So I wanted to do everyone here a service and provide the direct quote from the book as to why she shot the dog. As part of training the dog for pheasant hunting. "..out of her mind with excitement, chasing all those birds and having the time of her life”. She destroyed the dog because it ruined her hunting. Not because it was biting people.
No, my uncle owns a horse ranch. He trains puppies into working dogs. According to him. She did not tether the dog. That is how it got out. If she was planning a long visit. That would be inhumane. It was her fault no matter what. The fact that she said, I hate the dog. Answers everything to me.
Okay, why is this news? It's news because she is fodder. All of the facts a convoluted and people are forming their opinion. I want to know why my president doesn't have a good foreign policy, domestic policy, deficit is soaring, crime and inflation are up and economy is bad.

@@jarrodl719Very few women get an abortion because they want to. Also, when a woman or her baby is dealing with a traumatic health issue, it is additional trauma to have to explain it and ask lawmakers permission to do what needs to be done. It is VERY traumatic to deliver a baby you love and want that has health issues. Especially if you live in a poor household without the resources to handle said issues. Even if its just emotional resources. Being a parent is hard. Being a poor parent is harder. Lawmakers have no place in a woman and drs decision to abort. If a woman is not equipped to carry a pregnancy she shouldn't be forced to. Pregnancy AND abortion is miserable. Why don't the men have to explain THEIR part in these womens "choices" and their contributions to abortion????
Right , like she is out to impress someone . Most any dog, no matter how damaged can be rehabilitated with the right coaching & love. Especially a puppy !

From the National German Wirehaired Pointers Rescue: It has come to the attention of the Board of Directors of National GWP Rescue that in her soon-to-be released book “No Going Back” Governor Kristi Noem ND (R) relates an incident in which her 14-month-old GWP puppy did not perform in the field as expected - Noem’s solution to dealing with the troublesome puppy named Cricket was not to spend more time and effort to train the dog but rather to destroy the puppy by shooting her. NGWPR strongly condemns such action by anyone and especially by a public figure such as Governor Noem. The decision to kill a trusting young dog in such a manner shows lack of judgement, ignorance and cruelty. Sporting breeds are bred with bird/hunting instincts but it takes training and effort to have a working field dog. We call on Governor Noem to take accountability for this horrific decision and to dedicate time and to use her position to educate the public that there are humane solutions to managing a difficult young canine - training, breeder involvement, mentors and rescues are all available.

The very fact that she thinks it is a normal behavior to advertise to others just reinforces that she is clearly a sociopath. Ditto for anyone who defends this!
Pretty sure it was aggressive to humans, that was the point. And unless you're a vegan who's never eaten meat, you kinda can't care about the doggy's feelings without being a hypocrite
Yeah, except for the "training" part. She is so important that the dog should have been born trained. She embarrassed herself, blamed it on the dog, and shot it.
Why aren`t people talking about the fact that she took that dog in a rage, down into a working gravel pit so that NOBODY could hear the shots. That dog embarrassed her in front of her hunting partners and then killed her neighbors chickens after jumping out the back of her truck (her fault). And I don`t believe that dog tried to attack her. She was in a rage. After her first kill, I believe she lost it. After she shot Cricket, she got the taste of blood and thought about "that smelly Goat" she "hated". Those are her words. Anyway, she never brought a shovel. She thought the workers would just find the bodies and bury them in the pit where they dig gravel. Fortunately, there were still workers there, working late and saw it ALL!
Noem wants you to admire her "true grit". If an animal is a problem, she's all, "Where's my gun?" Ok, so what does that imply for humans who become a problem?
Has Noem not heard of no-kill shelters? To execute the 14-month-old dog for being a *normal* dog instead of giving Cricket to someone who could have trained and loved that puppy is just psychopathic in my (conservative) book. Retire now, Noem.
If a farmer needs to put down an old horse, cow, or dog, they would call the vet tech to stop by to give the animal 2 injections. No farmer shoots the animal! That’s crazy!

