It's because killing an animal companion for being disobedient and then telling your children what happened and why you did it, is textbook serial killer behavior.
It's not the same as say running a homestead and telling the children why some of the livestock are gone now.
Only speaking for myself as I can't get into others heads, the red flag is her power trip. The dog only existed to serve her despite her daughter's attachment to it and would have lived to old age if only it obeyed.
That's the terrifying part.
People who killed the family pet for failing to be obedient tend to eventually work up to humans.
People who work the buzzsaw at a chicken plant, as gross as it is, don't.
Uh.. What do you think animals bred for slaughter are?
That's a different definition of "serve".
Pigs aren't trained to do tasks then slaughtered if they fail.
They're bred specifically for slaughter and then killed when they reach prime weight.
A "life on the farm" story doesn't convey an implied threat of if you cause me problems you may get shot in the head like this does.
Yes, instead they're bred explicitly to kill, they don't even have the chance to earn the right to live a full life serving humans
Sure but that's a separate convo.
I just answered the question of why the governor of South Dakota boasting about shooting her (and her daughter's) dog dead because it wasn't progressing along with training in a way she approved of is more horrifying to me than the existence of the slaughter industry.
It's fair to say this person is much more deranged than the average meat defender, but the core issue of animal slaughter remains in this instance and in meat consumption. An animal's life was cut short because a human decided they wanted to do that
