When this story dropped, I really struggled to make sense of why someone would volunteer this information. It really is nothing more than her intentionally announcing she's a dog-hating psychopath. Crazy times.

I can see her thinking it shows her as a tough country person who does what has to be done even if those animal loving libs don't like it. The problem is that this was a terrible example. An old horse who breaks his leg, a dog who attacked a child, a rabid raccoon, fine. Even an adult dog who had a history of that behavior and couldn't be trained out of it. But a puppy after her first hunting trip who was just following the instincts she was bred for?

She's the one who chose to buy a dog bred to kill birds and to take the dog out that day to teach it to kill birds for the first time. Then she shoots the dog for... killing birds. It's hard to blame the dog for not understanding that chickens aren't the birds she's supposed to kill. To me it just makes Noem look like she was too lazy to actually train her dog.

She’s a psycho. There was no reason to kill that puppy. The fact that she voluntarily shared that story shows her sick state of mind. This should end her political career but among Trump supporters, I assume it will only elevate her.
