But instead, she says she was angry that Cricket was “uncontrollable” despite screaming and using a shock collar, that it only escalated when Cricket continued to see it as “fun” to kill chickens as instinct told it to do, and then happiness when she drug a puppy to a gravel pit and blasted it with a shotgun in front of several witnesses. So much so that she then repeated the act (poorly) with another animal that had also angered her, botching it so badly that she had to go back to her car for more shotgun shells.

Those witnesses are the reason the story ever saw print.
