Setting an example.
“Setting an example.”
I’m not going to read the article as I don’t need convincing the government has become boundless in power and stupidity. But I’m guessing this guy didn’t own a dog, or the headline would have included, “and shot his dog.” I’m convinced the rash of dog shootings are intended as pure intimidation. Abusive parents frequently kill their kid’s pets to intimidate them. That’s what government has become, an abusive parental figure.
