Who’s fault is it that goat hasn’t been cleaned or given a proper fenced in area?

P.S. My family was uncouth to me one time after dinner, so I got out the Mossberg and took them behind the garage

Uhhh, because animals aren't people, so killing them isn't such a big deal, sweaty?

Noem reported that the puppy was disobedient and out “having the time of her life” during a pheasant hunting trip and that the animal later attacked and killed a neighbor's chickens.

The ill-fated Cricket proved not to be a bad hunter, after all, but was guilty of killing the wrong kind of bird. According to Noem, since a shock collar didn't instill the desired discipline, the only reasonable thing to do was to kill the excitable and “untrainable” pup.

Noem, who became governor in 2019, likened murdering her canine to having the ability and willingness in politics to do anything “difficult, messy, and ugly.” It’s not the only animal she chose to sacrifice that day, she wrote: "​​I realized another unpleasant job needed to be done.”

This just about adults in the room getting the job done

Through it all, Noem says, Cricket was “the picture of pure joy”.

“I hated that dog,” Noem writes, adding that Cricket had proved herself “untrainable”, “dangerous to anyone she came in contact with” and “less than worthless … as a hunting dog”.

i guarantee there is a large portion of South Dakotan mayos that are beaming with pride after having heard soundbytes about this, because you know they don't read.

I grew up there. What most people see as signs of psychopathy they see as grit and independence.

four native american reservations have banished her, banning her from like 15% of south dakota's land area

Typical American extravagance to have two of them.

Man I remember when outing yourself as someone who kills puppies was seen as bad, now it's a career builder. Times are a changing (for the worse!)

No, when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.

Fun fact, she is banned from every reservation and therefore is legally prohibited from setting foot on 15% of the state she governs.

She does, in the article she described how her kid came off the school bus and asked where the dog was

It's because killing an animal companion for being disobedient and then telling your children what happened and why you did it, is textbook serial killer behavior.

It's not the same as say running a homestead and telling the children why some of the livestock are gone now.

Only speaking for myself as I can't get into others heads, the red flag is her power trip. The dog only existed to serve her despite her daughter's attachment to it and would have lived to old age if only it obeyed.
That's the terrifying part.

People who killed the family pet for failing to be obedient tend to eventually work up to humans.

People who work the buzzsaw at a chicken plant, as gross as it is, don't.

Did she eat the dog? Or did she just kill out of pure malice when it didnt conform to her desires? There is a difference between killing a dog that provides companionship and the evils of mass farming.
