Sorry, y'all. I'm going to align myself with the trainers. Even at my advanced age, I'm still learning. I never would have believed that I'd be butting heads with a bunch of conservatives who were defending the killing of a young dog.

I take it you disagree with the dog trainer?

I must say that I'm flummoxed by so many on this thread who are making excuses for her. She's not tough. She doesn't make difficult decisions. She's cruel. And a fool for including this incident in her book.

For the record, thanks to the Dog Whisperer, I do believe you can re-home a dog. And that you can teach it how to behave properly. But only if that's a priority for you. But if you just need the problem gone, bang bang. Sickening.

Not many people are true dog whisperers. You could end up like that bear whisperer.
Sorry, but that boat sailed when the dog bit the owner. Game over. But go ahead. adopt some dog that mauled a kid or bit the owner and have them watch your kids. In farm country, you need the problem gone. A line (actually two lines) has been crossed.

But by all means, if you want, adopt one of these poor, misunderstood, critters that bites the hand that feeds it, and rehabilitate it. I'd almost bet you don't believe in capital punishment for 'misguided' humans, either. As someone observed, had this been a pit bull, some folks here would be cheering instead of decrying Noem.

This dog WAS rehomed - to Noem. She isn't cruel. She did a necessary act.

It was one thing when the immigrants were from northern European Tribes, with similar enough backgrounds to assimilate (and contribute) to American Culture. But now we are importing people who our ancestors fought for hundreds of years, with few cultural similarities, who will not assimilate, and that isn't likely to end well.

You are absolutely correct, they will NOT assimilate. Tearing down the American flag and putting up a flag from the country that they came from is just a simple example.

...and people vote in those like Ilhan Omar and AOC; what the heck are people thinking? 

The protests at our universities are just the beginning I'm afraid. 

Hit 'em where it hurts ... the wallet.
