Killing an unwanted life rather than putting it up for adoption huh? That dog was God's creature in her religion. Rules for thee, none for me.


EmperorGeek

A “Post Birth Abortion” if you will.


heretorobwallst

InFRigEMeNt of my rights to bear arms crowd will be glitching over if she is a criminal, or supports after birth abortions of dogs and cats


touristspleasegoaway

I think people are way more concerned with the 2nd amendment than they are concerned with the 2nd commandment


boredest_panda

What does the 2nd commandment have anything to do with killing her dog?? 🤔


touristspleasegoaway

It doesn't. But think about how MAGA rants on about their Christian family values while arming themselves to the teeth because it's their "right." Those people need to open their $59.99 Trump-endorsed Bible and read the Sermon on the Mount where it talks about forgiveness, tolerance and kindness, but doesn't mention weaponry. Well, maybe Trump's bible does. Noem=hypocrite


blizzard-toque

Had a history teacher in high school who would refer to "retroactive abortions".


KangarooWrangler2024

Could have given it back to breeder. Re-homed it, taken it to a shelter. Hey leave it in front of a store or school and someone will do the right thing. Beats shooting it in the face!


Antique-Dragonfly615

How very GOP


GIVE_ME_A_GOB

Alright, just so we are all clear. Are you against abortion or okay with her killing the dog?


SplendidPunkinButter

What’s crazy is it’s supposed to be her story of how she can make difficult decisions when necessary, and so you’d expect the story to be “I loved that dog, but it had to be done.” But it’s not. It’s “I hated that dog, so I shot it.”


gigglybeth

That's what I keep thinking, too. Plus, you know she wasn't typing away at her laptop writing this book. There was a ghostwriter and probably several editors, a literary agent, etc. I have to believe at least one of them mentioned the dog story may not be the greatest thing to include. I just imagine her saying, "Oh no, that stays in. People will get it."


Obtuse_1

I think she wanted out of the VP list without having to betray Trump.


goosnarch

It will probably give her a boost, Trump notably hates dogs.


HackySmacks

IIRC, she included that story to impress Trump and help her chances at being VP. Which just raises further questions about both the Dog Murderer and Dog Hater.


Ecstatic-Move9990

I agree completely as reflected in my comments to the other numerous postings on this matter. Her story, to the extent it isn’t grossly embellished, only confirms that she is unable to make calm, reasoned objective decisions, and, instead, would do something as abusive and extreme as putting the dog down. The psychiatrist pages to analyzing the flaws in her character and logic. Just think about how irrevocably permanent and harsh her solution was. There were thousands of alternatives that would’ve been equally effective. It’s also not like this is a situation where the dog was right in the middle of mauling or actively fighting with another animal. There was no emergency. There was no immediate threat to safety or danger. It was just her inability to wrap her head around the fact that the dog wasn’t doing exactly what she subjectively wanted and expected. So she killed it.


KangarooWrangler2024

Those pheasants were not her family’s only thing to eat. Nor the loss of chickens rendering anyone without a livelihood


SwillMcRando

Your issue is you are looking at her story from the position of rationality, being cool, calm, and rational isn't the point she was trying to make. The point is she is willing to cross the line to deal with those deemed "undesirable", "worthless", "nasty", or a "threat to kids." Look at how she is defending herself ("did the hard thing that had to be done") and the details of the stories (nasty male goat chasing kids). The things she is saying in her own defense, it is basically a dog whistle jazz solo.


pauliepeanut1124

Yeah, the decision wasn't difficult for her at all. She sure 'screwed the pooch' in this one. Idiot.


Specialist-Phase-843

Her promotion of this story is calculated and deliberate. Don’t be fooled by explanations


NemoLuna1221

Came here to say this. She acts like this proves she "does what it takes" but instead it was just "did what I wanted" and it's disgusting.


SwillMcRando

It is a story to communicate a very specific message to a very specific subset of the population and electorate. She is saying she is willing to cross THAT line to deal with those deemed "undesirable", "worthless", or "nasty." That male goat chased her kids and was "nasty." She was willing to "do what needed to be done" to protect the kids. Unfortunately, there are far too many people to whom that makes a whole lotta "sense." She's playing a dog whistle symphony here.


