I mean, that’s exactly what jeffw said. The dog killed the wrong birds. And got shot for it.
There’s better ways to handle that than killing the animal in cold blood. Retrain it. Give it to someone else. Take it to the pound. You know, something other than calling it over to a gravel pit and shooting it in the fucking head.
Where I’m from, most farmers with chickens would have shot the dog first. If your animal kills someone else’s livelihood, they are going to react poorly.
While its fucked to kill your own dog, this is a common reason to put down animals.
Putting down animals for misbehaving is fundamentally fucked and anyone who does it shouldn’t be allowed around animals - or as they say where you’re from - “While its fucked to kill your own kind, this is a common reason to put down animals.”
On the way home from the hunting trip, Noem writes that she stopped to talk to a family. Cricket got out of Noem’s truck and attacked and killed some of the family’s chickens, then bit the governor.
Also the purpose of a bird hunting dog is not to kill the birds but to help the hunter locate them, flush them out of their hideouts and retrieve them after they’ve been shot by the hunter.
If you think any of those things is a reason to lead a puppy to a gravel pit and shoot it, I sincerely hope you don’t ever have any dogs you are responsible for.
Just to be clear…. On a bird hunting trip, the dog killed some birds… the wrong birds, but still birds. And that’s a reason to murder it?

My old boss’s retriever dog killed a chicken once. He told her ‘no!’ very sternly, and taught her not to do that. She never killed a chicken again.
At least try training the animal first, for fuck’s sake
