Conservatives are 100% A-OK with puppy killing. Conservatives see empathy as a weakness. The story of her killing a puppy was a brag.
Being from the south, I have heard numerous stories of people executing dogs for not being good hunters. This is one of the common ways conservatives around here boast about how “strong” they are. “Look how little empathy I have! I am heartless enough to kill anything for any reason”.
This is just who conservatives are at their core. Cold, inhumane, self-serving sociopaths.