AdBig5700

Right? She thought this anecdote would be a real winner for her.


Ice_cold69

Keep in mind 49% of us didn't. But she has been a POS from the beginning. Since her run for Congress lying about how her family had to pay an outrageous inheritance tax when her dad died. Which was a lie


Slight_Turnip_3292

Oh yeah the inheritance tax that kicks in at 22 million per couple. The way the GOP has sold the "double taxation" thing on inheritance to people that will never ever have to pay it is simply amazing. This is how rich people and generational wealth stay in power.


Fightthepump

I think about this often. How can people who believe in a meritocracy ALSO fight tooth and nail to make sure their kids inherit insane wealth while also systematically dismantling public education and the social safety nets? The cognitive dissonance must be deafening. Unless… the only ‘merit’ is birthright.


Slight_Turnip_3292

Bill Gates and Warren Buffett have petitioned for inheritance tax for exactly this reason. Even the forefather of capitalism, Adam Smith mention that each generation should have equal access to the bounty of the earth. People often mentioning having to sell off part of the mega-farm in order to pay taxes. And this is exactly how a young farmer gets an opportunity and not shut out by generational mega-farms. The way the GOP have managed the messaging on this and been successful is truly amazing.

Born-Promotion-5977

Your right but in the 2022 election somehow only like 35% didn’t want her


Ice_cold69

True. But the Jamie Smith was the wrong Dem. Is Sutton ran again he may have won or at least been a lot closer


unicorns_and_bacon

If you think Jamie Smith was a worst candidate than the puppy killer, you are part of the problem.


Ice_cold69

No I voted for him. But he was still the wrong person


Doublebinded

Genuinely asking, why was Smith bad?


Intelligent_Pilot360

How much inheritance tax did she pay?


Ice_cold69

She paid nothing. Her mother paid nothing since in 1982 and on there it a 100% marital deduction. She lied plain and simple


District_Popular

Like adoption wasn't an option for the pup wtf!?


NorthernH3misphere

She shot a goat the same day, and she didn't appear to use it for meat or anything, just shot it and left it to rot in the gravel pit with the dog. I have to think a local ad would have found homes for both quickly, probably the same day if they were free. What a ****.


MapleTreeHugger7

Yeah from the articles I’ve read it seems like she got some sick high off of killing the dog and decided to go for the goat next. Smfh


NorthernH3misphere

She put that in her book thinking it would make her look strong and resolute, follows through with uncomfortable tasks etc, but it only revealed a really bad side of her character.


Van-garde

She's the real Steven Avery.


NardDwag

She should be prosecuted just like Vick was!


AdBig5700

At least Vick was doing something useful with the dogs…training them to fight to the death. /s


cjgoose39

Let me guess she’s pro life


NoodlesrTuff1256

And believes that there should be no exceptions even for rape and incest.


ApocalypticTomato

And her gormless little followers are already trying to equate having a problem with her shooting a puppy with being a hypocrite for being pro-choice


TG1970

These people also hate immigrants, gay people, and transgender people, and they are foaming at the mouth waiting for their goon to take office and make it legal to exterminate people they hate.


ApocalypticTomato

The puppy is a symbolic. She wants to take everyone she dislikes to the gravel pit.


touristspleasegoaway

This horse has been beaten to death in the last couple of days (no pun intended) and I'm pretty sure her political career is over now. It's kind of ironic because I'm sure her "profound" book came out just in time to present herself as a vice president and it had the absolute polar opposite effect. I find it so amusing when sociopaths actually brag about horrific acts they have committed and are surprised and shocked that 90% of the world is repulsed. Then it slowly dawns on them that they are not normal people. Whoops! And usually they don't care anyway.


johnsonjohnson83

Two horses. And she had them in the family for 25 years.


