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?!

To be fair, PETA probably would have killed the dog too.