@@wesholland8358 In my time I've had more than a few animals that needed to be put down, and I've never had a veterinarian tell me to do it myself. At the very least that part of your story is bologna.
@@wesholland8358 I have, had a particular horse a long time, long enough to know she was coming up on the end.

You realize you're calling your own Uncle lazy right? You sound more like the people you're maligning than the folks where I'm from. Here calling someone lazy is the worst possible insult.
Just look at Noem’s eyes. That woman is clearly disturbed. What she did was horrible and not even Trump’s lawyer could defend her from such a horrific act of cruelty. I’m glad she put that in her book though, good that she was honest about her very, very poor judgement and lack of values. We don’t need more crazies in the government.
Although I am a die-hard conservative, I found Christie Noem's actions to be both mind-boggling and disturbing. While I believe she is a good governor and I support her, I cannot condone her actions. As an animal lover, I believe there could have been steps taken to control the unruly behavior of animals. There are many animal psychologists available who could have helped. Though I do not judge the governor of South Dakota, I do believe that her decision was not the right thing to do, and it saddens me.
Its NOT really a side of farm life any more! Most farmers don't shoot their animals when the time comes .. they use a vet!! Its the sort of thing that was done in the 1800's!!
She says she hates the dog because it was untrainable and bad at hunting birds. Then she describes the dog as a "trained assassin" after it kills a chicken.
She took the puppy pheasant hunting - she took her to a field/forest to chase large birds and to attack them. Then the puppy gets in trouble and executed because it chased and killed a neighbor's chicken. Noem taught the dog the very behavior that she was upset about! A 14 month old puppy can't tell the difference! And the goat she killed just because she thought it was 'ugly, smelly and chased her children'. Hello....it's a goat! It's what they do! For someone who was raised on a ranch/farm - she has an incredible intolerance of animals. Real ranchers and farmers care and respect for their animals and would never let them suffer or die needlessly. In my opinion, how someone treats an animal is a good judge of their character. Someone who doesn't like animals at all probably doesn't tolerate humanity at all either. So far - that anayasis has never steered me wrong.
For me it’s not just the puppy. She is banned from reservations. For tying to connect the Ghost Dance. A Lakota Sioux traditional dance. To cartels in Mexico. If she were vice president. What would she do to the Indigenous population?
The dog actually attacked chickens and dutifully brought a chicken to his mama, because he is a bird hunting dog, and that’s what he was bred & raised to be. She was already mad at him because she took him to a hunting meet and he acted like a puppy and caused a big ruckus amongst the other dogs and hunters. The dog embarrassed her, oh dear Lord, you can’t be embarrassed by your dog, hell no. So you killed the dog because the dog embarrasses you.
I can vouch that it is not a "reality of rural life" that we shoot our young working animals (dogs, horses) because they simply aren't yet trained yet to do the job. And if for some reason that animal proves to not be a good fit for the job, then you absolutely will try other options for that animal not including shooting them. It sounds like she was in a hate-filled fit of rage at the time and couldn't control herself. What about that makes her "vice president" material?
Indeed. We've had everything from hamsters to horses. Sometimes training doesn't take and we've had to rehome them, or accept them as is. Never took one to a gravel pit.
She just pretty much killed her political career. There’s one thing to do what she did, but then put it in her book. That’s a little disturbing. Let’s face it she might be a little unhinged. I don’t think her political career is going anywhere else. I think she is done.
Well I don't know I mean trump is a rapist and here we are... Hasn't hurt him in the polls yet sluglicans have no moral compass anymore and will vote in anyone that will "own the libs"...
