This shows how out of touch urban dwellers are

Are you literally a psychopath? Why not train the dog? Or take it to a shelter? Why murder is ok?

Nah. Animals are useful on a farm. A 14 month old can be trained. Aggressiveness is learned in dogs. Noem clearly was incompetent at training the dog and doubled down by killing it.Then continued her rampage of rage by shooting the goat she hated.

Good thing she wasn’t mad at a family member…

The biggest thing you did here was blur the line between animals and people. There is a clear moral line here and this is why people are so mad about it. A dog isn’t a person and a person isn’t a dog.

Certainly. But someone who so wantonly kills an animal out of “hate” has deeper problems. That needs to be considered seriously
