Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Is this the woman who also killed that bear for sport?

When I was barely a teenager our neighbor’s dog came into our property and killed/ate all of our chickens.

We later learned that they ended up shooting the dog. The “common sense” regarding this was that once dogs get a taste for chicken they will never stop coming back to get more.

I don’t know if that’s true and in our situation it wasn’t a puppy but this isn’t the first time I’ve heard of a dog being killed for eating chickens.

Couldn't they just have, I don't know, kept the dog on a fucking leash like the rest of civilized society?

We lived in the sticks with 10’s of acres of land per family.

They could have. But I don’t know anyone who did except for those who lived in town.

I don’t know if that’s true

I'm like 90% sure it's not, it's just one of those things that people do as a kind of "common sense" solution, because dogs are generally seen as a pretty disposable object. Like how they used to kill, and maybe still do kill idk, any animal that kills or attacks a person, just kind of on the basis that "that there animal is a man killer. ain't no goin' back from that, it's got a taste for it now.". Just dumb shit.

This has nothing to do with animals, and the incidents probably never even happened.

She is advocating for the return of concentration camps and gas chambers.

I wouldn't put it past her.

[–] Rottcodd@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

No surprise there - she's a crass opportunist with no principles and no empathy; what else is she going to do?

It's likely that she isn't even dissembling - that she's sincerely defending her actions because she's so psychologically crippled that she genuinely can't see how anyone could legitimately take exception to them.

Remember when Mit Romney drove around for vacation with the dog on the car's roof storage bin?

By comparison Mit wins this round...I mean time count vs bullet count.
