Jesus Christ. I thought it was going to be her putting an old dog out of it's misery, but she just straight up blasted a puppy with a fucking shotgun because she didn't like it >_> the fuck man

Uh......

Wtf

Psychopath

I mean, yeah, sometimes it's normal in rural areas to put down an aging, suffering dog with a quick bullet, especially if you can't afford to...

*reads article*

...oh.

Republicans being abhorrent.

Must be a Friday

This doesn't even deserve a reaction image

What the actual fuck is her problem

any day that ends in y tbh

It's one thing to do it, and another to put it out publicly as something that just had to be done instead of giving the dog up

Fucking unhinged.

That might be the worst story I've ever read that didn't involve killing another human being. The way she justifies it is a whole other level of screwed in the head.

She's absolutely getting the VP gig.

This is actual psychopath behavior.... Jesus Christ, just go drop the dog off at the shelter, someone's more than likely willing to adopt it and put in the time with it to make it act right. What a fucking shitshow.

Is someone going to take Kristi out to the gravel pit and put her down when she starts acting out?

While saying how much she hated them!

"It just had to be done because I REALLY wanted to."

Most sociopaths have the sense to not publicly share stories like these. This is actually very brave.

Could she be charged with animal cruelty?

>take puppy out and train it to hunt birds
>let the puppy run free and it hunts birds
>murder it because its a bad dog for hunting birds
>brag about murdering your child's puppy minutes before they got home from school in a memoir

modern day republicans

Literal psychopath shit

As disgusting as it is, this is how humans normally are. It's disgusting but this is normal for what this species is.

LOL at "a better politician wouldn't tell this story".

She's telling this story precisely because she wants to be Trump's running mate.

This is a mating call from one psychopath to another.

If you can't handle a dog, put the dog up for adoption.

I havent done anything like that. Nobody I know has done anything like that. Have you done anything like that? Anyone here want to say how theyve done something like that? Come on, lets here more how this is what most of us are like.

I've never done anything like that.

being serious, I think this is a really interesting political anecdote because of the difference between what she's trying to communicate ("us out in the rural land have to make hard decisions about animals sometimes") vs what she accidentally communicates. That is, that she's terrible at managing or training animals and she literally just kills things that don't meet her expectations. The reasons for killing the animals are centered around her ego. The dog embarrassed her and didn't listen. The goat got her kids' clothes dirty.

Oh she just shored up the psychopath vote, sure. But she massively overestimates how much of the voting bloc that actually is; because if there's one thing that traditional WASPs hate more than (what they deem) cruelty towards the unborn, it's cruelty towards animals, especially pets.

Normal for The Joker perhaps, but most people aren't like that at all.

No offense but hell no, absolutely not. Politicians would have you believe this so that you need to rely on them to keep you safe, but nah, people really aren't like that. These psychos are not like us.

Yeah, any farmer / animal handler worth their salt will immediately recognize this as not only monstrously cruel, but also completely incompetent.

IMO her story has an intended audience of one person (Trump), and I think it will be a big hit with Trump. Should dog-murderer Noem get the VP pick, I'm sure anyone in the GOP base that presently cares about cruelty to animals will find an excuse for that to no longer matter.

I knew someone who shot a dog because the dog had been run over by a car and had their back broken. That was a mercy killing.

This is like when the villain of the story shoots one of their henchmen for being "weak."

<_<

Yeah, that's what I thought too.

Instead she killed a dog because it was a poor hunting dog and went after their chickens? And then right after killing the dog she decided to kill the goat too?

This isn't making hard decisions, it's being a psycho.

Somebody learned all the wrong things from Frank Underwood.

Humans are naturally violent and aggressive as a species.

Genuine psychopath behavior

Listening to an audio explanation of this now. It's some sick shit. She's a very sick woman. No doubt considers herself a bastion of morality, like every other sack-of-shit Republican in government.

Though listening to the chicken part of the story, I think many rural dog owners would put down a dog for killing animals/property of other people. It was of course Noem's fault that the dog even "escaped" and it was a 14 month puppy behaving as such, it's terrible and RIP chickens and their owners who wept over them.

Also, ALL OF THIS is her fault because she intended for this to be a pheasant hunting dog, so naturally it's going to see birds as something to pursue. For those who don't know me well, I despise hunting unless it's a necessity for survival which it most surely is not for her.

Pretty much committed career suicide there.

She thought it would make people view her as tough, but instead she just looks like a psychopath.

Even if you assume this is true, what she did is not "normal" in any way, and your weird ass gimmick where you automatically assume the worst of everything and everyone is stupid as fuck.

But not "kill a literal puppy for no good reason" aggressive.

There's a reason we link casual animal cruelty to mental illness. We as a species to NOT see that as normal.

Insane that people like that exist. It might make sense from someone from a culture where dogs aren't held in high regard or maybe a passage from a late 1800s book, but otherwise it's just an alien mindset.

Dog not doing every thing you want them to do at all times?

Humans naturally kill the fuck out of their dogs when they are poorly behaved?

Which Earth is that?

I wish I can believe that. Every single area I have personally ever been to has nothing but aggressive, violent people. And there's nothing but violence and lack of empathy from Gen Z and Alpha kids. Their predecessors aren't much better either.

This is just the reality of things.
