MODERATORS
Having grown up and still have the majority of my family live in rural areas, you're correct in that there's a mentality that animals are tools, a means to an end. But I don't think many with that mentality will be forgiving of her for this.
With that mentality there is also a general understanding that these are "dumb animals" who can and will fuck up and especially hunting dogs need a lot of training. A dog who fails the training isn't usually put down, just either given some less strict job, kept as a pet or put up for adoption. Taking her at her word, it sounds like the dog had killed some chickens and had turned towards her and tried biting. But being the dog was only 14 months old, sounds like it had an excited temperament and hadn't learned just how much bigger than other animals it truly is. Hardly a reason to kill an animal, even if it was just raised as a tool.
14 months is still a puppy. What a piece of shit.
