Kristi Noem Defends Her Killing of Dog

Kristi Noem is hitting back at the backlash over her shooting her dog to death. The South Dakota Governor told Sean Hannity she had to put her dog, Cricket, down after the animal ate the neighbor's chickens and tried to bite her. Noem first made the revelation in her new autobiography "No Going Back." Meanwhile, Donald Trump was back in court in the hush money case. He praised the way police have dealt with the college campus turmoil.

"Untrainable." Cesar Milan is laughing. The only one untrainable is the human.

She thought it would make her look badass. Turns out, shes just a monster.

[AFloridaSon]

Who would put _"I killed my dog"_ in an autobiography?

[touncy]

no one speaks of her daughter coming home from school asking "where's Cricket"

[sharonmitchell]

If the first owner of Cricket found her to be too aggressive and Noem was concerned about the safety of her children around this dog that she already had been warned to be too aggressive, then why did she even consider adopting Cricket in the first place? This story does not make sense.
Poor Cricket.

Can’t trust anyone who hurts children, the elderly, or animals.

OBVIOUSLY SHE SHOULD BE BANNED FROM OWNING PETS

[butterflyblue]

She should be arrested for animal cruelty. She could have taken it to vet for humane treatment or given it to a trainer.

She clearly didnt understand that loving dogs is a bipartisan issue

[this_is_patrick]

It's clear that she put it in the book because she thought she'd look badass and decisive, when all it does is make her look like a sociopath.

[GavrilVaughn]

Fake news? You literally told us exactly what you did. Goofy

[juliethompson]

NOW the dog attacked Noem is a crappy person who outed herself and now regrets it. What a Loser.

[sunfollower]

Never liked Noem. She’s a bad governor and a bad person.

[iZiggy_]

Ever heard of surrendering a dog? She needs to be banned from owning animals

[mdmurray]

So dangerous you let it go on a hunt then left it escape from a car. Then complained your bird hunting dog hunted some birds... amazing. Then all three of your horses simultaneously developed a terminal condition... don't have much luck do you?

[kofiacheampong]

Why would you put this in your book. She brought this upon herself.

[timobrien]

Obviously, she is not a very good dog trainer. It seems the dog was a constant reminder of her failure as a dog trainer, so she had to get rid of it. What it demonstrates is her failure as a human being.

[carlberg]

If a dog misbehaves, you train it, you don't kill it. This woman has no moral compass. At any rate, her career in national politics is OVER.

[antihero]

Does she expect an 18 month old puppy to be perfectly loyal? It takes more patience, Cowgirl Barbie.

[Will-lhdd]

"bred for hunting birds"... "killled chickens" NO WAY WHAT DID YOU EXPECT
