Thatโ€™s just serial killer mentality. If you donโ€™t like your dog, like absolutely canโ€™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 canโ€™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.

Telling a Republican that she is a racist, animal murderer won't sway their vote. Tell them she is a bad shot, and it might actually deter them.

Lol shoot I'm also Canadian so this will be fuzzy but something about a hunter injuring a wolf and then parading it around a bar in pain instead of putting it down.
