    She killed a puppy for acting like a puppy and scaring birds during a hunt. It was 14 months old and sounds like it had zero training. So she takes it to a gravel pit and shoots it. A puppy. For being excited by birds. And it wasn’t trained how to behave around birds.

    And then she writes on Twitter that her autobiography has more stories that will upset the press. She is actually psychotic.

      Did I miss something? That was a shitty example to back up her angle that the dog was untrainable or whatever. The real “reason” was the puppy killed a bunch of the neighbor’s chickens. That is a fact, as in order of events. The motivation could be many other things, such as: not wanting the bad PR, trying to smooth things over with a neighbor, legitimate guilt/empathy/something for the neighbor losing their chickens as some families may be really attached to their chickens either emotionally and/or financially.

      etc wow I don’t mind saying something that is unpopular but I very much do mind people thinking I’m defending animal cruelty or that I find it anything less than awful and heartless. I was questioning specifically what the comment said about killing a puppy FOR being a puppy. When I said the motivation could have been anything else, I meant she could have killed the puppy for any of those awful reasons too but I did not understand how killing chickens = being a puppy, which someone did kindly answer for me. Clearly I expressed myself very poorly.

    Buy a bird dog.
    WTF, this dog is OBSESSED with birds.
    Let dog run loose.
    Dog catches birds.
    Bird dog is happy for catching birds.
    UNACCEPTABLE!
    Shoot dog.

    Nobody understands, this dog was a maniac around birds!

      “I took my dog hunting and it killed a chicken instead of the bird I wanted it to kill, so I shot my dog” is one hell of a take, eh?

    When I was young I used to live in rural town and had a puppy that was tough to train. I found the puppy a new home with someone that had the time to train it. I didn’t shoot the dog and blame it on living in a rural county.

    I get that social media seems to be a constant stream of outrage with nobody actually caring, but I think this story might actually derail her.

    There are articles in Fox News, NY Post, and other conservative media outlets about this. They are fairly critical. The fox news one includes tweets from a “country boy” who is like “there’s a difference between taking an old animal out back and a fucking puppy”.

      Best case scenario, she didn’t train the dog well… that’s not a great reason to murder it

      People are crazy.

      I saw the movie ‘Enter The Dragon’ in theaters dozens of times back when grind houses were a thing. Every time some thug got killed the crowd cheered. The minute the villain threatened to kill his own cat people were horrified.

        people don’t like thugs. thugs are dangerous and bad for society. so social creatures like humans naturally cheer them getting creamed. baby animals that are pets? hint: one thing isn’t a different thing. context. it’s what gives meaning.

    She posted that she “…just had to put down 3 horses a few weeks ago”.

    Again as a person who grew up in the country around livestock, WTF is she doing that she had to put down multiple horses? Maybe she should really reconsider any form of animal husbandry because they sure as fuck sound like completely incompetent ranchers.

    Kristi Noem is a dog murdering psycho cunt. I wish her a lifetime of UTIs, hangnails, yeast infections, and congested sinuses.

    Edit: added UTIs

    She also had to put down 3 horses a few weeks ago. Wonder what they did, eat too much hay? Whinney too much in excitement? Perhaps they were just untrainable as well… Things that don’t serve a purpose must die. Ah, that’s leadership.

    Bitch you could have re-homed the dog to someone who actually knows what the fuck they’re doing.

    Kristi Noem is a certified piece of shit and shame on whichever Dakota voted her in.

        We are talking about her, aren’t we? The media is continuously giving these performative rightwingers free advertising.

          I wouldn’t call educating people about how terrible she is “free advertising”. If you ignore this shit, they’ll keep electing her

              No.

              Reporting “Trump wants to deport millions of people” is considered a bad story by many but actually viewed as a good thing by plenty of Americans, which is why the “negative” press coverage was to Trump’s benefit as free media for his message.

              You won’t find anyone viewing Noem euthanizing puppies and goats as a positive.

    You know generally I’m against the death penalty and I’m all up and down threads like these advocating for that not to be the case, because, you know, people get raised in certain environments, we can’t really know whether or not someone’s really committed a crime sometimes, blanket death penalty is bad, yadda yadda ya. You know, consistency in principles.

    but fuck me man this lady needs to be crushed by a big rock or something
