Obviously the majority of this forum has never been around farmers or ranchers.
They raise cows, pigs, chickens for a food source.
Dogs to them are a tool for hunting, protecting, or herding livestock.
She obviously didn't think through the story of shooting her dog and how it would be received by the majority of the population. That points to a massive shortcoming for her to be effective on the national stage.
I'm not surprised that the LR would take her statement about livestock and infer she ate the dog. I wouldn't be surprised if she actually made the post, but in this day and age when social media easily makes up a narrative. It's best for her to drop it and move on. She should stick with her state level politics.
Pretty sure, "ate the dog" was a joke.
I grew up on a farm, we had to put animals down at times. Nobody here has denied that animals sometimes have to be put down. I still think she is an awful person for telling a story about shooting a young dog to impress people.
