    Sorry, Kristi it looks like you have to go back to being the rodeo queen at the livestock fair in Presho after your term is up.

      I think you may have misspelled “clown”.

        I’ve known rodeo clowns. I respect them too much to associate them with her. They’re some tough boys who would never kill a dog.

    There’s plenty of people who would have taken the pup. I know a guy who would take washed up problem dogs and turn them into world champion retriever dogs. It takes knowledge and work though.

      I had a rescue dog that reportedly killed chickens when she was a puppy. She was the sweetest smartest dog i ever had, but very timid. For years if we raised our arms above our waist she would cower, if we raised our voice, she would cower. It was a challenge to discipline her because of her obvious past trauma so we trained her to go into timeout, if she misbehaved we would get out an egg timer and she would have to sit under the dining room table until it went off. This really worked as a deterrent.

      When she was older she had some health issues and we did some x-rays for unrelated reasons. We discovered that when she was young (before we got her) someone had broken both her front legs. The vet said the nature of the breaks suggested they were deliberate. It was the first time in my life I felt actual rage.

    There’s no such thing as bad dogs, just irresponsible owners. If she had an ounce of self awareness, she would have pointed the gun the other way.

    “There is no redeeming takeaway from a story about the ending of these animals’ lives, including a juvenile dog who was the family pet. These details from Governor Kristi Noem’s upcoming book demonstrate a disconnect with the 86 million American homes that have at least one beloved pet and value our relationship with them. There are so many effective and humane ways to deal with canine behavioral issues that don’t resort to such means.

      Grandpa wouldn’t kill a puppy for acting like a puppy. They would have properly trained their dog, or gotten a different type of dog, or adopted it off.

    Shit. It may have been but you don’t talk about it. Much less brag about it. That’s a weird story to tell to get people to like you.

      I don’t feel what she did was inherently wrong but yeah you don’t brag about that. Like why does anyone but her and close family know about that…

        It’s her story. So who knows if it’s true? I’ve had to put animals down. Most of us have. It’s not something you turn into a story to tell people. It’s a painful experience for most people.

        The way she’s telling it. It makes me think less of her.

        I mean in her own words she bought puppy was too lazy to train it so she killed it. That’s her idealized view of the scenario. That’s the story she’s bragging about. I feel like that’s inherently wrong.

        In a better world, what she did would be a crime. Shit, it might be one in this world. Just not one that will be prosecuted.

          So I’m not gonna lie I only skimmed the article when I posted that comment but I read the dog was attacking people. That’s not behavior to take lightly.

    This is some Fox News shit, she had a bad dog that bit people and shot it, big deal. That’s how life is in the country. This seems like sensationalistic garbage to get clicks. M

    Talk about the actual issues. Talk about how these fascists are trying to take over the fucking country. Talk about how they are trying to enslave women’s bodies. Or roll back rights for sexual minorities. Etc etc etc.

      She’s a psychopath who murdered a dog. It’s not like we’re whining that the green m&m is no longer sexy enough.

      Basic humanity IS a big deal. Violence towards animals is a predictor for violent behaviour towards humans. It’s completely relevant for judging the character of a potential VP
