Kristi Noem shot a puppy for being untrainable as a hunting dog

have no problem with killing a terminally aggressive dog or goat. People do this in farming and hunting families but they don't talk about it in their books, at least not in that way. It's a sad event, and one to reflect on soberly about what you could have done better. It's true that domestic animals can get hostile. There are many courses of action available before shooting them.

The problem is that she's exploiting a violent action involving a gun to try and hit all the Republican MAGA pressure points about self-reliance, gun worship and offending the soft urbanites who flinch at the idea of taking care of business oneself. THAT is disrespectful to the real farm and hunting life.

The dog was not “terminally aggressive”. Noem was just an idiot dog owner who had no clue about the breed and no patience to train it correctly.

I mean, she shot a goat for being a goat. So I think it's more than just a lack of patience.

She had to put down three horses at the same time? How likely is that? I guess pretty likely if your owner is a psychopath and you’re no longer convenient.

This is a German Wirehair Pointer, not a Pit Bull. Pointers are not terminally aggressive. They are large dogs that want to work all day in the field, that are bred to point on a bird and hold the point until the hunter flushes the game, that are bred to retrieve the downed bird to the hunter with a soft mouth that doesn’t leave bite marks. 1/3 of Labradors are gunshy, but I’ve never heard of a GWP that was. You can read breeders online who won’t even sell pups unless they are going to hunt. With genes like those, you can bet the Breeder would take Cricket back, and if nothing else get 4 or 5 litters out of her. Governor Noem clearly heard someone praise GWP without realizing how much work they are, and got Cricket without investing the time and patience needed to train her. (She had 3–count them—3 kids, and didn’t realize who did have the time and patience and love to train her.) This is like a city slicker who shoots 3 times at a pheasant rooster and misses, and blames the shotgun for inaccuracy, and runs it over with a backhoe. Well, it’s always the poor workman who blames his tools, as we used to say on the farm, and when you point a finger you got 3 more pointing back at you, as we also used to say on the farm. I don’t get these country folk who make excuses for city slickers, instead of calling them out for what they are: lying sadistic conniving hypocritical wasteful con artists. South Dakota used to have fine people like the Non Partisan League, like George McGovern, like Tom Daschle. My grandmother came from South Dakota. She wouldn’t have been caught dead voting for drunks who kill people going 100 miles per hour and lying spendthrifts like Governor Noem. Maybe that’s why this country is going to hell in a hand basket. Shoot your dogs in the face, but don’t act like it makes you the salt of the earth. It makes you into worse thugs than Mexican migrants and inner city African Americans.

Well said.

It's more responsible than dumping, either outside or at a shelter. Taking care of the problem rather than sticking someone else with it.

What problem? She couldn't afford dog food? She could keep the dog in her house.

No, you take it to a shelter. A young, purebred pointer will be sitting pretty in Brooklyn going to town on a pup cup with some rich DINKs in a week.

Yeah, you think it's better to pawn it off on someone else. There are plenty of dogs in the world. Take care of your dog yourself, don't stick it in someone else. Fwiw, hounds are terrible in NYC. What a clueless post.

Would it be OK for you to be shot if you can't do one job? Plenty of people in the world too.

It wasn’t a problem. It was a puppy who wasn’t qualified to help her shoot birds and wasn’t trained in a day so she killed him. Knowing he wasn’t trained she had no business having him unleashed. She is trash.

She is a Communist. Only they do things like that.

You keep using that word but I don’t think it means what you think it means…

At some point you're just a shitty pet owner and should just stop owning dogs if you can't train, control them or protect them.

The dog was violent and killed other animals. It's aggressive behavior wouldn't have been tolerated in a shelter and the shelter would have to put the dog down anyway.

what I hear you saying is you approve of Noem's shooting a puppy. Or that shooting a puppy isn't really that bad. Is that correct? Is that your opinion? Or are you just trying to deflect? Please be honest now!

No, I don't care that she shot a dog she owns that exhibited negative behavior. This is a joke of an issue.

Considering Republicans are okay with child rape and trafficking, pet murder is pretty tame. If you have lots of guns, everything becomes a target.

It was a puppy being taught to hunt birds. A responsible dog owner would have kept the leash on the pup around domestic chickens.

A responsible owner would have returned the pup to the breeder.

Only a narcissistic sociopath would shoot the puppy.

Trump must love her.

+1 Cricket seemed to be an exuberant young dog who Noem had no business keeping since she had no patience and no interest in training. She's a monster.
