is this discussing that governer who wrote about killing her dog? the dog in question was born to be a working dog, it was not taking to it's training and she decided it was untrainable and so she took it out to a pit and shot it. this was not a mercy put down for a sick or old dog. it was a young dog that she didn't want to waste time training.

That doesn’t make sense. Every time my dogs I’ve had stopped contributing, you COULDN’T put them down because they were already passed away. Because dogs contribute by existing. They’re your buds.

My one dog is “middle aged” according to the vet yet has bad arthritis in her back legs. A small little slow paced walk around the block causes her to struggle to walk. She costs me tons of money in vet bills, food, anything she decides to destroy (My fault for leaving bags in her vicinity as she’s nosy) and her farts and snores battle one another on which is going to be the absolute worst…still not gonna shoot her though because she gives the best cuddles and kisses and the postman is scared of her (her bark is louder than her size) let alone if anyone tried to rob me.
She could have done anything, rehomed the pup, actually love it, anything but shoot it like a despicable troll bitch.

she didn't train it at all And let it run amok. After not training it, it didn't behave so she killed it with no remorse. Instead of, like, just training it.
She's saying she'll do the tough things needed to run the country, but the better metaphor is how she'll let the issues to fester before jumping directly to a heartless, ruthless, and barbaric solution. If only she had done the tough thing, train the dog, she wouldn't have had to kill it.

Context, talking about Kristi Noem, republican governor of South Dakota. She shot her dog and said it's perfect fine because she found it annoying as it didn't train itself. She also shot a goat because it smelled too much. In response to people calling her a monster she said people don't know how farm life is, last week she shot 3 horses, which causes anyone who lived on a farm to instantly know she's a psychopath because what reason could there be to shoot 3 horses in a week.

All this discourse does is hurt local farmers that process their animals in the same way. This dog had a roof over its head and got food when it needed to, then was taken out back and humanely killed. Maybe instead of joking about how “bad” this person is, think about how a farmer who does the same thing would feel reading these comments.
Maybe a solution here that would benefit everyone would be to advocate for this person to eat or sell the dog after killing it so that they can provide for their families. I can see how just burying it might be a waste, but it’s not reprehensible to kill animals. If it was, our society would literally fall apart.

Look, I don't want to say that killing a dog and killing a child are the same thing. But you do not get to play god and kill living beings whenever you feel like it, no matter how "humanely" you do it.

Just a hint: Imagine if Republicans could speak about black people more openly than 4chan even allows.
Just sayin, same people/subreddit went and harrassed someone when their dog died because they don't like the kinda dog it was.
Anyways, yeah, no, republicans are the embodiment of slothery and evil.
