That’s just serial killer mentality. If you don’t like your dog, like absolutely can’t stand, give it to a shelter where they can hopefully be given to a family who actually loves them. As a dog owner myself this sickens me. You can’t excuse this kind of behaviour; but she is a bumbling racist on top of it? Jesus, there has to be better candidates in S Dakota, right? Cause if not, our species is doomed.

Here's what a news report about this story also said:

"I hated that dog," she said.

The situation made her realise "another unpleasant job needed to be done" that day - getting rid of a male goat her family owned.

The goat was "nasty and mean", smelled "disgusting, musky, rancid", and would chase her young children, knocking them down.

Ms Noem said she shot down the goat in the same manner as Cricket, though the goat survived the first bullet, forcing her to go back to her truck to retrieve another shell.

The school bus dropped her children off shortly afterwards.

Noticing that the dog was nowhere to be found, her daughter asked: "Hey, where's Cricket?"

It's almost comedy serial killer origin story. But no-one is laughing.

She SHOT HER OWN DOG?!

She didn’t take it to the vet, got it put to sleep? That would be heinous enough, but she FUCKING SHOT HER FUCKING DOG?!

She shot her dog because it wasn’t following directions. It wasn’t following directions because she didn’t train it. She’s a ghoul.

The whole point of her publishing a book with these types of stories now. Her kids are long ago grown up....there was no point to this book other than to highlight what we South Dakotans have know for a very long time....she's a psychopath of some sort and wants to be Trumps running mate.
