This is honestly insane lmao. Her wackadoodle husband missed a point blank shot on a dog sheltering in their porch. Woman blames everyone but herself.
Peasant Homesteader shoots 2 dogs in 2 days, one just sheltering on her porch. Cries because of the trauma.

Shooting a feral dog on your porch isn't "insane"

Yeah I think we're going to have very different reactions to this thread from people who grew up in the country or not

Yeah real homesteaders would've wiped out the whole pack the moment they started killing their animals, let alone when they witnessed them fricking disembowel a pig. A real homesteader wouldn't have left the carcass for the neighbor to see and would've drove it out a few miles and dumped it in a ditch.

Sounds like something a man without a "Gut Pit" would say. Carcasses/offal gets carried away to a designated pit away from camp and preferably anything else. A busy year at the skinning post would see >150 deer and untold other animals thrown in. After a few years you cap it with topsoil and dig a new pit. The smell will etch itself onto your very soul.

I have an old pond I dump dead cows into, but I wouldn’t want to dump my neighbors dead dog in there. Too easy to find if they go looking for it and already suspect me. Not to mention I’ve seen cow bones and hide dragged over a mile away from the pit by coyotes.

Do dead horses ever end up in there?

Maybe im too rural but i thought that it was understood that if your dog comes on my land and attacks my animals, im going to shoot it. Leaving dead animals out as a warning to others doesnt work though so thats a weird choice.

Of course they wouldn't think twice about shooting a pack of wild dogs. They also wouldn't cry about it online, unless they're very new or just dumb.

"they" didn't, the foid did, in order to garner sympathy on reddit. Very par for the course, the only thing unusual is that this post is on reddit and not facebook.

The moid is the real r-slur for traumatizing his hoe and making him look like a fool on reddit. Truly the worst crime.

Missing a point blank shotgun shot on a dog on your porch to the extent that you have now fricked the porch and paint is... something. My foid wouldnt be happy about executing dogs but she'd at least understand why we need to do it cleanly.

That's really the part that is most concerning that no one will just let me have. It's a fricking bizarre way to handle things

It wasn't fricking feral just because the r-slur who doesn't belong on a homestead assumed so. Feral dogs don't think of human porches as shelter. Hope this helps.

Feral or not, it's an enemy combatant and we don't take prisoners.

Don't shoot combatants in your home if you have the option move them outside

I'm guessing they were too kitty to move it and just shot from their doorway.
Oh, i see, you're reading this as the doggo inside their home? I'm definitely seeing an open porch like this, especially with the description of the 'white wood railings'

See i'm thinking of a large enclosed screen porch as is common in rural homes throughout the midwest. The fact the blood wasn't washed away by the rain and they had to do it theirselves made me think this. I def could be wrong.

No. I say this as someone who grew up in a very rural area and saw strays and ferals at least weekly. They never tried to shelter in our open barns, porches, enclosed trailers etc. They normally have a healthy fear of humans. Of course my experience isn't the end all be all either. But just anecdotally they're either aggressive or afraid. Joining a human in shelter implies a certain level of trust and respect that I do not normally associate with strays. At the end of the day who knows or cares i guess

Didn't know we had a dog expert here, my bad. What other genius behavioral insights can you make from the two sentences of detail the OP provided?
