The dog was killing chickens. It's fairly obvious that no one here grew up anywhere but in the suburbs or inner city. We had to put a dog down when I was a kid for the same reason.
Wasnt the dog still being trained as a hunting dog, for pheasants or other wild fowl? Only a few months old? Weren't the chickens in an environment the dog wasnt used to?
Seems like a failure of the person training them, not of the dog itself. Both a failure in training as well as in keeping them properly secured in a situation that could have proved dangerous.
Yup. Exactly. Sooooo many steps between young birddog overdoing it and shooting the dog in the head.
Apparently though, it's an open secret in South Dakota politics that she basically rage-quit and shot the dog because it embarrassed her and she's volatile and awful, and the work crew she mentioned (really safe choice, btw) all saw it. This may have been the best possible spin she could put on it, which is... disturbing.
When someone like that suddenly takes center stage in conservative politics, you know you're dealing with a uniquely shitty person
I also grew up rural. If a dog killed chickens, the dog would be separated and retrained. If you have to kill the dog because it's not trained properly, it's a personal failing of the owner. Take the Personal Responsibility that you types so cherish.
Exactly! Just because Peepaw did it that way in the 1920s doesn't mean you have no options in 2024
Killed chickens.... during training to hunt and kill pheasants according to one of the other articles on the subject. A 14 month old dog wouldn't know the difference.
Ah, yes. The oldest and most sacred rural tradition. Reckless violence due to irresponsibility
Of course, it's the American way.
Why couldn't you get a trainer or call a dog rescue? Like a non-sociopath would? For pity's sake!
No you didn't, your parents were just incompetent dog owners, same as this 'lady'.
With heavy "in America" emphasis, also.
Elsewhere in the world, e.g. the uk - in which i grew up in a farming village thank you very much - if you want to hunt a pheasant you shoot it in the air (during "flush", usually brought on by a designated "beater"), shooting it on the ground or using a dog to kill it is unlawful, inhumane, and possibly worst of all: unsportsmanlike.
If you want to farm pheasants you rotate the rearing fields each year and you slaughter them in a slaughterhouse approved by the FSA overseen by qualified (CoC) operators.
Bird dogs don't kill the game birds. They retrieve them. It's why there are entire breeds called retrievers. Some other bird dogs flush the birds so you can shoot them in the air, preserving your so called "sportsmanlike" ways.
... give the dog away...
Really? We just moved them elsewhere.