I think the key piece is that the construction workers saw it, so she was trying to get in front of it politically, so it wouldn't come back and haunt her during the presidential campaign (I felt like Trump was going to pick her for sure). Do not get me wrong, I'm not justifying what she did, she executed a dog that displeased her, I'm just trying to make sense of putting it in a book.
So essentially she treated the dog as a tool, not as a companion or even living being, and once she determine that cricket (14 month old puppy at the time) didn't deliver to her expectations, she decided that cricket didn't deserve to live. The irony is that this is the same person who screams "pro-life".
I love dogs, but no one talks about the poor billy goat. They smell and can be aggressive, especially if not castrated. Why were her kids allowed in the pen with it and why were her complaints about the kids's clothes? She totally lost all credibility as a competent rancher.
"If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men." - Saint Francis of Assisi
This is of course being blown way out of proportion for political reasons but.. I cannot understand why a politician would put that story in her book and not think it would catch criticism. She's obviously not that bright...
All the comments about differences between city versus rural people are just a pile of horse manure. Everywhere, there are people with common sense and a moral compass, and people without either. Kristi falls in the latter group.
She is a sociopath, that should not be in charge of anything! Sadly many sociopaths are succesfull, because they don´t care about anyone, they are not able to.
The weirdest part is, Kristi Nome stopped at a friend's house with a dog that was being trained to kill birds and DIDN'T expect Cricket to kill birds. 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
Noem is 100% responsible for that dog's behavior. Dogs don't develop their behavior in a vacuum (unless they're feral). Humans train dogs. Noem failed completely in her job, either to train it herself or hire a trainer, which she could easily afford.
“No Going Back “ is actually a GREAT title for her tome!! No “going back “ to a period of civility for Republicans,obviously,with tRump being the Republican nominee for President.
"Humanely". No. Humanely killing an animal is helping an animal that is sick or hurt and is suffering and will never have a good quality of life to pass on. Humanely killing an animal is NOT murdering a 14 month old puppy who is healthy, happy, and perfectly capable of living a long and healthy and happy life with the right family.
The one thing that no one seems to be bringing up is: If this is the type of life story she includes in a book be she is proud of, what has she done that isn't in her book that she is ashamed of???? Wonder what she did to her kids when they didn't behave. Are all her children accounted for? Should someone take a harder look in South Dakota gravel pits?
My dad once found a dog in a dumpster behind the place he worked at the time. He brought the dog home and we were his family for the rest of his life. We put him to sleep in 2011. And I was at work. So I was not able to be there with him to properly say goodbye. I have had 3 pets put to sleep since then 2 dogs and 1 cat. This story about Noem really gets to me. I forever hate this woman.
My ex once asked me to put the old family dog n the bed of the truck. I gladly obliged thinking she was gonna take her for a ride. Daisy loved to ride n trucks so she was ecstatic when I played n the truck. Later n the day I learnt my ex had taken her to a vet and had her euthanized. Altho poor blind very old Daisy better days were far behind her, I still remembered how happy she was when I put n the truck. It still breaks my heart. 💔
I’m Haitian and remember my Jamaican neighbors killing a goat 🐐 in their backyard. Black Americans went crazy over that. I’ve seen chickens killed and ate them the next day. But shooting a dog 🐕 in the face is not the same
Noem’s a sociopath! A fourteen month old puppy can’t be trained for the hunt. It’s still too young. If she didn’t like the puppy, there are other people who would have trained it or even cared for it as a companion.
Agreed. There was absolutely no necessity to what she did. It just proves she's cold-hearted and cruel. She seemed that way to me, before hearing about this. And this just confirms it.

