She killed a puppy for acting like a puppy and scaring birds during a hunt. It was 14 months old and sounds like it had zero training. So she takes it to a gravel pit and shoots it. A puppy. For being excited by birds. And it wasn’t trained how to behave around birds.
And then she writes on Twitter that her autobiography has more stories that will upset the press. She is actually psychotic.
Animal cruelty. Why isn’t she charged?
Putting down a dog without a good reason isn’t animal cruelty most places if you put it down humanely.
This weird and gross and downright disturbing, but it isn’t animal cruelty unless she shot it in the stomach to watch it bleed out or something. Which honestly, she may have for all we know, she’s obviously unhinged or very, very dumb.
Killing an animal because you don’t want it is animal cruelty. Maybe not legally but the laws rarely follow public morality.
If animals are in excess there are shelters and they have better ways than a gunshot in a gravel pit.
I’d still call it cruelty, especially the fact that she claimed she led it to the gravel pit. She called the puppy over and shot it.
it’s still early…
Sounds like she did it a favour
🤮
In that she spared it from a life of under an abusive owner? I literally have no idea wtf you’re trying to say and I’m trying to give you the benefit of the doubt
You can do better. I believe in you. Figure it out.
Did I miss something? That was a shitty example to back up her angle that the dog was untrainable or whatever. The real “reason” was the puppy killed a bunch of the neighbor’s chickens. That is a fact, as in order of events. The motivation could be many other things, such as: not wanting the bad PR, trying to smooth things over with a neighbor, legitimate guilt/empathy/something for the neighbor losing their chickens as some families may be really attached to their chickens either emotionally and/or financially.etc wow I don’t mind saying something that is unpopular but I very much do mind people thinking I’m defending animal cruelty or that I find it anything less than awful and heartless. I was questioning specifically what the comment said about killing a puppy FOR being a puppy. When I said the motivation could have been anything else, I meant she could have killed the puppy for any of those awful reasons too but I did not understand how killing chickens = being a puppy, which someone did kindly answer for me. Clearly I expressed myself very poorly.
The puppy was being trained for hunting. Meaning she killed her for doing exactly what she was being trained to do. Of course she wouldn’t know there are some animals she shouldn’t chase.
Oh, and this is not a one-off thing from Noem either. She also mentions shooting and killing a male goat for “chasing her kids”.
In any case, I worry when someone’s solution to completely fixable issues with other living beings is to just kill them.
Usually bird dogs aren’t killing anything. They retrieve the fowl after its been shot and they are trained to be gentle with the bird in their mouth. But that doesn’t excuse the shit stains behavior.
Ok duh, thank you! I wasn’t sure what I missed that makes this a puppy being killed for being a puppy so thank you for actually pointing out what I was missing. I couldn’t really make the connection to how it was a puppy specific thing, not defending it.
The thing is she wasn’t sad to have to do it. She said she “hated” the puppy.
Yeah im really sorry, I was not in any way shape or form anywhere near that woman’s side but that was not clear. Thank you for being decent to me despite what your impression may have been.

Just to be clear…. On a bird hunting trip, the dog killed some birds… the wrong birds, but still birds. And that’s a reason to murder it?
Where I’m from, most farmers with chickens would have shot the dog first. If your animal kills someone else’s livelihood, they are going to react poorly.
While its fucked to kill your own dog, this is a common reason to put down animals.
Putting down animals for misbehaving is fundamentally fucked and anyone who does it shouldn’t be allowed around animals - or as they say where you’re from - “While its fucked to kill your own kind, this is a common reason to put down animals.”

which also doesn’t feel justified…
My old boss’s retriever dog killed a chicken once. He told her ‘no!’ very sternly, and taught her not to do that. She never killed a chicken again.
At least try training the animal first, for fuck’s sake
On the way home from the hunting trip, Noem writes that she stopped to talk to a family. Cricket got out of Noem’s truck and attacked and killed some of the family’s chickens, then bit the governor.
Also the purpose of a bird hunting dog is not to kill the birds but to help the hunter locate them, flush them out of their hideouts and retrieve them after they’ve been shot by the hunter.
If you think any of those things is a reason to lead a puppy to a gravel pit and shoot it, I sincerely hope you don’t ever have any dogs you are responsible for.

I mean, that’s exactly what jeffw said. The dog killed the wrong birds. And got shot for it.
There’s better ways to handle that than killing the animal in cold blood. Retrain it. Give it to someone else. Take it to the pound. You know, something other than calling it over to a gravel pit and shooting it in the fucking head.
When I was young I used to live in rural town and had a puppy that was tough to train. I found the puppy a new home with someone that had the time to train it. I didn’t shoot the dog and blame it on living in a rural county.
I assume you’re too good a person to be nominee for VP though
Well, they certainly can’t be a republican VP.
Dare I say it…What Would Jesus Do?? 😂
THIS!

