What is this Farms and Ranches constituency that loves killing dogs? I grew up on a farm and had to kill a lot of animals (rabid raccoons, injured deer, opossums, rodents, etc) and hated it every time. I would never kill a dog unless it was a direct threat. And it would be unthinkable to revel in it.
We had a rescued stray that was a great dog. Loyal as fuck and my best friend the 4 or 5 months we had him.
One day it nipped at my sister when she accidentally stepped on his leg. That was enough for my parents to take him to an animal shelter. Broke my heart. But the point is, no one was itching to take it out back and shoot it. That's some false farm shit. And having a gravel pit killing ground for annoying animals (she killed a goat there too, according to the book) is psychopath territory.
She's a hobbiest rancher at best. Her income is around $3M and I highly doubt she's touched a real working ranch lifestyle since she was a kid. She makes $250K/year as a landlord alone. Killing animals because they aren't good on a pheasant hunt is a hobby, not a necessity.