Couldn’t she had rehomed the puppy? Could she had hired a dog trainer? Could she taken the puppy to the Vet and had him put down with medication. No, she took the puppy to a pit and shot him then killed a goat. She sounds like a sociopath.
Did she think that people would not be upset? Did she think this would be seen as an example of her South Dakota toughness? The simple decision to tell this story, along with the way she told it, shows that her perceptions are badly skewed.
As a life long advocate for animal rights, I don't give a fluck what you have to say about why you willingly killed your healthy young pet. You are a bad person to me and I will never see it any other way. Case closed.

@@K-Locke Goat didn't die from the first shot. She was too stupid to even have a second round in the weapon, and instead had to walk back to the truck get another round, walk back to the writhing goat and shoot it a second time. Jesus, even on a domestic animal, she's a shit shot with a gun!
We had a dog that was about the same age as cricket. Out of control and unruly we brought to a no kill rescue. Donated a bunch of food to the shelter and they found it a good home. It was easy and I felt better for giving the dog another chance
One year I was helping my elderly parents milk their goats and manage Wilhelm, the Billy goat. Ran away a lot, hauled him home with a one-inch rope and a truck. And boy did he stink. We never got many young goats either. One day, the goat was gone and having been around my dad growing up, I knew what happened to Wilhelm.
There is always a POINT to telling any story as part of your book. One has to wonder what the point is of telling the story of how she thought it was a sensible decision to shoot a 14 month old puppy, not having made any effort to train the dog. SHE put the dog in a hunting environment, failed to control or direct the dog's actions over and again, then shot the dog. That's a peculiar logic train she followed to end with "shoot the dog" as the conclusion. A hunting dog trainer might've been consulted before killing the dog. She simply enjoyed shooting domesticated animals for fun. The dog, the goat and the 2 horses. TELLING people about it IS odd. Some won't care in which case, why tell them. The other reaction is freaking out. So in conclusion, I see NO actual up side to telling this story.
Let's please take the left vs right silliness out of this particular issue & focus on what she did & how she describes the MULTIPLE animal killings she committed
Who is this fool? “ Humanly killing an animal? Have you ever heard for animal cruelty? People are arrested all the time for it. If you have to put down an animal and want to do it humanly you call a vet. They will do it if it is warranted. If not then you surrender the animal to a shelter.
Sorry, I am a Jamaican living on the island and this story is offensive to me. .. so don't get it wrong. Even we here would find killing a pup offensive
The law isn’t insane but this dog owner didn’t secure the dog in the pick up and allowed the dog to escape and kill chickens. Reality in rural America is, if you have an animal you don’t like, you re-home the dog.

I would imagine that she realizes any excuse for the boomer-cons to bloviate will usually end well. This is the exception
Exactly the "god" of money
@@b.cdrisk2035nailed it
I can vouch that it is not a "reality of rural life" that we shoot our young working animals (dogs, horses) because they simply aren't yet trained yet to do the job. And if for some reason that animal proves to not be a good fit for the job, then you absolutely will try other options for that animal not including shooting them. It sounds like she was in a hate-filled fit of rage at the time and couldn't control herself. What about that makes her "vice president" material?
Indeed. We've had everything from hamsters to horses. Sometimes training doesn't take and we've had to rehome them, or accept them as is.
Never took one to a gravel pit.
She just pretty much killed her political career. There’s one thing to do what she did, but then put it in her book. That’s a little disturbing. Let’s face it she might be a little unhinged. I don’t think her political career is going anywhere else. I think she is done.
Did you even read the full quote?
Are you retarded or just another leftist lunatic?
Well I don't know I mean trump is a rapist and here we are...
Hasn't hurt him in the polls yet sluglicans have no moral compass anymore and will vote in anyone that will "own the libs"...
I think the key piece is that the construction workers saw it, so she was trying to get in front of it politically, so it wouldn't come back and haunt her during the presidential campaign (I felt like Trump was going to pick her for sure). Do not get me wrong, I'm not justifying what she did, she executed a dog that displeased her, I'm just trying to make sense of putting it in a book.
@@JFS-v1r did you even read the full quote?
So essentially she treated the dog as a tool, not as a companion or even living being, and once she determine that cricket (14 month old puppy at the time) didn't deliver to her expectations, she decided that cricket didn't deserve to live. The irony is that this is the same person who screams "pro-life".

