Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Stlrain0341: Regarding the dog, I’m still not sure how failing to properly train your dog and then shooting it should be seen as a virtue. Sure, kill the dog but you still fucked up in the training part. Regarding the decision to then kill the goat, that’s just fucking weird and shows some judgement lapses. Regarding failing to kill the goat the first time kinda reinforces the apparent lack of competence indicated by the failure to train the dog in the first place. And then the biggest red flag… writing about it and thinking this will make her appear tough. I’m sure it could all be misconstrued, but seriously, if you’re going to make the general point about growing up on a farm maybe just talk about how you had to put down dogs that got too old. All this. She also comes across as impulsive and vindictive. Maybe if she hadn't mentioned how much she hated both animals........the optics are bad any way you look at it. |

I raised, shot and field dressed my share of beef cows growing up - they had their purpose. I've dragged dead cows and stillborn calves to the back pasture. These days I would have considered rescue for a dog that does not perform its work function. As as said in my first post - I've adopted 7 Great Pyrenees rescue dogs all who had physical or behavior issues that we worked through. I am just not as badass as Kristi or more likely smart enough to not to say something like that. |

Maybe that story did the trick when she was running for mayor of FarmVille, but it’s going to be her downfall when she tries to compete on the national stage. There was no gain from telling that story. Actually a politicians ( all of them ) job is to pass good legislation for all occupants of their state or district. Saying cute things is pandering and has jack shit to do with a persons job performance. What she or any other politician says means little , its what they do that matters. |

Some dogs are just fucked up beyond training. I’ve seen very expensive Malinois dispatched in a similar manner because they were uncontrollable.
However, now that dog worship is a full fledged religion, I expect Noem to be burned at the stake for this. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By _Redacted_: There are so many details that are left out and allow for this kind of arm chair quarterback assessment. When the dogs are done in the field we take their shock collars off and they go in their crates in the back of the truck/suv. I could just as easily assume based on other posters, that this dog got out somehow (previous posters dog gift that was great except it was always looking for a chance to bolt) and made a beeline for the chickens. Maybe someone left the tailgate open and the dog got out. If the dog was as uncontrollable as we are led to believe, then my "assumption" is that she wasn't just letting it out to roam around these people's property. But hey your guess is as good as anyones You put dogs in crates? I'm calling peta. Cruel and unusual torture of the poor dogs. Oh wait, peta kills something like 99% of all animals they take in according to a kennel club site. It's a fucking uncontrolled dog, put it down. And yes that's normally a SSS situation. Unless someone (chicken owners?) started talking to dems or the press. And they way half the people on here worry abortion is a losing stance, then put that same cavalier attitude to the dog. |

Guess we grew up on different farms, shipmate. We valued our farm dogs. Everybody values a good farm dog. The second he decides to chase cattle or chickens though, that's it. You're mistaking the kind of "farmer" she was. Her father's farm was 9700 acres, that ending up being one of the more popular hunting lodges in the Watertown area at one point. Mid-90's price for pheasant season was $250/gun/per day before the lodge, and almost $500/gun/per day after. I suspect the dog was probably between $500-$2k, depending on bloodlines. Her dad had expensive horses and expensive dogs, and I doubt she had anything less after she got married. This was not likely a general farm dog, but a bird-dog. You don't shoot a bird-dog for killing chickens, unless you're an idiot that throws money away. You keep the dog away from the things you've trained it to retrieve, unless you want them retrieved. Writing about this was the epitome of stupidity. |

However, now that dog worship is a full fledged religion, I expect Noem to be burned at the stake for this. It's a Pointer, not a Malinois. My family grew up with German Shorthair Pointers. My dad had 2-3 growing up on a farm. Here was still a puppy and just needed training. In all of my years on this earth, I've never heard of a "fucked up beyond training" Shorthair or Wirehair pointer. They require discipline, firm authority, and room to get their energy out. This has nothing to do with "now that dog worship is a full fledged religion," it's about someone not training their dog properly and then bragging about killing it. |

Originally Posted By SavedByTheBlood: Republicans just love to shoot themselves in the foot! Seriously why write about that? Trump VP contender Kristi Noem writes of killing dog – and goat – in new book “Cricket was a wirehair pointer, about 14 months old,” the South Dakota governor writes in a new book, adding that the dog, a female, had an “aggressive personality” and needed to be trained to be used for hunting pheasant. What unfolds over the next few pages shows how that effort went very wrong indeed – and, remarkably, how Cricket was not the only domestic animal Noem chose to kill one day in hunting season. She includes her story about the ill-fated Cricket, she says, to illustrate her willingness, in politics as well as in South Dakota life, to do anything “difficult, messy and ugly” if it simply needs to be done. By taking Cricket on a pheasant hunt with older dogs, Noem says, she hoped to calm the young dog down and begin to teach her how to behave. Unfortunately, Cricket ruined the hunt, going “out of her mind with excitement, chasing all those birds and having the time of her life”. Noem describes calling Cricket, then using an electronic collar to attempt to bring her under control. Nothing worked. “I hated that dog,” Noem writes, adding that Cricket had proved herself “untrainable”, “dangerous to anyone she came in contact with” and “less than worthless … as a hunting dog”. “At that moment,” Noem says, “I realised I had to put her down.” Noem, who also represented her state in Congress for eight years, got her gun, then led Cricket to a gravel pit. “It was not a pleasant job,” she writes, “but it had to be done. And after it was over, I realised another unpleasant job needed to be done.” Incredibly, Noem’s tale of slaughter is not finished. Her family, she writes, also owned a male goat that was “nasty and mean”, because it had not been castrated. Furthermore, the goat smelled “disgusting, musky, rancid” and “loved to chase” Noem’s children, knocking them down and ruining their clothes. Noem decided to kill the unnamed goat the same way she had just killed Cricket the dog. But though she “dragged him to a gravel pit”, the goat jumped as she shot and therefore survived the wound. Noem says she went back to her truck, retrieved another shell, then “hurried back to the gravel pit and put him down”. This is why women don’t belong in politics and leadership positions imho. Sounds like she got all emotionally overwhelmed and went on a killing spree. Holy shit. That’s reprehensible. Fuck that cunt. |

Certainly someone could post a response… “Post a picture with your kids that doesn’t involve them getting cut up and vacuumed out of the womb and ending up in a petri dish at a cosmetic company. I’ll go next.” PS: The communist death tolls have been criticized by various historians and scholars. Any attempt to estimate a total number of killings under communist regimes depends greatly on definitions, ranging from a low of 10–20 million to as high as 110 million. Some historians estimate that 14 million people were imprisoned in the Gulag labor camps from 1929 to 1953 (the estimates for the period from 1918 to 1929 are more difficult to calculate). Other calculations, by historian Orlando Figes, refer to 25 million prisoners of the Gulag in 1928–1953. These are the same motherfuckers that want you dead or in a gulag until you’re dead…and you care what they comment about a dog? |
