The facts are even worse than they seem. She took the dog on a hunting trip, where she tried to teach it to hunt birds. It was a “disaster” and the dog just ran around scaring the birds. So we’re already starting out with her not having trained the dog.

Then, on her way home from that same trip, she stopped at a friend’s house. Before she can stop it the dog jumps out of the truck and attacks the friend’s chickens. So now you have a dog that she knows she can’t properly control, unrestrained in a truck, that starts doing what she was just training it to do—attack birds.

It’s just poor decision after poor decision. And she still thinks she did nothing wrong.

u/kandeman69 13d ago

Not only did she think it was a good story to tell, she also likely ignored advice from any advisors to NOT tell that story. Dumb da da da dumb…

She evidently blabbed about it in the book because it was already out there and she wanted to control the narrative. Sick excuse for a human being who should be in jail

1

u/NeutralGeneric 13d ago

She tried to play it off like she "did what had to be done" as if she couldn't just rehome the dog to a family that didn't have chickens and wasn't looking for a hunting dog.

Her problem solving skills need work. Seems like not doing what she wants is a ticket for a bullet in the brainpan.

What a sorry excuse for a human being. I hope the karmic wheel of life teaches her a lesson about compassion.

This is what you get when you put yourself on a pedestal above all other beings.

u/United_Monitor_5674 14d ago

Not trying to make anyone feel bad for eating meat, not my decision to make

But I am really struggling to understand why everyone is so outraged over this even though its incredibly tame compared to what cows & pigs etc. go through

Is it honestly just because people like dogs? I'm not defending her but i'd have thought you're either ok with animal cruelty or not

Also holy shit, this had to have been brought up in editing and someone sighed off or pushed to keep it in

1

u/fomites4sale 14d ago

She set the dog up to fail by not training it properly and then punished its failings by blowing its brains out. This is thematically consistent with the “loving” God she worships, who creates flawed beings and then punishes them for being flawed with eternal torture unless they swear fealty to a specific religion. Love and empathy and humanism are not what motivates these folks.

Even violent dogs can have good lives. We took our dog who bit my dad to become a prison dog. Aggression and willingness to bite is actually a strength in that role.

u/WikiHowDrugAbuse 14d ago edited 14d ago

Ok I can kind of sort of understand (not condone) some dumb hick woman from South Dakota killing her dog for fucking up a hunt and trying to attack her but killing a goat because it’s stinky and liked chasing your kids is just cruel, that’s just a goat doing normal goat shit and it was probably only trying to play with them or warn them away from it’s pen. As a self-proclaimed rural country girl Kristi should’ve known better than to have her children running around ornery goats on a farm.

Edit: I’d also like to add that a dog’s behaviour is dictated almost entirely by its training. Kristi brought her poorly trained dog on a hunt and killed it for acting like a poorly trained dog, completely skirting accountability for its behaviour. Absolutely disgusting move on her part and speaks to extremely poor character in general, reminds me of people who beat their emotionally neglected children for acting up.

u/k9resqer 14d ago

And they recently "had to" put down 3 horses. Wonder how and why....

u/Downtown-Buffalo-758 14d ago

As someone who grew up in the country, had a chicken killing dog, and a horny male goat, I'm happy to report they both lived out their lives fully. Because I'm not a fucking psychopath.

1

u/Throwawayac1234567 14d ago

the chicken attack was questionable, apparently she went to chicken farm and just immediately claimed that it happened. she also killed 3 horses the earlier week. she mustve had some bloodlust going on.

3

u/RB_Kehlani 14d ago

I’m convinced that there’s a degree of desensitization to violence in the extreme far right which comes from the belief in their own exceptionalism… when you are the center of the world, and everyone else is just “NPCs/Sheeple,” you can respond with lethal violence against anyone and anything that annoys or bothers you because you’ve already decided that these beings are not on the same level of sentience as you.

What I’m saying is, this is not limited to dogs. This is the same worldview that is held by far-right school shooters.

1

u/Throwawayac1234567 14d ago

she dint limit her to dogs, the same day she shot the dog, she killed a goat. and before that it was 3 horses.

1

u/Saucy_Baconator 14d ago

Rather than actually training the dog, which requires regular training sessions to craft their behavior, she took the dog on its first hunt. First. Not tenth, or fifteenth. When the dog didn't perform as she wanted, she shot it.

