She killed a puppy for acting like a puppy and scaring birds during a hunt. It was 14 months old and sounds like it had zero training. So she takes it to a gravel pit and shoots it. A puppy. For being excited by birds. And it wasn't trained how to behave around birds.

And then she writes on Twitter that her autobiography has more stories that will upset the press. She is actually psychotic.

Animal cruelty. Why isn't she charged?

Is that even a thing? In the u.s they treat dogs as property

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 20 points 8 months ago

Well they treat people like the property of corporations and the ruling class, so at least they're consistent.

Putting down a dog without a good reason isn't animal cruelty most places if you put it down humanely.

This weird and gross and downright disturbing, but it isn't animal cruelty unless she shot it in the stomach to watch it bleed out or something. Which honestly, she may have for all we know, she's obviously unhinged or very, very dumb.

[–] Neato@ttrpg.network 14 points 8 months ago

Killing an animal because you don't want it is animal cruelty. Maybe not legally but the laws rarely follow public morality.

If animals are in excess there are shelters and they have better ways than a gunshot in a gravel pit.

When I was young I used to live in rural town and had a puppy that was tough to train. I found the puppy a new home with someone that had the time to train it. I didn’t shoot the dog and blame it on living in a rural county.

Buy a bird dog.
WTF, this dog is OBSESSED with birds.
Let dog run loose.
Dog catches birds.
Bird dog is happy for catching birds.
UNACCEPTABLE!
Shoot dog.

Nobody understands, this dog was a maniac around birds!

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 79 points 8 months ago (2 children)

“I took my dog hunting and it killed a chicken instead of the bird I wanted it to kill, so I shot my dog” is one hell of a take, eh?

I get that social media seems to be a constant stream of outrage with nobody actually caring, but I think this story might actually derail her.

There are articles in Fox News, NY Post, and other conservative media outlets about this. They are fairly critical. The fox news one includes tweets from a "country boy" who is like "there's a difference between taking an old animal out back and a fucking puppy".

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 21 points 8 months ago

Best case scenario, she didn’t train the dog well… that’s not a great reason to murder it

She also had to put down 3 horses a few weeks ago. Wonder what they did, eat too much hay? Whinney too much in excitement? Perhaps they were just untrainable as well... Things that don't serve a purpose must die. Ah, that's leadership.

[–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 22 points 8 months ago (1 children)

She was training them to speak like Mr. Ed but they wouldn't utter a word regardless of how much peanut butter she fed them therefore they had to go.

She posted that she "...just had to put down 3 horses a few weeks ago".

Again as a person who grew up in the country around livestock, WTF is she doing that she had to put down multiple horses? Maybe she should really reconsider any form of animal husbandry because they sure as fuck sound like completely incompetent ranchers.

[–] liftingup@lemmy.ca 17 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Yeah horses don’t die that frequently and that close together. To shoot two in one week, too shoot them! Instead of vet euthanization. Wild.

Bitch you could have re-homed the dog to someone who actually knows what the fuck they’re doing.

She had to put down three horses in one week?

Unless there's some sort of horse pandemic I'm unaware of, that sounds even worse.

[–] SulaymanF@lemmy.world 53 points 8 months ago (1 children)

She thinks that the public is mad that animals die on a farm. No, she is not grasping the fact that she killed animals unnecessarily and pointlessly.

The focusing on the puppy and not the “she liked it so much that she went and killed a goat slowly” is odd

Hunting dogs used for hunting aren't generally part of a farm operation, and hunting dog puppies aren't expected to behave at full performance, either. It's hard to pull much from the horse statement itself, but in this context it isn't helpful and looks really bad.

You know generally I'm against the death penalty and I'm all up and down threads like these advocating for that not to be the case, because, you know, people get raised in certain environments, we can't really know whether or not someone's really committed a crime sometimes, blanket death penalty is bad, yadda yadda ya. You know, consistency in principles.

but fuck me man this lady needs to be crushed by a big rock or something