the real puppy-gate involves Anthony Fauci
I love dogs, but no one talks about the poor billy goat. They smell and can be aggressive, especially if not castrated. Why were her kids allowed in the pen with it and why were her complaints about the kids's clothes? She totally lost all credibility as a competent rancher.
"If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men." - Saint Francis of Assisi
This is of course being blown way out of proportion for political reasons but.. I cannot understand why a politician would put that story in her book and not think it would catch criticism. She's obviously not that bright...
All the comments about differences between city versus rural people are just a pile of horse manure.
Everywhere, there are people with common sense and a moral compass, and people without either.
Kristi falls in the latter group.
She disclosed it because she absolute psychopath and sociopath. Like her not getting at all why people are upset is pure sociopath
She is a sociopath, that should not be in charge of anything! Sadly many sociopaths are succesfull, because they don´t care about anyone, they are not able to.
So, killing babies is ok?
Obviously, you’ve never had a farm where a dog kills animals such as sheep, goats, etc.
And it’s wonderful that someone like you can call someone as sociopath who you don’t even know who they are at all. Maybe you need to look at yourself
the real puppy-gate involves Anthony Fauci
The weirdest part is, Kristi Nome stopped at a friend's house with a dog that was being trained to kill birds and DIDN'T expect Cricket to kill birds. 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
😆
I’m assuming you are talking about pheasant hunting. The dog does not kill the bird he smells them out and points. They also retrieve they do not kill
Noem is 100% responsible for that dog's behavior. Dogs don't develop their behavior in a vacuum (unless they're feral). Humans train dogs. Noem failed completely in her job, either to train it herself or hire a trainer, which she could easily afford.
That's not always true. Unless you don't believe dogs have varying DNA
You can't be a farmer and say your goat stinks so I killed it. Take from a family of farmers.
Well i hate to think what happens if her kids misbehave. "All right, to the gravel pit."
Man such a dumb comment
“No Going Back “ is actually a GREAT title for her tome!! No “going back “ to a period of civility for Republicans,obviously,with tRump being the Republican nominee for President.
"Humanely". No. Humanely killing an animal is helping an animal that is sick or hurt and is suffering and will never have a good quality of life to pass on. Humanely killing an animal is NOT murdering a 14 month old puppy who is healthy, happy, and perfectly capable of living a long and healthy and happy life with the right family.
Only a psychopath would shoot a healthy dog,, and then brag about it in a book... sick people
Only a lunatic would keep a violent dog alive.
@@Noconstitutionfordemocrats Only a moron would train a puppy to kill birds, then get upset when it kills birds.
Not a psychopath. A person with a really dumb editor or was it an editorial intention???
Puppy. Healthy puppy. To clarify.
@@khayon4364 violent dog to be more specific.
They should ask if she would put down Donald if he broke the law, seeing as she puts compliance with it so highly.
Just a another reason to hate Michael Knowles. These people are evil.
The one thing that no one seems to be bringing up is: If this is the type of life story she includes in a book be she is proud of, what has she done that isn't in her book that she is ashamed of????
Wonder what she did to her kids when they didn't behave. Are all her children accounted for? Should someone take a harder look in South Dakota gravel pits?
she has a gun violence problem...address that
Never heard of this woman until now. This is narcissistic, psychopathic to the extreme. Cricket did not deserve to be shot to death. Sick.
Noem was cruel. It wasnt humane.
My dad once found a dog in a dumpster behind the place he worked at the time. He brought the dog home and we were his family for the rest of his life. We put him to sleep in 2011. And I was at work. So I was not able to be there with him to properly say goodbye. I have had 3 pets put to sleep since then 2 dogs and 1 cat. This story about Noem really gets to me. I forever hate this woman.
The dog my dad found in the dumpster was thrown away like a piece of garbage.
My ex once asked me to put the old family dog n the bed of the truck. I gladly obliged thinking she was gonna take her for a ride. Daisy loved to ride n trucks so she was ecstatic when I played n the truck. Later n the day I learnt my ex had taken her to a vet and had her euthanized. Altho poor blind very old Daisy better days were far behind her, I still remembered how happy she was when I put n the truck. It still breaks my heart. 💔
@@mikem9584 Just broke mine too. :( Awful.
She’s A total embarrassment for South Dakotans and former South Dakotans.
I’m Haitian and remember my Jamaican neighbors killing a goat 🐐 in their backyard. Black Americans went crazy over that. I’ve seen chickens killed and ate them the next day. But shooting a dog 🐕 in the face is not the same
Imagine her poor kids!! “Don’t get mom angry, she just shot the puppy and is mad you spilled juice this morning.”
Noem’s a sociopath! A fourteen month old puppy can’t be trained for the hunt. It’s still too young. If she didn’t like the puppy, there are other people who would have trained it or even cared for it as a companion.
Noem also has boasted about arming her three years old daughter with rifles.
What are you talking about can’t be trained at 14 months😂 your high

