In reply to the discussion: FAFO story of the day: Carrie Underwood can't find hired hands to help her with the ranch. [View all]Duppers
(28,469 posts)And here's proof to me that she's a decent person:
"If you told me I could never be around animals again, I would just die."
In April 2022, Underwood shared the loss of her dog, Ace, whom she had adopted in 2007.
Ten months later, Underwood shared she had adopted a new dog, named Charlie, who she met backstage while touring in Charlotte, North Carolina.
In April 2013, Underwood spoke out with disapproval regarding the Tennessee "Ag Gag bill".
The bill makes it a crime to videotape animal cruelty or abuse and then fail to turn in the evidence to authorities within 48 hours. This is to stop animal rights activists from accumulating enough documentation to prove that animal cruelty is routine in big agribusiness.
Underwood tweeted, "Shame on TN lawmakers for passing the Ag Gag bill. If Gov. Bill Haslam signs this, he needs to expect me at his front door. Who's with me?"
State Rep. Andy Holt responded to her tweet, saying, "I would say that Carrie Underwood will stick to singing, I'll stick to lawmaking."
Underwood later responded via Twitter, "I should stick to singing? Wow...sorry, I'm just a tax-paying citizen concerned for the safety of my family."

I'm damn disappointed in Andy Holt (Jr).
I thought his dad was a nice person (sat behind him once many decades ago in the Tennessee Theater on Gay Street. We had a nice conversation.)
But Andy, Jr. can just go to hell ❗❗
