This convo (though subject matter feels worse) seems similar to explaining the whole ivermectin thing to people calling it horse paste mockingly. Yes, using ivermectin as an unproven cure for covid is a bad idea, but no need to mock it with horse paste. Lots if rural and poor areas will use ivermectin from vet or farm supply shops and it is still useful in killing what it’s meant to kill, such as those parasites that cause blindness in river water.
Rural places often don things that seem strange other places, and carrying out euthanasia yourself may be necessary or common in farming areas with little access to the same facilities urban and suburban people enjoy. It’s probably easier on the mind of farm owners as they deal with animal death more often, and since even pets may end up seriously harmed by wild predators mercy killing probably happens too.
What background? The “that’s how the rural people do it” background? Because that’s also irrelevant. And she should know better anyway.
I grew up in a third world country. Cat calling women was the norm. I haven’t cat-called a woman in decades. If I said “well, you know… that’s normal in my culture, everyone does it” after being educated and reading a lot, then my background justification would be just bullshit.

Yeah, the ivermectin comment is irrelevant here.
She didn’t euthanize the pets because they were suffering (they were not.) She did it because she sucks.
I agree, but I meant how he was just explaining the background, not defending her actions.
