Story is getting lot of traction. Sounds like she had a hunting dog, wasn’t very good. The dog killed some neighbors chickens and was untrainable. Dog was shot.

This is a pretty conservative group, would like to see some opinions.

Got no problem with any of it. Of course the PETA and treehuggers will want her jailed.

Dem’s will take them to shelter where they’re killed. Either way they’re dead.

Those that show “shock” when it pushes their agenda. Where was your shock when Black Lives Matter and Antifa were taking over Portland and burning and looting cities?

What else would you do with it?

All I had to see was that the liberal USA Today published the story and stopped right there, whatever they posted will be distorted to fit the left wing agenda.

I tried to find a more neutral news source. They are all leftist. The Guardian was over the top.

Killing the dog is not something I would have done. She really should have kept that to herself. I really like her but I see this hurting her future political ambitions.

I’m really trying to figure out why anybody would want a future in politics.

You’d almost be better off killing a person than a dog at this point in time. It’s been like that for years…ex - Goodrich vs Vick sentences.

I have done the same. No fun. Just have to do it sometimes.

I thought everyone that lived on a farm, in the country, or with hunting/working dogs have had to put one down. I hate doing it but have had to do it on several occasions. HATE IT! But, what’s the alternative? If you’ve ever seen a euthanization go bad, you’d know that a bullet is quicker and more humane anyway. I couldn’t shoot my “pet” dogs though. They are family. No matter the cost I have to take them to the vet and pay it. I’m also getting softer in my older age. Anyway, I see no issue with the story.

RIP goat.

Every problem I've ever had with livestock has been from a Damm Dog. Weather it be cattle, hogs, chickens ginnies, rabbits you name it.

See you later dog, buy.

Getting criticized for doing what was needed - geez.

I’ve shot dogs (and cats) for less than that….

Thread reminds me of all the urbans buying chickens to get yard eggs and not consuming the non-producing hens.

You sound a lot like me Snakewrangler.

Just another disconnect between the coasts and the rest of the country.

Middle america, the “fly over despicables” are not who drive the news cycles and the culture of the elites is very different from the rest of us. This is blatantly obvious any time any news person talks about or handles a gun.

No kidding. Why is this news? Sometimes animals need shot.

OMG Brandon has a German Shepherd that bites people and they didn't kill it

Very bad optics. Valid yes... Americans understand this. They do not.

Democrats are pro life, remember?

The dog was a tool/piece of equipment for the farm and was not doing its job. It either has to be fixed or done away with if not it’s another expense for the farm. Theses are the same people that have no problem killing babies!
