Of course, she didn't have to kill the dog; if she hadn't been so lazy and cold-hearted she could have either made the effort to train the dog properly, or hire someone who could, or find another home for her; and she could have had the aggressive goat neutered. But it was easier and more convenient to just shoot them. As far as she was concerned they were just malfunctioning machines that she could discard like a broken toaster. It's bad enough that she did it; bragging about it shows us exactly who and what she is.
