A potential GOP vice presidential candidate, South Dakota's Noem is defending killing the dog after it attacked chickens, plus a goat.
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, a potential GOP vice presidential candidate, is defending her actions after an excerpt from her upcoming book reveals she executed a dog on her family farm.
Noem reportedly writes that her 14-month-old dog, Cricket, got loose and killed a neighbor’s chickens — after which Noem lured the wirehair pointer to a gravel pit and shot it.Noem reportedly describes the “dangerous” dog as a “picture of pure joy” as she gleefully “grabbed one chicken at a time, crunching it to death with one bite, then dropping it to attack another.”Noem reimbursed the chickens’ owners for their dead birds and helped clean up the mess.
While she was at it, Noem reportedly opted to kill a “disgusting, musky, rancid” goat her family owned as well. She dragged the animal into the same gravel pit and shot him too — but the “nasty and mean” goat survived its first gunshot. Noem went back to her truck, reloaded, and shot him again.The right-wing politician apparently tells that story in the book to illustrate that “difficult, messy and ugly” things sometimes have to be done in life and in politics, according to The Guardian.
Noem linked to The Guardian’s article on X, where she explained, “We love animals, but tough decisions like this happen all the time on a farm.” According to her tweet, Noem’s family recently added three horses that had been with her family for 25 years to the body count.If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
