Hi, I’m your average city-dweller, totally disconnected from nature and animal husbandry.
Today I heard that a politician shot her dog and goat and I’m very upset about it.
I’ve never raised an animal of any kind (except my cat, Stockholm), and the only time I’ve been around any animals other than my cat is when I go to the city zoo and when I see emotional support dogs at CostCo.
But culling animals is always wrong and immoral, even if they present a danger to other people.
Even folks who are hunters and farmers, familiar with killing animals for food or reasonable cause, find the story one about having the right stuff to be a dispassionate killer not about protecting anything. The takeaway for me is remember I'm a cold hearted wench, not I'm a naturalist that understands what to weigh in taking any life.
