I mean I’m an animal lover but it’s pretty common in rural areas to take care of a “problem dog” on your own.

That said I have no idea why a politician with national aspirations would put that story out there. Most people hearing this story in passing are just going to think you’re a sick dog murderer.

I have owned and train 100s and 100s or race horses in my life. I have had to have the vet come and put them to sleep humanely more times than I like to count. ALL, and I repeat ALL, were done because they were either too sick to save (colic) or had a broken bone etc. And if anyone knows horses, a broken bone is basically death to them.
'
I owned and trained a mare called Persistance that was worth well over $100,000. Got a bone chip in her knee and after 3 surgeries and $15000 later we finally thought we got her right. She ended up getting very sick after her 3rd surgery (blood issue) and I spent another $5000 or so trying to save her. She ended up dropping dead right in front of me in my barn.

Point is I am more than willing to put down an animal if there is no hope. But I will spend any amount of money to give them a fighting chance first. Hell I spent $10,000 on a former rescue dog that we adopted that kept getting kidney stones and we had 4 surgeries on her.


But to take a dog out, a healthy dog, and shoot it because you didn't think it was acting how you wanted it to? F that.

That is a lot of horses.

What were their names?

[GhostofCricket]

Woof woof. Why did she do dis? I just wanted a yummy snack. Woof woof.

It's an actually not surprising you don't have an understanding of this type of culture.

This is what people of your ideology will consider "fly over country" that you'll may never get.(dunno)

Lack of acceptance/understanding of diverse cultures isn't surprising at all.


You have multiple types that would handle us differently.

Suburban urban type: post on social media, or local outlet "free dog needs caring home, has all shots and records" - or maybe even local stores designed for that.


Baller types - high end people - or penny day trading race horse owning ballers like Optimus prime- they can sink a bunch of money into each animal at will- or use funds to help facilitate care/training/transfer to another.


Then you for these legit rural/ranch type places - they only can sink so munch money into so many animals / give away can happen- but each ranch already has its own burden of excess- and there isn't really a family to take something as a pet -and if so it better be a safe one - because there is already too many stray unsafe ones already.


Cricket was a people biting, livestock killing, liability. Cricket had to go.

Every rural area each type non-baller gets this situation 100% - and admires her for making the hard call that nobody liked to do- and doing it herself instead of passing the burden.

instead of trying to sell the story that millionaire ranchers are 2 broke and 2 dumb 2 find other solutions for their unwanted animals why not just tell the truth?

the truth is animals and people are either assets or liabilities that either produce or lose income and once theyre unable 2 produce theyre discarded. its legal to shoot an animal in nd and if any of their kids got hooked on meth and was a liability, they would take them out back and put them down if it were legal to do so. its not, so they just kick them off the ranch and tell them that if they return theyre going to be met with a .30-06. u cant tell that to a dog so they just went straight to the .30-06.

At the end of the day, even in the most domesticated dog species, they retain the traits of their wild dog ancestors.

Doggo most likely sensed she was a fascist kunt and bit her. Hero doggo.

[NYPat]

The vicious dog in question that had to be put down..

[Guyfawkes1010]

I like her but I am going to agree.

Pretty selfish act on her part and I don't like people that are so quick to resort to something like this when it comes to animals.

She could have at least tried to find the dog a good home. The dog probably thought it was protecting her 'parents' hence why she attacked the chickens and the person. Some dogs when they get attached just have it in them to protect their 'homeland' as much as possible.

For example we have a rescue dog. Actually 2 rescues. But he is all of 12 pounds. But within a week of him coming into our home, he adopted US. Not the other way around. He stands guard when he is let outside in our yard and barks and defends us at all costs. It isn't because he is mean. He just really REALLY wants to defend his homeland and the people he loves. That is why I have an issue with what she did. She killed a dog that was just trying to protect her.

She can F off for this.

Both of these dogs are rescues but the one on the bottom step is our 'watchdog'.

lol old people dogs

Well, I mean she kind of is lol. Not that it is funny.

I really don't want to post them because you can find them on the United States Trotting Association website with me being down as owner and trainer. And we all know the lengths some people will go on here to doxx you.

Needless to say the one white dog in the pic I posted above is named after my favorite race horse, I had him for 11 years and he won over 100 races for me. Which is unheard of.

Who is this person and what have you done with Z - soy son?

[BeachPro11]

Both rescues. The top one we have had for 12 years and he is still going strong.

The bottom one is our viscous guard dog.

They "take care of problem dogs on their own" because they don't have the means/money to have it done properly (surrendering it to a shelter). A quick google search says she has a net worth of about 3 million dollars, so she is more than capable of doing it the right way.
