There are public libraries nearby, aren’t there? I’m sure the farmer could get help at the public library where someone would help by contacting a dog rescue outfit for him.
Some people just can’t resist saving a mama dog and puppies. A horse or a cow won’t die protecting a farmer, but dogs will fight to the death to protect their owners. Lots of folks here on FR know that.
I’m only pointing out that there exists an alternative to killing a mama dog and her puppies.
” but dogs will fight to the death to protect their owners.”
Not necessarily. Some dogs will kill their owners.
Lots of them won’t do either (kill them or protect them).

Yeah that’s ostensibly the point of this article.
But the Amish do everything on their own—like healthcare. Without government support.
Yours and my reaction would be to shovel the problem off to the local animal shelter—where they would either find a home for mama dog and her puppies or put them down. Either way, the responsibility for the animal is off our hands.
Whenever you read an Amish story—map it over onto Lubivitchers to see how the story fits into the liberal narrative. Both groups keep old ways and both groups are self reliant—both of which characteristics are anethma to liberals
