Farm folk don’t pay vets to euthanize animals. Bullets are cheaper and justcas humane.
97% of Americans do not understand this.
bttt
97% of Americans do not understand this.
Those 97% don't seem to understand that many of the animals who go to their deaths at the vet have a keen sense of smell, and may be able to make a rough guess as to what's coming.
Terror from the vet office smell, or bouncing around happy as a clam in a gravel pit?
My advice is to steer clear of owning animals in whackjob 2020s America.
Yup. I think this story should be taken in context of her being a farmer/rancher thrown into a difficult situation as a teenager when her father died. Maybe reading her book in which she cites this might shed a different light on her actions.
” Farm folk don’t pay vets to euthanize animals. “
Yes. This whole story is nonsense, and just shows that too many people in North America are too many generations off the farm.
Stupidized by liberalism and sentimentalism, from living in concrete towers and mostly seeing animals on TV or social media.
When I was a little kid, Grandfather’s old dog bit my younger brother in the face.
When we went into town that afternoon, “Major” disappeared, never to be seen again. Shot and buried, and that was it.
Used to they didn’t pay to have the spayed or neutered either. They just got rid of the litter (cats and dogs)
100% correct... You get rid of nuisance animals.
I spent my first years on a farm and when our St. Bernard attacked a neighbor he had to be put down.
They sent me into the bedroom, but being a kid, I sneaked out and watched as the farm owner {an old Italian LEGAL immigrant} fed the dog his last meal and put a round into his head, which is the way I've done it with all of the animals that I've had to put down.
If you've never done it, it sounds cruel, but it's no different than a shot from the vet {and hundreds of dollars cheaper}.
Farmers put down dogs all the time that kill livestock, especially goats and chickens. You can not “train” that out of them.
