She already admitted hating the dog.

she must hate that dog even more now

She's just vile. Shooting a puppy? You can just give the puppy away. She's completely heartless.

Pretty stupid to disclose in a nation of dog lovers.

Noem killed the puppy cause she hated the dog. She stated so in your book. I would never vote for a dog killer. Pure evil person.

She was foolish to give her opposition that information. This was a self inflicted wound.

OMG Animal cruelty! She needs to be charged for cruelty!

She could’ve just gave up her dog up for adoption if she didn’t want it

Why would you brag about this?

I can’t imagine how someone would believe a story of them killing a puppy would make them more electable.

Now we need john wick in real life

She broke the law . 'LIVESTOCK' ISN'T A LETTING YOUR UNTRAINED PUPPY UNLEASHED INTO AN AREA with loose chickens. "Livestock" means any cattle, sheep, swine, goat, or any horse, mule or other equine,"

Who would give any political responsibilities to some woman who can't even train a 14 months dog ?

Shocking and disgusting.she could have surrendered the dog instead of play God taking its life.

What an evil monster. Even before this news came out, something seemed off about Noem. Rest in peace, Cricket.

Honestly, her ignorance is astounding. Even now she has no clue why her bird hunting dog would kill birds, immediately after being encouraged to hunt birds.

So because of her own irresponsibility, letting an untrained dog go murder chickens she then punishes the dog? What a psychopath.

A person that is mean to,animals is no good person

A criminal psychologist once reported in a court trial concerning a sadistic serial killer that the signs were first exhibited when the killer first started killing animals before moving on to young women

There's probably more dead bodies than gravel in Noam's "Gravel Pit".

She's PRO-LIFE!

I don’t have a dog but it’s weird to brag about this let alone do the act itself to see a being lifeless after such an inhumane killing.

She took a coward's approach and brags about it. She thinks that if it's worthless, then any treatment is just.

I wonder if her husband feels that way when she is being aggressive??

Imagine if Biden did this. She went full Michael Vick on her own dog.….

Political suicide 🤦‍♂️

What the hell was she thinking of when she disclosed that info.

You're asking, "Did she?"? Ummm....it's in her book that she wrote.

Evil woman

What the F@&$!!! She openly admitted to killing her dog?? How is she not canceled or in jail?

Kristi Noem thought she was running for office in China 🤦‍♂️ 😂

Wait til you hear what Fauci did to the dogs

And when she was done killing Cricket, she dragged a goat she hated out to that same gravel pit and killed it too! She's a psychopath!

Noem doesn't know how to care for the animals she owns. The attack on the chickens was due to Noem not securing the dog properly. Now, to the goat. Noem's astonishment that an adult male goat is "smelly" & "aggressive" is truly a "duh" moment. She knows nothing about the animal, and apparently did not secure it properly either. They had to die because of her incompetence at animal husbandry.

What is she doing to her face? Yikes, she looks scary!

We had someone's dogs chase our horses through barbwire fences and caused them a lot of damage. The dogs got put down by the sheriff.

You guys run stories on this but not stories on politicians getting arrested for sexual crimes against children.

You can kill babies in America, but how dare you put down a dog.

She is a monster. She is not talking about farm life, and the necessities thereof. She is talking about a narcissistic response to other beings. When a living being displeases her, she drags it to the gravel pit, and shoots it in the head. How do three horses suddenly need to be killed at the same time? They were 25 years old, so I guess they needed to die, because they were not young enough for her. Monster. She is a monster.

She wanted a BIRD dog and when the dog goes for a chicken, its evil? A chicken is a bird.

She needs to go to prison for animal cruelty

Damn. Thats sad. Poor puppy

She should’ve put her puppy to adoption, instead of killing her own pup. 😢😡 she is so cruel.

She said the puppy was “untrainable” yet went after chickens like a “trained assassin.” She’s literally the assassin shooting a puppy in the head and bragging about it!

So it turns out most people dont know what living on a farm/ranch is like.

Noem should be charged for animal cruelty. She's a psycho.

Well I am upset with dog lovers who let their dogs poop anywhere.

No common sense and a cold heart.

