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. View Quote 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. View Quote “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. View Quote “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”. View Quote 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. |

I think that’s a little harsh.
I bought a bird dog from a breeder I knew and hunted with. Great dogs. Had high hopes. He trained well with scent, but shooting over him was very different. He’d pee himself. Don’t know why. But he was gun shy. I didn’t put him down, he was a family pet. But not all animals are pets. If your cow doesn’t do what you bought it for? It’s an expense that needs to be ended. Same with goats. Sheep. Pigs. Chickens. And working dogs. Where she is, who’s adopting an untrainable dog? Would you? You could take it to the pound/shelter I guess. But it probably ends up euthanized. What’s gained? I’ve put down a dog. But being more pet owner than working animal owner, it was very hard. I’ll never do it again, but I’m not in her shoes. I cut her some slack, and give her credit for being able to do the needful. |

I'd say the odds are MORE likely the dog will turn to bite you. Instinct is a bitch sometimes. Knowing the breed, my best guess is that she wasn't the dog's "person". The dog probably didn't even like her that much. Hard to get a dog with "aloof" as a breed trait to mind if it doesn't like you. My dad had a female coonhound that refused to hunt when I went. She wouldn't leave the truck, and if she did she would slick tree. If I went home, she would hunt like normal. He could only take the dog out solo or she would just be a giant bitch. |

Dog needed killing
Had a friend in the 80’s buy a coon dog for 800 dollars . It would not hunt or could not hunt. One day it was gone. He killed it 800 dollars was a lot of money in 1981. You could buy a nice Rolex GMT master for less than 800. Ronnie could not stand or feed a useless dog. |

irrespective of how one interprets her conduct, it was foolish to write about it without any indication that killing her dog was distasteful or regrettable, particularly because she is running for office. Why would she add that her childs first words were "where is cricket?" The only explanation that makes sense is that she knew this incident was out there and she wanted to get ahead of the story. She certainly could have done a better job of clean up..... another republican self destruct.

People are being hypocritical because her story as it's written describes lazy dog handling, and blames the dog for it's faults rather than the trainer. Appearing to be proud of the act just makes it worse for her. I can only think of a few very specific circumstances where you would shoot a dog, and an immature bird dog killing chickens in not one of those instances, not even close. A dog that can't be trained is entirely different, but at 14 months with an unknown history of training, we can only really assume she was just mad and took it out on the dog that day. Not great optics for someone running for office. |

Perhaps you can educate this white-collar no-nothing girly-handed city-slicker on how blasting your failed hunting dog is part of the unique challenge of agribusiness. *curios how so many "rural conservative pro capitalist real-America(tm) red states" sure LOVE them some farm subsidies... Yeah it’s definitely a weird flex. I’ve probably killed more animals than half the people this thread. That said I have a deep respect for the animals that I hunt and feed my family with. Sometimes that includes the unfortunate unpleasantries of putting down a mortally wounded deer as it stares me in the eye, knowing it’s fate. Doing that isn’t fun, and it’s not something I openly discuss in mixed company. I certainly don’t brag about in public articles to tout my toughness, especially if I was running for office. Nobody is "flexing" anything. It's just facts. It’s a total flex and prideful ignorance. Killing livestock and even dogs may indeed be an unpleasant part of farm life and selective breeding, but whether you like it or not to 85% of the country dogs are considered a beloved part of the family, not something to be discarded when they become inconvenient due to their owners incompetence. This is the redneck equivalent of a black politician admitting they shot up the house of someone that disrespected them, then when invariably 85% of people think he’s a psychopath, claiming that the people flipping out about it just don’t understand hood life. ETA it’s not the “facts” that are wrong, it’s the head in the sand egocentrism and ignorance of how the rest of the world will view it. No, it isn't. You're making up some fantasy of a world to argue about. In fact your whole post is a bunch of pulled out of your ass numbers and made up straw men to argue with. |

View Quote The only fantasy world in this thread is the one where folks think bragging about killing your daughters bird dog for… chasing birds is A) normal and B) not political suicide. You can boast all you want about “Muh country livin” facts or not. But all you are really accomplishing is fulfilling negative stereotypes about rural white folks to middle of the road voters, losing them and the elections and SCOTUS justices that go with them. |

I’ve been a hard core Republican since I was 13, but the willful and spiteful ignorance coming from our “leadership” is extremely demoralizing.
Nobody could be that stupid by accident. It’s as if they don’t want to win. Maybe they were paid to quit and lay down; destroy us from within. It’s the only thing that makes sense. |

I've had GWP's my whole life, and my father had them for 50 years of his; they aren't untrainable. Some just require different methods and patience. If the dog had made it to 14 months as was as uncontrollable as claimed, there is only the owner to blame. View Quote And a compassionate person would try to find a new home for the dog instead of blow it's brains out in a fit of hormonal rage. Even if it's not a true story but one she made up, it's a sign of a psychopath and shows she would gladly kill Americans that annoyed her. |
