    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.

    When I was barely a teenager our neighbor’s dog came into our property and killed/ate all of our chickens.

    We later learned that they ended up shooting the dog. The “common sense” regarding this was that once dogs get a taste for chicken they will never stop coming back to get more.

    I don’t know if that’s true and in our situation it wasn’t a puppy but this isn’t the first time I’ve heard of a dog being killed for eating chickens.

      I don’t know if that’s true

      I’m like 90% sure it’s not, it’s just one of those things that people do as a kind of “common sense” solution, because dogs are generally seen as a pretty disposable object. Like how they used to kill, and maybe still do kill idk, any animal that kills or attacks a person, just kind of on the basis that “that there animal is a man killer. ain’t no goin’ back from that, it’s got a taste for it now.”. Just dumb shit.

      Couldn’t they just have, I don’t know, kept the dog on a fucking leash like the rest of civilized society?

      They killed the dog because they were pissed about the chickens and the dogs life is worth less than the time spent to train it properly.

      They probably just got a new dog and rolled the dice that this one wouldn’t like chicken as much.

      Not responsible pet owners.

      What sets this ladies story apart is that she killed the dog and then looked around for what else she could kill. Because she liked the feeling it gave her.

    Remember when Mit Romney drove around for vacation with the dog on the car’s roof storage bin?

    By comparison Mit wins this round…I mean time count vs bullet count.

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

    Edit: added UTIs

    This has nothing to do with animals, and the incidents probably never even happened.

    She is advocating for the return of concentration camps and gas chambers.

    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.

    “It’s coming right at us!”

    I mean, how can you expect to be the orange man’s VP if you can’t kill a defenseless puppy? /s

    Fuck you, psychopath. My animals love me because I love them and would never let anyone hurt them. Wtf

      Somehow I don’t think reading a Mother Jones article counts as giving her any clicks

          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.