I am a black woman and I love dogs. This should totally disqualify Noem.
Agreed. There was absolutely no necessity to what she did. It just proves she's cold-hearted and cruel. She seemed that way to me, before hearing about this. And this just confirms it.
Weird to say your race before a comment.
So many people completely disconnected with what real farm life is like.

Biden would be an easier sell...just watch him for 3 minutes
Couldn’t she had rehomed the puppy? Could she had hired a dog trainer? Could she taken the puppy to the Vet and had him put down with medication. No, she took the puppy to a pit and shot him then killed a goat. She sounds like a sociopath.
Did she think that people would not be upset? Did she think this would be seen as an example of her South Dakota toughness? The simple decision to tell this story, along with the way she told it, shows that her perceptions are badly skewed.
Why would anyone seeking high political office choose to go public with such a story? Tone deaf and bizarre.
It was intended as a show of strength I imagine.
Being braggadocios to gain the "a person I can have a beer with" votes.
If Kristen Noem can justify putting down the dog and the goat like that, imagine how she would justify putting down marginalized people.
Just keep hauling junk. Pretty sure you've peaked.
@@niltomega2978 at least I can sustain myself without a boss tell me what to do.
As a life long advocate for animal rights, I don't give a fluck what you have to say about why you willingly killed your healthy young pet. You are a bad person to me and I will never see it any other way. Case closed.
You are commenting on Ana's video, Ana being someone who has discussed her carnivore diet many times over the years. She's even explicitly said that she loves weiner schnitzel, which is veal. Ana, of course, doesn't have to get her hands dirty, she just orders that shit and it comes to her on a pretty plate. Apply your judgement equally or recognize your bias.
How do you feel about the plan to unalive hundreds of thousands of cows in Ireland? Just unalive. Not use for anything. Riiiiight, the hypocrisy comes out.
Say that pet kills someone’s child, you truly think that pet deserves to live?
Animal rights advocate indeed! Yes animals are more important than people when it comes to food consumption. However, Uncle Bosey apparently was on the menu according to Joe Biden. These folks were equal opportunity consumers when it came to flesh human or otherwise.
@@Anonymous-jb4mu What are you the supreme court? Apply all the hypotheticals you want, there is no justification to putting down a fourteen month old puppy when you're in politics, Idc how bacakwardsass fly over state you are.
Noem is disgusting. This story is so disturbing.
she is bad news the fact that she is trying to normalize that proves how out of touch she is
I'll bet she's staunchly "pro life."
Ana, I dont normally agree with you but you are spot on with this commentary.
Humanely? Shooting in the face is humane? Don't believe that's the way the dog would see it!!!!
Almost always instant unconsciousness. How is that not humane? Do you understand what the word means? Gassing animals puts them in an enclosure covered with the scent of terror and fear.
@@K-Locke Goat didn't die from the first shot. She was too stupid to even have a second round in the weapon, and instead had to walk back to the truck get another round, walk back to the writhing goat and shoot it a second time.
Jesus, even on a domestic animal, she's a shit shot with a gun!
We had a dog that was about the same age as cricket. Out of control and unruly we brought to a no kill rescue. Donated a bunch of food to the shelter and they found it a good home. It was easy and I felt better for giving the dog another chance
Good 0n U. Dogs do have to get a few chances they hv that in their nature like I'm sorry I.ate the couch cushions
🙏 please don't kill me
Cricket 🐕
I’m a bit shocked anyone read her book.
Many people have been comparing Republicans to Nazis but now it seems that might be an understatement. Even Hitler loved dogs.