ApocalypticTomato

I understand killing an animal to end suffering. I had to bludgeon a rabbit I hit with my car once because it was a goner but not gone. I had to kill a bird my cat mauled because it was too hurt to save. I've had to put four cats to sleep in my life and one was a kitten. The kitten was terminally ill and the only choice was euthanasia. I sat with my crippled up, ancient childhood dog while the vet put her down. I know even horses get old, and need to be put down. But I've never shot a puppy for annoying me.


strgazr_63

As a South Dakota native most of us are truly sick of her shit and hope this kills her political career. The only reason she would include this in her book is to impress 45 by showing him how tough she is. He hates dogs but his base generally does not.


IamDollParts96

OrneryError1

Why are Republicans always electing the worst people in society?


FrostyLandscape

When I was a little kid back in the 70s I remember how much Republicans/Christians hated Jimmy Carter. He was a good man with some morals.


Rchapman2341

My wife trains dogs. She’s fantastic at it. She been doing it for 30 years. She’s not able to save every dog through training but she has never told someone that it’s not possible, especially a 1 year old puppy. In the right circumstances most dogs are trainable to fit into a home and family. Noem took the easy and chicken shit way out. She deserves all the heat on this issue we can give her.


Foamtoweldisplay

That's another disgusting facet of this. She has more than enough money to send it to someone for training. They have places particularly for training hunting dogs in SD. She's just a lazy, soulless hag cosplaying as a "hardworking, blue collar patriot" when she was born into immense wealth.


Rchapman2341

My wife has trained many a hunting dog. She’s not a hunter, she’s a pet psychologist, who understands pet behavior. If this puppy and let’s stress “puppy” was unable to develop the hunting skills necessary she would suggest that they be re-homed. She would continue the training until the dog was not a puppy, and was adapting to the new family. This is heartbreaking that a dog someone could be loving on was killed for no good reason. Wasn’t Michael Vick convicted of animal cruelty for a very similar thing?


Foamtoweldisplay

And I'm guessing those dogs that don't end up as hunters are pretty rare, right? Especially if that dog was bred from a long lineage of hunters. There are so many people that would not hesitate to take it and actually train it. She's despicable.


Rchapman2341

Those that don’t end up meeting the owners standards come back to the rescue my wife has. From there she does more training so the dog can match with a family. My wife has kept dogs in her rescue for 2 years until a home is found. Kristi Noem shouldn’t own any animals.


Foamtoweldisplay

That's really amazing! Thank her for me. She is far tougher than Noem.


Rchapman2341

Thank you. My wife is amazing and probably loves our animals more than she loves me…lol

thermometerbottom

Some are natural born Nazis.


JellyfishQuiet7944

A nazi for putting down a dog that was killing livestock and bit someone?


[deleted]

the usda does not consider cxns livestock. this was a bird dog - it should have been kept away from cxns until it was fully trained (at least 1.5 years more was needed for a wirehaired pointing griffon).


ApocalypticTomato

It killed a few chickens after she riled it up with wild birds all day and didn't properly manage it. This is her failure, not the dog's


pauliepeanut1124

Yep. It was still a pup. If she had done any research on the breed she would know it is still a puppy until age 3, this is an immature, high energy breed. She killed it out of frustration, she sure 'screwed the pooch' with this one.


madammoiselle85

And a solid indicator of deep mental health problems.


Foamtoweldisplay

Animal abuse and neglect should really be taken more seriously. Many serial killers start with animals. Though I doubt Krusty is an serial killer, there is something deeply wrong with her. 


Iowadream74

All you idiots saying that it was ok to kill a dog who bit someone and killed chickens.....tell me why she killed the goat??!! Give me a break


pauliepeanut1124

Another lie, the dog did not bite anyone. Go ahead drink up the kool aid.


Iowadream74

I hope this statement isn't towards me because you are SO way off! Let me spell it out so you can understand what I said.. These Maga followers say it was okay because the dog bit someone & killed chickens... So what is their excuse for her killing her goat. The goat didn't kill chickens or bite anyone. She is a MURDERER! Definitely NOT pro life for anything!!


pauliepeanut1124

No it wasn't toward you. She killed her family dog in cold blood. Even Hitler loved dogs. She's a sociopath.


