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.

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

Is this the woman who also killed that bear for sport?

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.

The "common sense" is you control your fucking dog. If you have to kill it to do so, you're a failure as a pet owner and as a person.

They killed the dog because they were pissed about the chickens and the dogs life is worth less than the time spent to train it properly.

They probably just got a new dog and rolled the dice that this one wouldn't like chicken as much.

Not responsible pet owners.

What sets this ladies story apart is that she killed the dog and then looked around for what else she could kill. Because she liked the feeling it gave her.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

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.

Couldn't they just have, I don't know, kept the dog on a fucking leash like the rest of civilized society?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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.

this isn’t shows how futile it is to try to shame such people into being halfway decent. it’s not possible.