City folks clearly don't understand, and that's okay, but in the country and with farm/ranch life it is not uncommon for a dog to be humanely put down by its owner if it's agressive and violemt. Most ranchers don't run to town for every need they have. Living so far away from towns means they learn how to take care of most things on their own from basic vet care for livestock to basic health care for themselves to mechanical issues, etc. Ranchers take having to put an animal down very seriously and do everything possible to make it humane and quick. Sometimes it's an aggressive dog, sometimes it's a dying calf, sometimes it's an old horse that's suffering....ranching is a way of life that most people couldn't begin to understand.

If you can't train a dog... how can you actually think you're qualified for governor?

Maybe her father didn’t really die in a farm accident?

Well, to be honest no shelter would have taken an aggressive dog and would have put it down. Amazed at how many don't seem to know this common practice with shelters.

Did anybody notice how Fox News is not covering the story

People have their dogs put down all the time. What exactly do you think happens when you give them to a shelter?

how is she not in jail?

😮 city Folk don't understand country folks.😢

But its ok when the law says you have to put down a mean pitbull right. You all a bunch of hipicrits

In yellowstone they called it the train station.

Disgusting. Period.

“No going back” is a perfect title for this book. Karma sucks, Kristi.

The dog was taking down farm animals like a coyote

A dog- three horses and a goat- serial killer

Kristi Noem was waiting for Cricket to make her day, Noem was itching for an excuse.

Umm, this is normal for people that have working dogs the animal performs or it gets put down. Dog attacks livestock on a ranch, it gets put down.

She dropped out of college to work on her family's farm ~30 years ago. Governor of South Dakota and she doesn't even understand that poultry does not fall under the classification of livestock in her state.

Look at her eyes, she is insane!...not the dog.

You got to believe she had proof readers and publishers reading this occurrence and no one thought this would be a problem for her on a political level! Amazing! I mean sad!

Boy howdy, tell half the story much IE. She had trained multiple dogs. This one had severe aggression issues, and tried to attack her as well, when she tried to intervene in said chicken onslaught. Tell the whole story. This is terrible. Tell me you've never been on a farm, or been around working dogs, with out telling me that.

forgot to point out she got the family goat and killed it because it smelled. well l guess we know what could happen if her running mate smelled!

The really disturbing thing is all of the people defending her. I hope none of them ever own a dog.

This is crazy if it bit somebody’s child, it’d be a different story

When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

Damn she blasted Cricket. 😂

You have to be smarter than the dog to train the dog, enough said, ,

IF YOU FIND THAT OFFENSIVE, DONT ASK WHAT SHE DID WITH THE FAMILY GOAT !

Really? A sheltered life can cause disillusion. Were you sheltered? Animals and people die for various reasons, some good some bad. Arrested for doing something legal? Get out of your bubble.

So sad, She could have found a private trainer, or let a family/friend care for it? Or simply take it to a shelter. No? You took the poor dogs life as if you were on a hunting trip.

shes a sociopath

Even Trump Wasn't HAPPY??!!

Well at least she didn't eat it like Barack Obama did!

Justice for cricket

Just to heard that is horrible , She could take a dog to the shelter .

Terrifying woman. I can't begin to imagine what it is to be in her head. Poor little Cricket.

Wtf

Inside Edition failed to mention that the dog tried to attack her as well when she was trying to stop the dog from killing the neighbor's chickens. Also not mentioned, Noem had trained multiple dogs over the years.

When I'm on the same side with RON DESANTIS, I know she must be vile!😠

Jail for animal cruelty. No place in this world for a pet killer

😢 That is the saddest thing I ever heard someone killing a puppy because it didn't behave right!! What do you think somebody should do to you for misbehaving

I did like her but not anymore. I am a big time dog person and we had a agressive Poodle but never once did we think to put her down. We kept her until she passed away

Serious question: Did anyone actually read the excerpt from her book and post or just going off the media sensationalization?

The media has become an extremely sad entity

WFT here she need face jail time here.

Apparently a dog named Cricket was killing chickens, not anymore

2:36 It's weak, cheap, mean, cruel; I don't understand it at all.

A pointer has a huge prey drive. Of course it’s going to go after chickens. Duh.

To all of you in agreement with this ...why not take the dog to a shelter? I honestly do not understand how this is okay with ANY DECENT HUMAN BEING?! PLEASE explain it to me?! I am begging you with my whole heart!

At least she was exposed before she got into the White House😮

Have KZfaq censors gone off the track?

I'm a supporting constituent of hers and cannot defend it.

I've had to do the same thing so many times I can't even remember a puppy making it to adulthood.
