South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem Admits To Shooting Her Own Dog

[kpete]

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, a frontrunner to be named as Donald Trump's running mate, admitted to killing her family dog for misbehavior.

“I hated that dog,” Noem wrote, adding that the 14-month-old wirehair pointer was “dangerous to anyone she came in contact with” and “less than worthless … as a hunting dog”.

.................

As detailed in an article by The Guardian, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, a prominent contender for Donald Trump’s vice-presidential nomination, has ignited controversy with her latest book, “No Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward.” In the book, Noem shares personal stories from her life in South Dakota, including her decision to shoot her aggressive dog, Cricket, as well as a troublesome family goat.

The book describes a disturbing day during the hunting season that ended fatally for both animals. Cricket, a 14-month-old wirehair pointer known for her “aggressive personality,” disrupted a pheasant hunt with uncontrollable excitement, later wreaking havoc by attacking a local family’s chickens. Noem narrates that the situation escalated to the point where she felt compelled to take drastic measures, leading her to shoot the dog in a gravel pit.

The narrative takes a grimmer turn as Noem recounts dealing with a family goat that had become a nuisance due to its aggressive behavior and offensive smell. After an unsuccessful first attempt, Noem, similar to her action with Cricket, took the goat to the same gravel pit to end its life, an act witnessed unexpectedly by a construction crew and her children’s school bus.

Governor Noem uses these grim stories to underscore a theme of her book: her readiness to perform “difficult, messy, and ugly” tasks that she deems necessary, reflecting her ethos in both her political and personal life. These stark admissions serve as illustrations of her uncompromising nature and her willingness to make tough decisions, characteristics she evidently values.

1. Fucking psychopath!

[Johonny]

2. If she will kill her dog, she will certainly kill you

If she finds it nessessary for her career. Beware of the self admitted psychopath

[harumph]

6. Not defending Noem at all, but it is common for people often take their

sick pets to be "euthanized" by a vet. In prior times and in rural areas, without the benefit of a vet, it was/is common for
people to "put down" sickly or dangerous pets and or livestock. Not a pleasant topic but a fact.

5. Noem capping the nutted goat is not going to go over well with the...

Base. There’s way too much, “in it’s hooves, go I” for even the lowest of brows not to get.

The dog, nah.

8. It is wild that she thinks these stories raise her profile with her base

and frightening that it probably does.

9. What an ASSHOLE

She wasn't "doing something difficult." She was ridding herself of what she considered inconveniences. Easy for a sociopath like her. She didn't give a flying fuck except for the optics.

Decades with hunting- and bird-dogs, and the number I've killed because they were chicken-sharp or had too much prey drive is ZERO. Puppies need slow exposure to birds, and bird-scent.

She killed a puppy because she was lazy at training bird dogs, not because it was a bad dog.

Not every dog is for the field, but 99.9% of them are trainable or re-homeable. We have one now who was never going in the field, but I didn't kill her. She's sleeping on the couch.

You down old dogs, hurt dogs, and sick dogs humanely, not by shooting them and tossing them in a gravel pit.

Unsporting and deliberately cruel...but she wrote this to prove the cruelty is the point.