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you: all the signs of a psychopath
That will be her unique selling point for republican voters
I find it scary, but you’re right. Acting decently with respect for those around you is no longer what it takes to win votes. Instead, you should kill puppies, not give a fuck about killing puppies, and deny that you ever did that, despite the actual proof that you did it. Then you’ll get all the votes. Because… amerikah
right fit for the job actually
She’s literally wearing the right hat.
Buy a bird dog.
WTF, this dog is OBSESSED with birds.
Let dog run loose.
Dog catches birds.
Bird dog is happy for catching birds.
UNACCEPTABLE!
Shoot dog.Nobody understands, this dog was a maniac around birds!
“I took my dog hunting and it killed a chicken instead of the bird I wanted it to kill, so I shot my dog” is one hell of a take, eh?
I agree with you on everything else. But bird dogs aren’t for killing birds. They locate and/or retrieve.
Hmm did I train the dog wrong?
No the dog is bad better murder it instead of rehoming it.
Totally unnecessary.
I get that social media seems to be a constant stream of outrage with nobody actually caring, but I think this story might actually derail her.
There are articles in Fox News, NY Post, and other conservative media outlets about this. They are fairly critical. The fox news one includes tweets from a “country boy” who is like “there’s a difference between taking an old animal out back and a fucking puppy”.
Best case scenario, she didn’t train the dog well… that’s not a great reason to murder it
People are crazy.
I saw the movie ‘Enter The Dragon’ in theaters dozens of times back when grind houses were a thing. Every time some thug got killed the crowd cheered. The minute the villain threatened to kill his own cat people were horrified.
Faked out again.
Humans are sapient, while some other animals can claim the same title as well most cant. Humans can be introspective but most animals fundamentally cannot, there are lots of good reason to kill a human animals should only be killed for food or necessity.
people don’t like thugs. thugs are dangerous and bad for society. so social creatures like humans naturally cheer them getting creamed. baby animals that are pets? hint: one thing isn’t a different thing. context. it’s what gives meaning.
i think so too. killing a puppy is pretty generally reviled here. and rightly so.
She also had to put down 3 horses a few weeks ago. Wonder what they did, eat too much hay? Whinney too much in excitement? Perhaps they were just untrainable as well… Things that don’t serve a purpose must die. Ah, that’s leadership.
She was training them to speak like Mr. Ed but they wouldn’t utter a word regardless of how much peanut butter she fed them therefore they had to go.
That wasn’t what she was using the peanut butter for…
She posted that she “…just had to put down 3 horses a few weeks ago”.
Again as a person who grew up in the country around livestock, WTF is she doing that she had to put down multiple horses? Maybe she should really reconsider any form of animal husbandry because they sure as fuck sound like completely incompetent ranchers.
Yeah horses don’t die that frequently and that close together. To shoot two in one week, too shoot them! Instead of vet euthanization. Wild.
You have to get the whole horse bloodline. If you leave any alive you’ll be spending the rest of your life in fear everytime you hear hoof steps behind you.
I recall a story where my grampa had to do that to a cow. But that was ages ago out in the country where there were no vets and no other better means or knowledge.
Maybe she just can’t stop at killing just a single horse.
Once you pop, you can’t stop.
Maybe she should be prosecuted for animal abuse.
At minimum she needs to be investigated.
Kristi Noem is a dog murdering psycho cunt. I wish her a lifetime of UTIs, hangnails, yeast infections, and congested sinuses.
Edit: added UTIs
I hope she catches her new fake teeth on a door frame.
Yes!
Can we add UTI’s?
Torsion is not just for testicles, and may have the added bonus of preventing reproduction.
Added.
Absofuckinglutely.
Bitch you could have re-homed the dog to someone who actually knows what the fuck they’re doing.
Kristi Noem is a certified piece of shit and shame on whichever Dakota voted her in.
Wow, fuck this person. What an unhinged thing to admit to in your own fucking book. Who thought that would be a good idea?
Someone who wanted to get her in the news.
Grab them by the puppy.
She does what needs to be done
She had to put down three horses in one week?
Unless there’s some sort of horse pandemic I’m unaware of, that sounds even worse.
She thinks that the public is mad that animals die on a farm. No, she is not grasping the fact that she killed animals unnecessarily and pointlessly.
Lack of empathy, the understanding of other’s perspectives, is the hallmark of a psychopath.
And maga
Same difference
bingo
Wait what?? Is this a book about her history of torturing and killing animals? Is she coming out as a serial killer?
The horses were put down because they were too horse like you idiot /s
The focusing on the puppy and not the “she liked it so much that she went and killed a goat slowly” is odd
Wait what?
She shot the dog, which obviously felt really good to her because she immediately found a goat to kill afterwards, only this one took multiple bullets.
Did the goat bite the governor?
No, they just didn’t bother to neuter it so it was ‘musky’ and needed to die
Where the fuck is John Wick when you need him …
Is there any meaningful difference between her, Lauren Boebert, and Sara Palin?
Michelle Bachman thanks you for forgetting her and her life partner Marcus…
I fully memory holed her.
How about Christine “I am not a witch” O’Donnell?
I had the displeasure of unholing her from my brain a couple of days ago. I don’t even remember what I was watching, I just glanced at her face and a frigid chill suddenly came over me. It was a displeasing feeling.
As anyone should
There’s crazy and then there’s “murder dogs” crazy
I wouldn’t suggest Boebert isn’t “murder puppies” crazy.
I respectfully disagree. I think she’s much more “sex in front of children” crazy than “murder puppies” crazy.
I’m not saying she is ‘murder puppies’ crazy… just that I wouldn’t be taking any bets against it.
either way, neither of them should be allowed anywhere civilized society, never mind governance.
Sure. One of them has boobs that point north.
Sara and Lauren are just idiots, not psychos.
Hunting wolves from a helicopter, and illegally giving underaged waitresses guns, don’t count them out.
O shit. I had no idea that was a thing.
A very disgusting thing to say.
It’s not the saying part that bothers me
Patton Oswalt told me “I think the worst part of the Cosby thing was the hypocrisy.” And I disagree. I thought it was the raping. - Norm MacDonald.
Thank you. So many people excuse rape, victim blame, and don’t see it as a “bad crime.”
