and that the animal [dog] later attacked and killed a neighbor’s chickens.
Killing the neighbour’s pets is a little bit more than misbehaving. That’s the sort of thing dogs get put down for.
Going on to kill the goat the same day shows that she’s evil, possibly even psychopathic. And then she admits that she’s not that good of a politician, as well as a bad shot.
Then, on the way home after the hunt, as Noem stopped to talk to a local family, Cricket escaped Noem’s truck and attacked the family’s chickens
She had been using the dog to hunt pheasants earlier that day. You really can’t be pissed at a 14-month old dog (still a puppy at that age) for not knowing the difference between pheasants and chickens.
All this does is demonstrate that she’s a terrible pet owner and a shitty person.
You don’t automatically Old Yeller your dog for killing a neighbor’s livestock; you either change how you are raising the dog (e.g. no more unsupervised outside time) or you acknowledge that the dog is a poor fit for your lifestyle and surrender it to a shelter.
I lost two chickens to one of my dogs. Now she can be around them without any problems for two years now. Know what I did? I trained my fucking dog. She’ll steal an egg though!
The full story is worse. It took her multiple shots to get it done. She should not have a shotgun. She should maybe have a .22 rifle and use it for learning to target shoot.
People who are actually responsible gun owners probably hate her the most. I own no guns because I respect them and live in a city. But I was taught how to use them. My relatives have hunting camps and “harvest” deer and they all know guns are not a joke. You learn to aim before you shoot. We had piles of sand behind targets and started with BB guns. You don’t miss a whole goat.
