That is very sad and screwed up from my point of view but I was not raised on a farm where killing animals is an everyday occurrence. I would never kill a dog unless it was trying to kill me or my kids, or one of my other dogs, but country people are different.
My dad grew up on a farm and his mom would grab a chicken for dinner, ring its neck in front of the kids and have them puck the feathers off its dead body.
Apparently they had cats they would call barn cats that would eat the mice and keep the rodent population under control. They didnt’ feed the barn cats or treat them as pets. The barn cats would mate and my grandfather would take the litter of kittens, put them in a sack with a brick and throw them in the river. Can’t have too many cats running around. When I heard that story, I was pissed at grandpa and basically didn’t want to see him anymore when I was a kid. I learned as I got older that farm people are just a little different about pets and animals than I am.
Good job skipping the rest of what she said about the dog.
She did say it was “dangerous to anyone she came in contact with,” but there was no example (in that article) of the dog ever having a negative interaction with a person. Despite an example of it being dangerous to chickens. Granted the article makes no pretense of being fair to Noem.
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.
If you want more real, honest, and politically INcorrect stories that’ll have the media gasping, preorder…
Using putting your family horses down to drum up clicks to your book…which has a story about shooting your dog in a gravel pit…
I get it - a useful tactic to generate social media likes and clicks, provoking the DSW’s of the world to go into a frenzy of propagating your posts so then your fans can be titillated by the “gasping” and get some more books sales in the process.
And maybe both the dog and the horses were completely normal farm life events in reality. But this is not a thing good people do, using your putting down of beloved family horses to drum up some book sales.

When ever I read a quote like DSW posted I start hunting around to see if it’s true. In my experience, if it seems too crazy to be true, there is usually more to the story.
She might still be a bad person, but this story has more context that matters.
True, it totally left out the fact she killed three horse and a goat too and the fact that the puppy that she killed was only 14 months old. He also left out the quote from Noem’s daughter …“Hey, where’s Cricket?â€.
Do you think she is trying to get attention for the VP spot?
“The South Dakota governor said she hated her dog, named Cricket, because she was aggressive and “less than worthless” for hunting.”
Maybe she should replace Harris as VP. Seems the Biden family could use someone to help out with their dog.
Commander has probably crossed that golden bridge to Valhalla by now. Little bastard was trying to eat all the secret service guys. I blame it on Biden. There are no bad dogs, just bad dog owners.

Safe bet that we’ll be treated to all of Trump’s potential VP picks trying to outdo each other’s “I killed my animal/pet/loved one” stories.
