"... daughter who had to come home from a hard day at school to find that her mom had murdered her dog. ... Let’s hear what SHE has to say...."
Walter, you know what she has to say ... nothing. You ask a kid of a parent like that what reaction she has when her parent kills a pet and I can almost guarantee what the response will be - she will turn to look at you with a blank stare - dead eyes that reflect how dead she feels inside. She can't feel because to do so exposes her to a long, long history of that kind of psychopathology filling up every corner of her life. It existed when she was a baby and pre-speech (and as a result often doesn't even have the words for the feelings she has) right through her formative years, as she carefully, carefully stepped around each potential mistake she might make so as not to anger that parent, not to make herself the target.
And then, to make things worse, she's not even going to be able to hide behind anonymity - to live in a state where people won't come up to her and ask those kind of questions. By state I mean a condition of being, not an area surrounded by borders. Because, on top of everything else going on in her young life, her mother is "important" enough to be "followed," physically by news media and digitally by social media. That makes her daughter a target of those same types of media. This poor kid is not safe at home and she's not safe when she ventures out into the larger world.
So, I'm hoping, but not counting on the kindness of others to do what is right. Leave her alone, don't ask her anything; just let her be. Please! Anyone who reads this, let her grow up. Some day she will have to deal with all this crap - hopefully with a supportive and loving partner, wonderful friends and, likely, with the help of a good therapist.
The cruelty is always the point. And when they think women should die for a fetus, of course they think their dog should die because they fucked up and didn't train it properly. Republicans are depraved and they are wired differently than those that vote on the left. It's time the media/independent media start highlighting that even more.
Women are being maimed because of their abortion bans. Children are getting their bodies obliterated by guns in school. Dogs are being shot and maga thinks that means YER TOUGH. Its just another day in red state hell. And they fucking love it.

Republicans are sick. They are not ok.
