My old boy Archie never lifted his leg to pee, ate his own shit from time to time, and hated putting his head out of my old truck when we drove places. Noem would have killed him. Thankfully we didn't and got 12 great years with him.
I had my computer destroyed because a cat decided he didn’t want to go a litterbox.
Can’t tell you have many other things my cats have wrecked in various ways.
You don’t punish a pet for *being what they are*.
If you’re a sociopath like Noem, shooting the dog (instead of investing more effort in training, or finding someone willing to adopt the dog as a non-working pet) is the “easy”, as opposed to the “right”, thing to do.
This old gal here only hunted on her own terms. The only things she ever brought home was bleached cow bones. Sadie lived her 10 years in the country as a loved pet. She was kinda sweet on the propane guy I think.
An adorable trait of MAGA politicians is their ramrod stiff neckery doesn’t allow them to cut their losses. They always have to have the last word and their last word is always an escalation. If you set the dead puppy, slaughtered goat and traumatized children aside, it’s quite entertaining.
She claims that she doesn’t shy away from the hard decisions..A 14 month old puppy requires training, that isn’t easy.. It is the easy horrifically repugnant decision to murder the puppy, the morally bankrupt Noem gravitated to..
The best part about this is that even if this were a good reason to shoot the dog, what does that have to do with the goat? Was it a chicken-killer too?
Nobody but NOBODY was focused on the LEGALITY of what Noem did.
Good people just don't fucking slaughter pets (pet dogs ain't livestock, anyway) because they are annoying.
Our dog bit a postman back in the days when there was no good option. Mom put it down by going to the vet and having it put gently to sleep instead of shooting it in the face and throwing in a goat because the hole had more room
