Mindy McCready Commits Suicide

2013-02-18 by andcas | 123 Comments
Mindy McCready has reportedly taken her own life with a self-inflicted gunshot wound at her Arkansas home. The country singer had a fruitful musical career in the late 90’s but fizzled out due to a string of personal demons. She had recently been battling the passing of boyfriend David Wilson who was a recording producer that met the same fate.

The grief caused McCready to enter rehab where she attempted to recover from a long withstanding drug addiction. Unfortunately the dark path of previous suicide attempts and run-ins with the law were apparently too much to bear. She leaves behind two sons and a sense of what could’ve been had circumstances played out differently in the end.

It's a shame but maybe she thought nobody would care for the dog when she was gone. obviously she wasn't in a good frame of mind

meanwhile most of the "glad she's dead" people here moralizing about a suicide victim killing their pet probably eat meat from factory farms where animals are routinely crammed into dark warehouse-like conditions and treated cruelly for their entire lives. kneejerk reactions prevail

I didn't demonize her, I just understand why people are flipping out about the dog being shot for no reason. And yeah, I have a bias because have dedicated my life to getting dogs out of abusive situations where they are beaten and killed for no reason in the south by people of supposedly sound mind. Don't be so quick to let her off the hook because she was from the south and they do that shit all the time

Then again I'm half french and we're kinda like whatever when it comes to meat in those southern

I just understand why people are flipping out about the dog being shot for no reason

We eat cows and pigs because we have been doing so for ages. We don't eat dogs because we have chosen them for companions for ages. The only reason we aren't chowing down on a golden retriever now is because of us.

In other words, artificial selection is a real bitch.

I have dealt with that pit bull stigma firsthand, and until pretty recently, that stereotype was everywhere, until rescues started specifically focusing on finding pit bulls homes. A lot of rescues have gone under because of their focus on just pit bulls too, because people still have the idea that they are violent in the back of their heads
