He was not a patient man.
And these were not just ordinary egg laying white leghorn chickens.
They were expensive fancy chickens like you see at the county fairs.
And they had been kept in a fenced in coop yard, but the dog, a mixed breed pit bull, had dug into it.
I didn’t like the dog anyways, and his son, a grown man, didn’t really take care of the dog, just let it run around the yard as it pleased...........
Yeh, there are dogs that are just not good dogs. It happens. I would amend my comments to say that most dogs can be trained not to kill the chickens. Cricket certainly could have. I have chickens and I easily stopped my Chihuahua from chasing them and my Beagle.
The problem I have with Kristi Noem is that in her own words she tells you she’s just pretty ignernt about animals. She may have grown up on a farm but she doesn’t know much about hunting or animals
You don’t just throw a 14 month old dog out on a bird hunt and expect it to perform properly. There’s a good amount of training involved. Her lack of empathy is fairly concerning as well. First she shoots the dog then says what the heck lets just shoot the goat too. It sounds to me like she just lost her temper. Then to write about it in a book like it was OK also shows a total lack of insight. Definitely not VP or presidential material.
