Kristi Noem defends killing her own puppy
The South Dakota governor, who admitted to hating the animal, seems to care more about boosting book sales.

When I was barely a teenager our neighbor’s dog came into our property and killed/ate all of our chickens.
We later learned that they ended up shooting the dog. The “common sense” regarding this was that once dogs get a taste for chicken they will never stop coming back to get more.
I don’t know if that’s true and in our situation it wasn’t a puppy but this isn’t the first time I’ve heard of a dog being killed for eating chickens.
Couldn't they just have, I don't know, kept the dog on a fucking leash like the rest of civilized society?
We lived in the sticks with 10’s of acres of land per family.
They could have. But I don’t know anyone who did except for those who lived in town.
Ah yes so the responsible thing to do is to kill the puppy instead of taking walkies.
I didn’t say that.
A dog is not a house-pet. It needs to move and get exercise.
If you keep it on a leash, it will just get depressed and suffer. And that certainly isn't better.
What are you talking about? Millions of homes have dogs as pets and make sure that it gets enough exercise by taking walks and going to the dog park.
I don’t know if that’s true
I'm like 90% sure it's not, it's just one of those things that people do as a kind of "common sense" solution, because dogs are generally seen as a pretty disposable object. Like how they used to kill, and maybe still do kill idk, any animal that kills or attacks a person, just kind of on the basis that "that there animal is a man killer. ain't no goin' back from that, it's got a taste for it now.". Just dumb shit.
They killed the dog because they were pissed about the chickens and the dogs life is worth less than the time spent to train it properly.
They probably just got a new dog and rolled the dice that this one wouldn't like chicken as much.
Not responsible pet owners.
What sets this ladies story apart is that she killed the dog and then looked around for what else she could kill. Because she liked the feeling it gave her.
The "common sense" is you control your fucking dog. If you have to kill it to do so, you're a failure as a pet owner and as a person.
