The fact that she admitted that she killed a dog shows me that she is not intelligent at all, and should not be VP.
This is true of any animal, cows, bulls, hogs, wild animals.
If you pull out a chicken from a dog’s mouth, you might get accidentally nipped. It does not appear that this dog bit other people, and just went after chickens. I think my two labs would do the same. I have been scraped by my dog’s teeth by accident pulling a towel out of her mouth. Noem is not living in the 1800s in which transportation is horse and buggy with no dog rescue. There was no reason she needed to shoot a puppy when she has a car, and animal rescue shelters in her state. She took the lazy way out. What she should have done was find a rescue that could train this dog ( 14 months old is still a crazy puppy) and re home it to a family who does not have temptations like chickens. The rescue could have determined if this dog was salvageable. Noem ruined any chance of being VP or a cabinet member. That shows me she is stupid.
