      Putting down a dog without a good reason isn’t animal cruelty most places if you put it down humanely.

      This weird and gross and downright disturbing, but it isn’t animal cruelty unless she shot it in the stomach to watch it bleed out or something. Which honestly, she may have for all we know, she’s obviously unhinged or very, very dumb.

        Killing an animal because you don’t want it is animal cruelty. Maybe not legally but the laws rarely follow public morality.

        If animals are in excess there are shelters and they have better ways than a gunshot in a gravel pit.

        I’d still call it cruelty, especially the fact that she claimed she led it to the gravel pit. She called the puppy over and shot it.

        In that she spared it from a life of under an abusive owner? I literally have no idea wtf you’re trying to say and I’m trying to give you the benefit of the doubt
