The Guardian obtained a copy of Noem’s soon-to-be released book, “No Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward.” In it, she tells the story of the ill-fated Cricket, a 14-month-old wirehaired pointer she was training for pheasant hunting.
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.
“At that moment,” Noem writes, “I realized I had to put her down.” She led Cricket to a gravel pit and killed her.
She writes, according to the Guardian, that the tale was included to show her willingness to do anything “difficult, messy and ugly” if it has to be done. But backlash was swift against the Republican governor, who just a month ago drew attention and criticism for posting an infomercial-like video about cosmetic dental surgery she received out-of-state.
Fully grown Dog abortion is A-OK!
So how deep is this gravel pit? I assume she had to wack the dog with a 2x4 or a framing hammer? Or maybe she tied him up and ran him over… that’s a very hard decision. There are harder ways. Like a small hatchet with a dull edge…you know like the French realty, lots of bone crackling and a big bloody mess? No thanks!
No thanks a lot! I’m vegan. We believe in reducing and eliminating animal torture.
You sure like to fantasize about killing animals though
The quoted text from the article says she was coming back from training the dog for pheasant hunting. Seems a safe bet she shot it.
Oh I missed that part. Yup that’s most logical.
Oh? Are you a vegan? Really?
How interesting.
