In her tell-all book, Noem proves she can get the “job” done, no matter the animal

    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 do

    Wtf… I think she’s had a history already…

      Who’s fault is it that goat hasn’t been cleaned or given a proper fenced in area?

        To be fair male goats piss on themselves when they go in rut and are mean as hell sometimes. Not defending her actions because if you do like one google search you can learn that yourself and not shoot the fucking thing.

    Imagining the mindset that leads her to not only shoot her dog but to then brag about it in print.

    “I guess if I were a better politician I wouldn’t tell the story here,” Noem wrote.

    he-admit-it She seems to actively think this makes her look good. Do even the frothingest chuds support dog killing?

      Noem reported that the puppy was disobedient and out “having the time of her life” during a pheasant hunting trip and that the animal later attacked and killed a neighbor’s chickens.

      The ill-fated Cricket proved not to be a bad hunter, after all, but was guilty of killing the wrong kind of bird. According to Noem, since a shock collar didn’t instill the desired discipline, the only reasonable thing to do was to kill the excitable and “untrainable” pup.

      Noem, who became governor in 2019, likened murdering her canine to having the ability and willingness in politics to do anything “difficult, messy, and ugly.” It’s not the only animal she chose to sacrifice that day, she wrote: "​​I realized another unpleasant job needed to be done.”

      This just about adults in the room getting the job done maybe-later-honey smuglord

      Through it all, Noem says, Cricket was “the picture of pure joy”.

      “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”.
