What Is Wrong With Kristi Noem?
South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem is in hot water for graphically depicting how she killed her 14-month-old pheasant hunting dog named Cricket in her new book, Not My First Rodeo: Lessons from the Heartland. Noem claimed the German Wirehaired Pointer had an aggressive personality type and one day, ruined a pheasant hunt before killing a neighbor’s chicken. This was when Noem decided it was time to put the dog down. She dragged the dog to a gravel pit and shot the dog.
The tribalism in modern politics has led many on the right to accept Noem’s explanation of the events as “farm life.” The reality is that Cricket was a young dog who needed training. After one failed pheasant hunt and an unfortunate incident with the neighbor’s chickens, Noem decided to kill the happy-go-lucky dog while being angry with it. Instead of getting a trainer or putting it up for adoption, Noem shot the dog to death in a gravel pit as construction workers watched. And then there was the goat. Oh yes, the casualty count increased.
The online red pill bros - whose only reference to farm life is Yellowstone - are defending Noem’s actions because she’s on the right. If Judas had an R next to his name, I guarantee you these same people would defend Judas by saying, “Without Judas, there would be no resurrection.” But the problems with Kristi Noem don’t end there. Watch:
I hope her career is ruined forever .
In these times killing a dog is really bad, now if she had done a baby, well that may have been ok! I would never brag about doing that! I grew up on a farm and if a dog starts killing chicken(a food source) well, you got rid of it! But I’ll say, if people around knew it was a chicken killer or an egg eater, well they would really be pissed at you! I really think that people have gotten to pet crazy the last 20 years! I hope they know that if they were to fall and break a hip/ get immobilized with no way to get help, that sweet lovable pet will use you for food!
