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".
Best case scenario, she didn’t train the dog well… that’s not a great reason to murder it
People are crazy.
I saw the movie 'Enter The Dragon' in theaters dozens of times back when grind houses were a thing. Every time some thug got killed the crowd cheered. The minute the villain threatened to kill his own cat people were horrified.
Humans are sapient, while some other animals can claim the same title as well most cant. Humans can be introspective but most animals fundamentally cannot, there are lots of good reason to kill a human animals should only be killed for food or necessity.
people don’t like thugs. thugs are dangerous and bad for society. so social creatures like humans naturally cheer them getting creamed. baby animals that are pets? hint: one thing isn’t a different thing. context. it’s what gives meaning.
Faked out again.
i think so too. killing a puppy is pretty generally reviled here. and rightly so.
