There are very few genuine accidents. Catturd killed his dog because:
- he was neglectful by failing to ensure the dogs were safe before moving his vehicle

"Few" is not the same as "none". I know 2 loving, responsible pet owners who've had this happen. Gates fail, children open doors, animals dart under the bumpers of normal-sized cars. Shit happens and the guilt these people feel is enormous. May you never have to find this out yourself.
What we are witnessing right now is a schism in reactionary right wing politics that will inevitably end in a liberal pro-dog lobby and a conservative dog murder lobby.
At the end of the day, a reactionary conservatives job in 2024 is to look at the compassionate stance and take the opposite.
