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

Cricket got loose, attacked and killed several chicken belonging to another family so she shot Cricket. More recently her other dog Hazel died "in an accident". 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.

If she isn't smart enough to train a dog...

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

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.

You're really justifying her shooting a dog? As if "pawning it off on someone else" is somehow a worse fate for the dog?!?!

Sick weirdo.

The Trump/Noem voter, everyone. A minority indeed.

Trump hates dogs so he won’t care. I think it’s awful but I would never vote for either of them anyway.

Really?? I'm horrified thinking about it. How does someone look into those sweet eyes and do that?! We have a beautiful black lab/ coonhound mix that was found wandering in a rural area of western NC. and given up, but I'm so thankful not shot! I just can't imagine.

Not disqualifying for most MAGAs.

This is not some inbred pit bull who eats children. She just didn’t like it and, I agree, she’s missing a few circuits.

Probably not great for inspiring VP to admit to this in an election year.

MAGA voters will love this. They feed to being cruel to defenseless people and animals.

I don't agree with this. Many MAGA people I know are huge dog lovers. Their relationship with their dog is their unspoken form of therapy (seriously). They are intensely attached to their dogs.

You don't shoot a puppy. You put it up for adoption. Only an abusive psychopath would shoot a puppy; the same person would happily shoot another person.

Most MAGAs I personally know would not relate to this.

This is some sort of ultra-MAGA Overton Window crap.

I agree. I work in animal welfare and it’s not a one-party field. This is both sides horrible. Why would she tell this story?! Does she not remember what happened with Mitt and his dog?

This. It's how they dealt with animals in the "good old days."

+1 Back when America was “great.” My MIL is from rural northeastern Nebraska, so close to South Dakota that they need to shop there. Her brother has a story like this that he told us - something like “I had a lab once, such a cute dog but he wouldn’t stop scaring the chickens, I cried when I had to shoot him.” It was horrible.

Look at that loser in Wyoming who abused and tortured a young wolf for fun while people around were cheering him on.

Most of DCUM will rush to vote for someone that is willing to kill dogs.
