Stephen Hunter wrote a long list of action novels about the Swagger family. One was updated and turned into the movie ‘Shooter’_ Donnie Wahlberg. He’s this world class sniper, back from desert wars, and powerful dark forces are trying to set him up as patsy for an assassination. He figures it out, and goes after the bunch of them. A crooked Senator pleads, “Why’re you doing this?”
“You killed my dog; he wasn’t doing anything wrong. You shouldn’t have killed my dog.”
Excellent point. The intense bond between owner and pet is fierce. And it is most obvious in the 21st century. Any parent who has ever confronted a furbaby mommy or daddy in the park knows that if their 120 lb furmutt charges your five year old whilst snarling and barking, the first words out of their mouths would likely be (as your shaking child sobs uncontrollably into your shoulder), "Oh, my. My old Lucifer would never hurt a fly. He is so sweet and so good with children. Unfortunately, your child must have done something he didn't like. Are you okay, my widdle sweetums,? You're a good doggie. Mommy will take you home and give you a nice treat." A most curious blindness here. (Yes, yes, I quickly add I know not all pet owners are like that).

Wonder how the Covid Karens would react to losing their lapdogs or cats. They won't like the surprise food shortages either.
I hear you both loud and clear. But are you sure these Covid Karens would object to the killing of your dogs or cats?
Not mine. But their own pets would have them screaming more than harm to human children would.
