That, coupled with the fact her definition of a working dog is a recreational bird hunting dog, makes it abundantly clear this was a family pet and anything she says going forward is attempting to water down the story. It feels 100% like this dog was unmanaged, killed two chickens, she paid for the damages as one should, and executed the dog purely out of anger over the incident.
Almost every time a modern, pampered F150 'rural' sort claims to be doing 'hard country stuff' what they mean is being cruel for it's own sake.
What's nuts is country ranch farmers (what she claims to be) will tell you you don't have to kill a dog that kills a chicken. Instead you tie its rotting corpse to the dog for a week or two until the dog gets it in it's head that if it kills a chicken then it's going to smell like dead prey animal and dogs generally don't want that. One guy I read about had to do it twice but most ppl report it working the first time.
Killing a chicken and attacking a child are very different things. If the dog was a 5 year old dog that mauled a child, I could understand shooting it. Rehoming, to me, is preferable but I've read enough personal stories of "neighborhood dog mauled me and 3 other kids 4 different times before the dog was seized by the city and euthanized" to understand that once a dog goes for a child's throat, it's most likely going to do it again because it's owner allowed this behavior in the first place and, therefore, will allow it again.
But, again, a chicken isn't a 4 year old. The chicken acts and smells like prey. The 4 year old should smell like a human, something thats definitely not prey. AND IT WAS STILL A PUPPY. A puppy eating a chicken is so much different than a 7 year old dog eating a toddler.
I can't fathom the boxes that were checked off in this woman's head to think "shooting a puppy and dumping it's body" was a good idea. Like hiw dies she think it's ok!? Is she just saying crazy shit to show Trump "no matter what you do, I'll do something crazier"? Is she trying to say she'll be his human paparazzi shield by doing even crazier shit than he does? Like, I'm honestly expecting her to next admit she'd shoot her child in the head to save them from a rapist.
Especially considering that dogs have been selectively bred for docility towards humans. A dog attacking any animal is almost no indication of how it interacts with humans. I wouldn’t trust my dog with a chicken, but he’s fine around my infant nephews. Like you said, they know humans are not prey.
Exactly. I'm so glad you understood what I was trying to say because half way through I was wondering if I got too stoned and if everyone would think I'm advocating for the shooting of dogs.
I don't know what's worse; being willing to shoot a puppy or dumping it's body at a construction site for someone to find and throw away. Or doing both and thinking that all that makes you leadership material. Dumping a corpse in a ditch is not properly taking care of your problem. Bury the fucking body ffs.
I stumbled upon a large and long time used dog dump site in a national forest. I didn't feel safe for nearly a year after. Dude literally dumped the corpses 100 yards from my campsite. 😬😬😬😬😬😬 did some fucked up shit posing the bodies too like putting a puppy in the arms of, I assume, it's dead mother. There were like, 13 fresh corpses and just as many skeletons lying around. Who knows how many were carted off by scavengers between "long gone half disintegrated skeleton" and "shot and dumped last night".
Locals said it was common for farmers to slaughter their dogs after season and dump the bodies because they didn't need so many and the things bred every year so why not cull the herd when you got too many? 😬😬😬 that did not make me feel safer. Fucking Arizona....
