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.
You are talking about a 14 month old working dog. To be a hunting dog, the owner must work with the animal for incredibly long. She saw aggression before, then the dog got out, killed chickens and attacked her. Then she realized it went past the point of no return, You are incredibly naive and basically fell for a call to emotion in a clickbait article.
Tell me about how the goat deserved it next.
Meme all you want, it won’t change the fact that you guys live in a totally different realities where a dog is a cute little puppy to be cherished, instead of a companion animal that works alongside you.
Not memeing. You want to defend a psycho bitch you do it all the way. Why did the goat deserve to get capped too?

Because sometimes dogs aggressiveness isn’t the matter of training, it’s behavioral issues that could in fact never be corrected. Hence behavioral euthanasia.