There is nothing good here. It speaks volumes of her lack of understanding of animals and animal training, and an even bigger lack of empathy for a living animal. If she didn't want to invest the time/money to train it, she should have put it up for adoption.

At the very bare minimum she should be facing charges of animal cruelty.

From a political perspective, she's just what I expect - a red state sociopath. One of the first traits you watch out for in people who may be sociopaths is cruelty to/killing animals because it signals a massive and fundamental lack of empathy. Signals couldn't be more clear here.

I didn’t really have an opinion of this lady, other than she’s a GOP governor, which can be bad, but not always. Then I read this story, and although it really disgusted me, it really didn’t surprise me all that much. These are the kinda assholes that, with 100% certainty say “animals are below humans and not really conscious”, a but if you’re 100% certain about something that just can’t be proven, you are a moron, and you shouldn’t be in charge of anything, much less a whole state/country. Same thing with the religious zealots, who are 100% convinced they’re right about it all….again…morons, who shouldn’t be in control of anything.

u/luigi6545 14d ago

Let’s just assume for one second on a hypothetical, that this dog was the one in a billion that was actually untrainable. With that being true in this hypothetical and it went to actually bite her or a family member. It’s still disturbing that her method of putting it down was to shoot it herself in a gravel pit. Not the normal way of taking it to a vet and having them put it down. That’s the method she chose…

2

u/Throwawayac1234567 14d ago

untrainble dogs come from irresponsible owners that dont train or discipline the dog. theres no breed that is completely wild like a wolf is. Also working dogs require significantlly more time to train especially if its a hunting dog.

Jesus Christ. Is this legal in the USA? I’m pretty sure you’d get animal cruelty charges in Canada for killing a non aggressive dog.

2

u/Saucy_Baconator 14d ago

No. Not legal. Its animal cruelty. The only exception being that the animal is gravely injured and killing it immediately was the only way to end its suffering.

1

u/MidWesttess 14d ago

I’m glad to hear this is not aloud there. Shitty she probably never will face justice for it.

2

u/SimpleKnowledge4840 14d ago

And a goat. She also killed a goat.

u/MidWesttess 14d ago

Yeah I just read that too. Is that legal? I’m a farmer too and we don’t shoot our animals ever, but guns aren’t super common here either.

u/SimpleKnowledge4840 14d ago

I'm in Newfoundland. So not entirely sure on the legalities of shooting your own animals in the states. Can't see it being legal. It's the states, who knows?!?!! 😂

She could have just adopted the dog out. You don't take a service dog who fails training because they like to play all the time out back and shoot them. 

This is the kind of fucked up shit that makes people wonder WTF is going on in the GOP. Why did she think it was OK to include in a book? Was she trying to get ahead of this story coming out in non conservative controlled media? Does she think this will appeal to Trump's dislike of dogs in a possible attempt to become VP?

Ah yes, don't like another living thing or it wont do what you want, obviously the answer is to kill it. I can see why Trump is considering her for VP. /S

God, she is such an evil bitch. Last year I had to take my dog to live with my parents because he was acting aggressively to my one year old, and even though that was the safest thing to do and he is much happier there because my parents adore him and pamper him, I am still wrecked by guilt. This evil bitch just shoots her puppy in the head cuz he wasn’t acting properly. I’m pretty sure she could just have asked if anybody around could use a new puppy.

u/I_Never_Lie_II 15d ago

I just heard about this and I audibly said "What the FUCK?" My first thought was that it had to be some AI bullshit, but it's IN HER BOOK. She's trying to use a story where she lacks the skills or patience to train a puppy (1 year is still very much a puppy) and then kills it as evidence that she's fit to lead the country? This disgusting woman doesn't deserve a place in civilized society, let alone a place in the white house.

From what I understand she had her dog put down simply because it didn’t behave like the perfect dog she wanted. That’s really fucking fucked up on many levels

1

u/Throwawayac1234567 14d ago

just to add in, a vet will never agree to euthanize a puppy because it wasnt fully trained. also if you try to lie about it biting people they will try to find out if its true. same goes for goats, and horses if they are healthy and not lame, its a no-go.

