This is fully intended as a hit piece by The Guardian.
But most self-sufficient, conservatives who read this will not only see nothing wrong with it, but give Kristi Noem credit for doing an unpleasant task that needed doing.
As much as I love animals, this was the right thing to do, and she did it. It only elevates her, in my opinion.
But we are not the targets for this hit piece. It is Leftists. And to them, who know nothing about the life and death like this that is commonplace in areas like South Dakota, this is like murder.
I don’t care.
It Trump chooses her as a VP, I might or might not support her on various other things, but on this I would fully support her and credit her rather than disparage her.
If it's a horse or a cow, you'll call the vet to come over because it's worth a lot of money. If it needs to be put down, you'll get it to move back somewhere if you can where you can bury it or the stink won't bother anyone and have the vet put it down or put a bullet through the brain pan to kill it instantaneously. If it's a cow you might butcher it. If you're European and its a horse you might butcher that also.
The country is being ruined by a flood of idiotic sentimentality.
Killing a dog unacceptable.
Supporting Planned Parenthood baby killing is totally fine (to lefties)
Had she only killed an unborn child instead, she would be a shoo in.
How very stupid of her. Trump do not pick this dog killer. I think he should pick Ron. Maximum gravitas is needed.
Common practice, here, in the country, with dogs that kill chickens or run deer.
Those that are shocked by these normal actions weren't going to vote for PDJT, anyway.
Written by British idiots who’ve never spent so much as a day on a farm or ranch.
Noem doesn’t come even close to the number of deaths that Biden and democrats have done.
Biden and democrats have killed 50-100 million with the approval of abortions. Even now, Biden and democrats cry foul after SCOTUS put an end to the federal nationwide approval of abortions. But, millions continue to die because of abortions, and Biden wants millions more, as do democrats.
Does Kristy approve of murdering the “unborn” humans?
Why did n’t she castrate the goat, and eat it once the smell was gone?
I pray she is not part of POTUS Trump’s team.
I’m an animal lover myself but I don’t have a problem putting down an animal that is out of control. There are times such as in this case when it’s the appropriate thing to do.
Well that's quite another thing entirely. My grandparents knew that a chicken killing dog had to be put down, DRT. My parents knew the logic of that belief. No dog can be allowed to mess with food on the table. My parents and my in-laws believed that a dog was just a dog.

So? Farm life is serious business.
She just killed her chances of being a VP pick. It seemed to me she was more concerned about the lack of hunting skills her dog had than anything else. Dogs will go after chickens. My dog killed a baby rabbit. If you take on the responsibility of owning a dog, train them well. If your dog cannot live around chickens, etc., take them to the humane society for adoption. The fact that she admitted that she killed a dog shows me that she is not intelligent at all, and should not be VP.
I killed many of my dogs and many more of neighbors dogs for killing my chickens.
I’m fine with putting down a bad dog, either their own, or one that is attacking someone.
Everyone should be able to do it.
Putting a dog down, to spare people and animals, is not as uncommon as some may like to think.
A friend’s father owned a very large mutt - bigger than a wolf.
One day, when the family was eating dinner, watching TV, and someone glanced outside thru the slidig glass doors, there was “the family dog,” on the deck, with a human baby’s head in its mouth.
Remainder of the baby, still attached, thankfully.
The short of the rest of the story:
The baby lived.
The dog was put down.
The judge assigned all costs to my friend’s father, including:
Friend’s father had to buy the home and property of the baby’s family, plus pay for the moving of the baby’s family, plus additional penalties.
The dog was just plain bad news. It could separate its all-chain link “leash” and then wander.
It could swim quickly.
One day, I was swimming offshore about 250 ft. The dog spotted me, busted loose, dived in, and began swimming toward my like a fully-fired-up steamboat.
I headed for deep water and had an advantage of snorkel and scuba fins.
However, it is a much more sad event than putting down a whole truckload of nasty commie Democrats.
