When I was barely a teenager our neighbor’s dog came into our property and killed/ate all of our chickens.
We later learned that they ended up shooting the dog. The “common sense” regarding this was that once dogs get a taste for chicken they will never stop coming back to get more.
I don’t know if that’s true and in our situation it wasn’t a puppy but this isn’t the first time I’ve heard of a dog being killed for eating chickens.
Couldn't they just have, I don't know, kept the dog on a fucking leash like the rest of civilized society?
We lived in the sticks with 10’s of acres of land per family.
They could have. But I don’t know anyone who did except for those who lived in town.

I don’t know if that’s true
I'm like 90% sure it's not, it's just one of those things that people do as a kind of "common sense" solution, because dogs are generally seen as a pretty disposable object. Like how they used to kill, and maybe still do kill idk, any animal that kills or attacks a person, just kind of on the basis that "that there animal is a man killer. ain't no goin' back from that, it's got a taste for it now.". Just dumb shit.

This has nothing to do with animals, and the incidents probably never even happened.
She is advocating for the return of concentration camps and gas chambers.
I wouldn't put it past her.
Is this the woman who also killed that bear for sport?
No surprise there - she's a crass opportunist with no principles and no empathy; what else is she going to do?
It's likely that she isn't even dissembling - that she's sincerely defending her actions because she's so psychologically crippled that she genuinely can't see how anyone could legitimately take exception to them.
Remember when Mit Romney drove around for vacation with the dog on the car's roof storage bin?
By comparison Mit wins this round...I mean time count vs bullet count.
