No, this is entirely unacceptable! Hopefully she will be convicted.

at no point did the article mention the woman's political persuasion, and it is disinformation to try and put a political spin on a very sad situation.

the woman is clearly an unfit parent.

the spint might actually suggest that some liberals might be getting pretty desperate in their attempt to "turn the tide".

No, one idiot turning this into a political thing does not mean that all liberal's are desperate just as if it turns out this mother is a republican does it mean that all republican's are crazy.

My parents used to threaten to sell my horse when I was younger, can you imagine if one day they forced me to shot it? I am sure it would have screwed me up for life. Sickening, just sickening.

It's child abuse plain and simple. Not to mention, animal abuse.

Beyond disturbing. It's animal and child abuse. CPS and HSUS should both be called. Clearly this mother is unfit to parent.

The fact that the OP tried to pin this on a political ideology is beyond demented.

I don't see what the pet has to do with the bad grade. I'd recommend grounding instead, though the pet is already gone.

What level of ignorance does it take to even come up with that? I've seen some really bad posts by you, but this one takes the cake. Twittered Scott Baio lately? This sounds like something a person that makes a post like that would do.. Happy Days star Scott Baio calls in FBI over Twitter death threats about Michelle Obama 'joke' | Mail Online
There is low and then there is that special level of low. You own it!

A republican mom? Are you just hateful of all conservatives?

No child should ever be forced to kill ANYTHING, let alone a pet. That is great way to screw up a kid.

Should the government get involved? Of course not. Are you kidding? The feds should stay the hell out of our homes. God knows they have thier fingers in everything else.

This OP has serious issues and needs help. He is so blinded by his rage and hate that he will probably end up doing something violent in the near future. Hopefully he gets some help soon because he really needs it. The posts used to just be silly, but they have started going over the top lately.
