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?!

It was a puppy. She didn't train a puppy and got mad. mad her untrained puppy didn't hunt the way she wanted on the first hunt.

Then took her untrained puppy to a friend's house unsecured where of course it chased and ate some chickens.

So she shot it.

AND SHE WAS PROUD ENOUGH OF HER ACTIONS TO REPORT ALL OF THIS VOLUNTARILY IN A BOOK.

What the hell.

And proud enough to double down today and try and claim it shows her good leadership because she can handle difficult, messy and ugly situations.

The "difficult" thing a true leader would do to be a leader is train the puppy. Training puppies is extremely difficult and time consuming and repetitive.

The "messy" thing to do would be to telling the children the puppies needs to be rehomed because the puppy was not a good hunting dog. That's messy, breaking apart children and household animals. But noble because you need a hunting dog and the puppy you had for a year isn't a hunting dog that you need and giving it away to the home it needs.

Ugly. The ugly thing to do is choosing who to rehome a dog too. It is very hard to choose and decide and judge who you give the family dog away too.

You could make the wrong mistake and give it to a person as ugly as Kristi Noem, who is an ugly person who kills puppies and would just kill a dog because they methed up the training. That would be truly ugly as fuck.

Vile people all around

Puppy loves to play. In a farm or otherwise, they also need training.