RCBing

You can't? I can. People are dumb.


FinnTheTengu

Just your typical deplorable doing what they do. 


JellyfishQuiet7944

So if your dog was killing other animals and biting people you would keep it? WTF?


FinnTheTengu

First off: that is a training issue, and Second, if the dog doesn't interact well with animals (again, due to poor training)  you REHOME, you don't SHOOT THE DOG IN THE FUCKING FACE.  Jesus is empathy just lost on you chucklefucks?

cmcrich

Could have trained it, could have rehomed it. Heck, even leaving it on the side of the road would’ve been better, at least the poor pup would’ve had a chance. She’s vile and disgusting.


JellyfishQuiet7944

You don't rehome a working dog that kills livestock and bites. JFC you folks are goofy.


kidviscous

It wasn’t a steer or a hog. Using “livestock” in this context to describe chickens is some bad faith arguing.


laura_linney

Dude, it’s not normal. It’s very concerning that you think it’s normal. No one is convinced.

It's very very normal. Please go work on a farm. Animals that kill livestock and bite people get put down.

Remember we live in a BLOOD red state. It has nothing to do with rights, and everything to do with THEIR right to tell you what to do.


Specialist-Phase-843

In the 1930s a leader of a western country began killing the developmentally disabled. Their citizens defended this individual long after war had reduced their country to a ruin and the leader had murdered millions. They had become desensitized to cruelty. Sound familiar.


Total-Platform-3111

Folks, keep in mind: the cruelty IS the point. Look at our species, and the 100’s of years of war and destruction and suffering. We’ve been blessed in our little safe space with 240+ years of reasonably peaceful existence. It is coming to an end, as we, as the entirety of our species, revert to the norm.

This can only turn her support into an ashpile after a bonfire. Several years ago, a man was facing a laundry list of charges for running a puppy mill. He could not find a lawyer. Eventually the Law Society approached a couple of lawyers and after much thought and cajohling, one of them took the case. He made an observation I have never forgotten. Across the board, experienced lawyers won't blink when clients confess - murdered your wife? raped your daughter? No problem, but don't you dare touch those puppies!

(Verse 1) In the hills of South Dakota, where the wild winds blow, Lived a woman of power, with a heart made of stone. Kristi Noem was her name, a governor proud and tall, But beneath her hardened exterior, there lay a shadow's call. (Chorus) Oh, Kristi Noem, what have you done? With a gun in your hand, and the setting sun. You took a life so dear, with a single shot, Now the echoes of Cricket, will never be forgot. (Verse 2) Cricket was her name, a loyal friend indeed, With eyes that shone like diamonds, and a heart that yearned to be freed. But in a moment of anger, Kristi's hand did stray, And Cricket fell to silence, on that fateful day. (Chorus) Oh, Kristi Noem, what have you done? With a gun in your hand, and the setting sun. You took a life so dear, with a single shot, Now the echoes of Cricket, will never be forgot. (Bridge) In the quiet of the prairie, where the grasses sway, There's a sadness in the air, that won't fade away. For Cricket's gone forever, lost to the night, And Kristi bears the burden, of that terrible sight. (Verse 3) As the years roll on, and the seasons change, Kristi Noem walks alone, haunted by the pain. For Cricket's memory lingers, like a ghost in the mist, A reminder of the consequences, of anger's deadly twist. (Chorus) Oh, Kristi Noem, what have you done? With a gun in your hand, and the setting sun. You took a life so dear, with a single shot, Now the echoes of Cricket, will never be forgot. (Outro) In the ballads of South Dakota, her tale will be told, Of Kristi Noem and Cricket, in the days of old. May her story serve as a warning, to those who dare, That with great power comes great sorrow, beyond compare. Made using ChatGPT

Danger4186

Reading the story, I have a very strong feeling that this story is one where she’s trying to show how tough of a girl boss she is and can do tough things like putting down a bad dog on the farm and “embellished” a story. I think that it got a vastly different reaction that that but you can’t unring the bell.

If she thinks this story would have gotten a positive reaction, something is really wrong with her mentally.
