South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R), who has been under the microscope this week for an anecdote about killing her dog, defended her actions Wednesday, saying she shot the “dangerous” pup in order to protect her children.
“It was a dog that was extremely dangerous,” Noem said Wednesday on Fox News’s “Hannity.” “It had come to us from a family who had found her way too aggressive.”
“We were her second chance. And she was — the day she was put down was a day that she massacred livestock that were part of our neighbors,” she continued. “She attacked me. And it was a hard decision.”
Noem added that she had to make a choice between “keeping my small children and other people safe, or a dangerous animal, and I chose the safety of my children.”

I am single never married and never had kid. I have three small dogs I value them greatly they are my family but they are still just dogs and if given an emergency situation. I would save the human before the dog.

Stop projecting.
I stand by my post. What that psycho did to that poor dog was over the top and cruel. Animal abusers are scum.
I would expect no less from you.
Yes, but he wasn’t a vice presidential candidate.
I put a lot of effort into it and the dog kept killing chickens until they were all gone. Killed all the guineas too.
Well, its true that some dogs are not farm dogs.