But Sleepy Donnie doesn’t like dogs
Noem is so cruel and repulsive behavior… is mind blowing
Get a grip, areola
What is wrong with this man?
Defending the killing of a dog and goat, for no reason
Mental problem
One year I was helping my elderly parents milk their goats and manage Wilhelm, the Billy goat. Ran away a lot, hauled him home with a one-inch rope and a truck. And boy did he stink. We never got many young goats either. One day, the goat was gone and having been around my dad growing up, I knew what happened to Wilhelm.
He's simply stating that many other locations around the world wouldn't care.
I mean, china... don't look what they do to dogs.
She thinks this reflects well on her character and reputation UNBELIEVABLE NARCISSISM
I'm sure she thought she could "out masculine" other political opponents by intentionally revealing "what a badadz" she thinks she is.
“Now let’s see…should I try to appeal to dog lovers or dog killers? That’s a tough call but I think I know what my people want “.
There is always a POINT to telling any story as part of your book. One has to wonder what the point is of telling the story of how she thought it was a sensible decision to shoot a 14 month old puppy, not having made any effort to train the dog. SHE put the dog in a hunting environment, failed to control or direct the dog's actions over and again, then shot the dog. That's a peculiar logic train she followed to end with "shoot the dog" as the conclusion. A hunting dog trainer might've been consulted before killing the dog. She simply enjoyed shooting domesticated animals for fun. The dog, the goat and the 2 horses. TELLING people about it IS odd. Some won't care in which case, why tell them. The other reaction is freaking out. So in conclusion, I see NO actual up side to telling this story.
IT DONT MATTER right or wrong - if she does that to a "useless" dog, what she gonna to me the useless disabled combat veteran?
Exactly. The "trickle down" mafia installed this sociopath puppy killer for a reason
Even Noem's defenses are void of any empathy.
Let's please take the left vs right silliness out of this particular issue & focus on what she did & how she describes the MULTIPLE animal killings she committed
HEY, NOAM! CRICKET IS NOT THE SAME AS CUJO ! She could have given the dog to a shelter....
No one could be more right wing than me but as an animal rescue volunteer for most of my life Noem truly disgusted me.
Get over yourself Bruno. She has more balls than you ever will 😂😂
I lost all respect for Kristi Noem, killing a puppy, how disgusting!!!
Who is this fool? “ Humanly killing an animal? Have you ever heard for animal cruelty? People are arrested all the time for it.
If you have to put down an animal and want to do it humanly you call a vet. They will do it if it is warranted. If not then you surrender the animal to a shelter.
You think animal shelters are all humane when putting down animals ? Try working for one, you may change your statement.
Sorry, I am a Jamaican living on the island and this story is offensive to me. .. so don't get it wrong. Even we here would find killing a pup offensive
Justice for Cricket! ✊
Why would anyone admit to that though? Like in a public book. Seems like something I would be very very ashamed of.
Let’s get a word from Fauci on how he feels about this
Psst... your cub for Fauci is showing. It's tiny, but it's showing.

@@enochianwolflol, it's so odd the people right wingers choose to vilify, while they defend themselves shooting puppies..great job

Makes you wonder if her children while growing up, thought that this might happen to THEM if they were "Bad" children.
Off to the gravel pit.
Holy shit, dumbest comment yet⬆️ and there’s a ton
The law isn’t insane but this dog owner didn’t secure the dog in the pick up and allowed the dog to escape and kill chickens. Reality in rural America is, if you have an animal you don’t like, you re-home the dog.
Someone asked, "Hey Kristi. What are you up to?" She answered, "Nothing. Just shooting the breeze...shooting the dog, the goat, some horses..."
