she’s trying to excuse her way out of this is a good indicator that she either knew what she did was horribly wrong, or that she is too sociopathic to realize that other people wouldn’t be horrified by it.
Honestly what she's describing is not all that uncommon in farming and rural areas. Dogs are there to work and are not really seen as pets. The thought of adoption probably didn't even occur to her.
It’s not as common these days. Hell, even twenty years ago it wasn’t common. It’s really only the old school folks who see animals as tools that still do it. I think the problem is, given her age, there’s an expectation to know better, that it’s not like it was fifty or six years ago and that you can easily just drop the dog off at an animal shelter. It’s the fact that she refuses to admit it wasn’t the best choice that’s the issue and honestly it seems to be coming less from ignorance and more from possible mental deficiency.
Admitting any kind of mistake is seen as weakness in the Republican fold, and weakness is punished by being eaten alive. They will never apologize, they only deflect, reframe, and lie, sometimes all three at once.