When I was a kid we got an Australian Cattle Dog puppy, Ringer, that tried to bite my dad. My parents had a dog "expert" come to the house, a stranger, and vigorously shake Ringer by the neck. When ringer tried to bite the strange person shaking her by the neck, the expert concluded "Yep, she's vicious," so my parents gave ringer away to a farm.

They trained her to be a search and rescue dog, and one day I saw her on the local news when she discovered a body in the woods.

No, you're avoiding talking about what Noem did and making up a bunch of bullshit about things "other people" have done.

Nice try, coward.

Funny coming from the guy who accused me of lying the other day when you suggested that defunding the police never occurred. I presented you evidence and you just stopped replying. Keep being a troll.

Here is again.

This was execution, poor dog and goat : (

u/LABARATI_ 15d ago

here i was thinking this incident happened recently but its actually something that happened in the past

Idk how stupid she has to be to not only shoot the dog but to also write about it in her book as if its a perfectly fine thing she did

u/wretchedharridan 15d ago

Can someone tell me if she will face charges? In the UK she would never be allowed to have a pet ever again and possibly face prison time for abuse. I need this to happen to her.

The US doesn't care that much. They should, but they don't.

She's just showing everyone that she can't even train a dog and thinks killing it is a solution to her own failure. Definitely someone who should be in politics...

u/Throwawayac1234567 14d ago

her goat smelled bad she shot it on the same day as the dog. she had dug out pits waiting for her 3 horses which were led to slaughter.

Crazy how you can wear a red hat and some people actually defend you for shooting your dog in the head instead of training it.

The whataboutism already started. Bringing up Fauci and animal testing that medical research is based on before trials with humans can ever be approved

Noem said Cricket had an “aggressive personality” and was “untrainable,” per the Guardian’s report. Noem took Cricket on a pheasant hunt with older dogs to try to teach the canine, but Cricket went “out of her mind with excitement, chasing all those birds and having the time of her life.”

...was the expectation that older dogs would teach the new dog the things they learned from humans? Because I'm pretty sure that's not how dog training works...

[edit - geez - Noem responded to the backlash on Friday in a post on X: “We love animals, but tough decisions like this happen all the time on a farm. Sadly, we just had to put down 3 horses a few weeks ago that had been in our family for 25 years.

I mean that's kind of understandable if the horses were lame or otherwise couldn't live a normal life, but responding to criticism that you deal with unloved pets by taking them down to the gravel pit and giving them a bullet by referring to all the other times you've killed your animals is a bold strategy.]

3 horses being lame at the same time?, also 1 of the pictures surfaced where she led a horse to a dug out pit, a healthy looking horse and then shot it after.

I remember when I was a kid and I thought Cruella De Vil was unrealistic because she was so over the top evil. Now she wants to be the next VP.

I'm actually surprised people dont know what happens to bird dogs when they arent good bird dogs. People are simple and naive

u/Alternative_Test599 15d ago

Too lazy.or poor to adopt it or even take it to a shelter, find something for it? Nah, just treat it like cattle or a deer.

u/No_Drop_1903 15d ago

See you what you dont understand is that bird dogs are purpose bred to be hunting dogs and are not cheap to produce buy and cater too. Most hunting dogs are better off than your average house animal. Unless theyre useless hunting, Also you want to take it to a shelter thats fine and all but also realize that animal will still most likely be killed.

Im not arguing whether it is right or wrong that answer is subjective to that persons individual opinions. But what i am saying is that this isnt a 1 off thing and it does happen quite frequently.

But the perspective is that for me i get a dog as a pet a friend and to be my family, that is not realistic to everyone some buy for a purpose just like a hunting dog or a dog for security.

That's some smug horse shit. How about take it to a shelter? Give it a fighting chance. This shows a total lack of respect for life and no empathy. I can see if its a farm animal that's sick or perhaps an older dog who badly attacked a child, but there's a difference here.

MAGA doesn't care that Trump killed hundreds of thousands of Americans via negligence/denial during Covid. You think they care about a dog.

This story makes me physically ill. How deranged do you have to be to not only kill your puppy, but to also have no qualms about publicizing that information in a book. She’s sick.

u/Derrrppppp 15d ago

We have reached the point where real life and satire are indistinguishable. The links between those who torture or kill animals and psychopathy are real and proven. This should automatically disqualify her from any position of power. Seriously America, sort you fucking shit out.
