Rest assured that she is teaching her children to not care about animals. She created a program for children to shoot and trap foxes, raccoons, coyotes and opossums. The tails are mailed in for a bounty. She has already encouraged the killing of 15,000 animals this way. Trapping an animal is one of the most inhumane ways of killing as trappers often do not check their traps for days leaving the animal to suffer. She encourages children to trap animals. She proudly posted a picture of her own daughter with a dead raccoon. Sick sick sick!!!!! |
Possums are actually beneficial. They're not beautiful animals, but that's no reason to destroy them.
They kill snakes including poisonous snakes, as the venom does not affect possums. I believe they're carrying out research on this. Additionally, possums eat ticks. Considering the serious diseases ticks carry, anything that helps is great. She's a moron. |
Upon reflection, honestly the most damning part of her story is that after she offed her dog she THEN decided to do the goat too
Reminds me of Dexter |
I think even Trump can see that there's something seriously wrong with her thought processes and lack of empathy. |
I’m glad I don’t live in any of those godforsaken states. |
Fwiw, I can think of ways to frame this that could bring the reader along and help them understand if not accept this. The writer didn't - the writer didn't like her and it comes across. |
Nah, the underlying fact set isn't there. It doesn't matter who wrote it. She hasn't been able to retcon it on twitter. |
He won’t. |
(Possums actually do not eat ticks. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34298355/#:~:text=Research%20on%20captive%20Virginia%20opossums,Virginia%20opossums%20from%20central%20Illinois. Still no a reason to murder them willy nilly.) |
Nope. Men, women, all ages, all groups, all political parties...most people are disgusted. You don't put a healthy dog in a gravel pit and shoot it. |
+1 A healthy, young, expensive dog that didn’t do anything wrong. Except perhaps expose the owner’s failings as an owner and a person. |
Didn't like her or just had minimal material to work here? |
Apparently Nebraska does have a program for nest predators--pheasant hunting prime states are the Dakotas, Montana, Nebraska Iowa. Iowa rejected a bounty and the other states do not have them.
Only SD has a governor shrieking about this being a great activity for kids. Surprising she doesn't want to go for raptors as well, but federal law protects those. |
Yeah, I think she would grab the spotlight too much. |
Not in any way defending Noem, but sneering at colleges and universities in rural states as degree mills is not a good look for pp. Although leaving college after 4 years is hardly leaving early unless she was a part time student. |
