Not a post for the sensitive TW

Just filling up this space so it can’t be viewed by those who do not want to read this. This is extremely brutal. TRIGGER WARNING. This post talks about the suffering of animals in great gory detail. But I need you to understand the reasoning for why things happened.

Imagine you live on a farm and a dog comes and kills half your livestock. People witness it and call the county sheriff who calls you and he apologizes profusely because he could not stop the dog from killing and didn’t have the heart to shoot it and just chased it off. He tells you that you have legal right to kill any animal that comes onto your land and threatens your livestock.

Your animals that you’ve had for years, some of them pregnant.. all over your land... throats ripped out.

The ones that are not dead.. you go and asses the situation. one has a hole in its face, nasal cavities exposed. You quickly wrap her face back together to help with bleeding. The other one has an ear that’s hanging on by the grace of god and muscle hanging from its neck where the dog barely missed the artery and ripped out the muscle instead. So you have to call a vet and pray you don’t have to put down the rest of your goats. The vet comes out and you spend $500 to stitch them back together while you hold the poor goats down while they scream in pain from being sewed back together and having muscle cut off.. one goat had to have the muscle cut off of it because it was just dead tissue at that point and the vet said it was just going to get infected if just left there. They spend 2 hours putting your animals that you consider pets back together again like Humpty Dumpty. They gave them pain reliever and antibiotics and anti inflammatories to help swelling and then you have to go out and buy all the stuff to disinfect the wounds daily and keep it clean and you have to tie them up to clean and doctor the wounds because it’s painful for them even on pain medication. The goat that had its nasal cavities torn open and sewn back shut can barely breathe from all the swelling so bad it’s drooling on itself even while on anti inflammatories so you have to go get ice and ice her poor face. They’re traumatized, they’re hurting. They’re also pregnant, and the vet said they should have miscarried from the stress but by some miracle they haven’t. Even though you just had them treated and have them on antibiotics, because of the nature and brutally of the wounds they might still get infection and die. After dealing with the living... you have to go and retrieve every dead animal you consider your friends and dispose of their bodies while you cry.

This dog got put down. People are calling you disgusting monsters for having the dog put down. Is that wrong? I don’t feel like it’s wrong. The dog died in a way more peaceful way than it killed.
