Famous influencer and her husband were heavily criticized
In 2021, Nikki Phillippi disclosed that she and her husband, Dan, made the decision to euthanize their family dog, Browser, a 9-year-old bull terrier.
Why did the couple euthanize the dog?
According to the two, Browser, the family dog, had shown behavior problems, including aggression. Despite this, they moved on.
However, an event was the trigger for the couple to decide to "get rid" of the dog: Browser bit the face of the couple's son, which made them very angry. Nikki and Dan reinforced that the animal was always a dangerous animal, but it was a little quieter indoors.
The couple even hired professionals to try to reverse the situation, but sacrifice was the option they found. Before opting for that, they even looked for a new home for Browser, but did not find it.
Criticism of the couple
Nikki and Dan's decision was met with a lot of criticism and accusations of cruelty by many social media users. Some questioned the justification given by the couple and argued that the death of the pet would not be the most suitable option. In addition, netizens claim that there are better ways to deal with a pet's behavior problems.
Resignation
The situation became even more controversial when Nikki revealed that she and her husband had lost their jobs because of the repercussions of the case. According to her, the companies they worked for were pressured to fire them thanks to the episode involving the dog.
