My dog killed a wild rabbit, should I have shot the dog? The dog was a 14 month puppy who killed chickens because he was not restrained. So what a normal person would do is 1. Contact the breeder to rehome to a more urban area 2. Place the dog in a no kill shelter which could enable someone who knows this breed to adopt and train 3. Board the dog ( like I have done) with a dog trainer for a few months. She did none of those things, and instead shot the dog in a fit of rage, and during that rage shot the goat which she didn't bother to castrate. All you rural people saying that's how it is on the farm, do you shoot expensive hunting dogs when you didn't bother to train them? Do you not have a car that you can drive to a shelter? Or do you all have horse and buggies and cannot afford the hours it would take in your buggy to rehome your dog at a shelter?. It makes rural people look very sociopathic by saying that's how life is on a farm. Killing chickens is a natural dog behavior, you train them out of it or rehome to a place that doesn't have chickens. If you are too lazy to do that, you should not own a dog. If the dog is an adult dog, and biting people , you take it to a vet to be put down. As we can see, Noem couldn't even do that correctly with the goat, the goat suffered because she did not kill it on the first shot. Noem ruined her career, she did us a favor by exposing herself. Can you imagine if she was picked as VP, and this came out? Trump would have lost the election. This was a witnessed event , it would have come out eventually.
