Kristi Noem's recently released book describes how and why she killed a 14-month-old puppy because she couldn't train it.
She's probably the first choice for Trump as she lacks empathy, common sense, and compassion and seems to hold a hatred for animals, just like Donald does.

Yeah, but she’s no doubt a big hit with the camo boys who do their little dance on the Hogg.

Maybe she’ll post a pic of her gun and watch the camo boys breathe hard.

Her sins will be judged by God.
Her disclosure will be judged by the majority, who do possess a heart.
Unlike most members of her party.

Usually it's the cover-up that is worse than the puppy-killing. This time it's the dumb MAGA braggadocio that is career ending. Where do they find these people?

Nope, most righties are found under dumpsters.

If she can't train a puppy, she ain't qualified to run a country.

Not trying to justify her actions but when dogs start killing livestock or poultry that what they do. I saw a German Shepherd rip apart a lamb as a kid. Maybe city folk should just stay in the city. Sometimes reality bites.

Certainly wouldn’t compare my Gov (and I think yours) against her performance in S.D.

Well that explains a lot about the right wing. My family has a farm with dogs and livestock and we don't shoot our dogs.

Yeah, shooting your dog is a generally accepted method.

It is simply not something that normal people brag about and/or equate as "making tough choices". I used to work with an older gent that grew up in the late 1930's, in Paige, AZ. He was bitten by a dog one afternoon walking home from school. His father came home and was informed of what happened. He asked where the dog's owner lived and he then proceeded to get a .22 caliber rifle and he walked out the door. He returned a short time later and the incident was never discussed again. It was a matter of fact issue, that was corrected and never talked about again.

That is how hard choices are addressed. You do what is needed, and when they are done, that's it. Move on and do the next right thing. No need to immortalize the deed as heroic or righteous.

Shooting dogs is not something that pet owners would ever understand and to ask them to seek perspective, is asinine! They love and care dearly for their animals as much as if they were their children. A farm animal is cared for but not loved or coddled as pets. They serve a need.

Corporal punishment with a belt was wide spread years ago, but running your mouth about doing it today is probably not really a good idea nor is it socially or legally acceptable by many.
