She's going to shoot the dog anyway.


AdamGenesis

She HATED that dog.


iJayZen

I hate her. Hopefully karma will get this B.


XCBeowulf

Palms are sweaty, mom’s spaghetti


Meghatronix

That goat is dead, I'm ready. Palms are sweaty, I wonder if my husband knows already.


zogar5101985

Something about 3 horses and that's just how life is on a farm? I'm not good at this. But still she also kills horses.


Wandering_Scholar6

If you can afford 3 horses, then you can afford a vet to have them put down properly....lady just doesn't care, which is a huge red flag.


zogar5101985

Yes, that's my point, that she also needlessly killed three horses. I just wasn't able to put in in to the ne t line of the song.


Wandering_Scholar6

The goat seems particularly atrocious to me because intact male goats are generally kept for one purpose, making more goats. They aren't pets. They pee on their faces (to attract lady goats) and can be aggressive. She killed the goat for being "smelly and mean" aka exactly what the goat was supposed to be. If you want nice goats that don't smell awful get females or fixed males. (I mean they still smell like goats)


zogar5101985

Yeah, in all cases it was needless killing. I have no idea how anyone defends it.


NimblePuppy

Nanny goats , smell nice enough, smart and very affectionate pets for the right people. Use so milk is much easier to digest for babies and some other animals that may still need milk. Billy goats with good care are probably safer than mean ornery rams. Ie the rise up to strike, so easier to defend than a ram coming at full speed and often blind siding people


tico42

She hated that dog


Dark420Light

She already shot the dog, and she's proud she did.


thatgayguy12

"Alright! Vote for me *and* I'll shoot the dog in the head" Kronk: "Don't you mean or?"


Positive_Lead_2903

Shoot my dog........... shower with my child.......which way to vote??? Luckily you're probably armed, so whichever one comes to town EXECUTE your right as an American 😉


fumigaza

Then deep fry it.


Used-Organization-25

Pfft, like she needs excuses.


lizard_king0000

It's so weird that she is getting so much attention for a dog instead of her views on abortion


A_VERY_LARGE_DOG

One of the most successful movie franchises of the last decade is more or less based around a guy who kills literally hundreds of people because someone killed his dog. It’s part of the current zeitgeist.


h08817

Idk man anyone who shoots a puppy just kinda seems sick in the head to me... Like sure if she shot a 1 year old child that would be worse, but it's still psychotic/sociopathic behavior...


Upper-Trip-8857

This!! It was a 14 month old puppy - that other actions could’ve been taken. But she hated that dog.


sendnudesformemes

Because it couldn’t be trained…….at 14 months old….with a shock collar.


RuleSubverter

I agree 💯. Anyone who shoots a puppy isn't fit to be among us.


sysadmin420

Yeah... I dunno... most of the time if I have to make the tough decision, I take my dog or cat to the vet, or they stop by the house, we talk it though, make sure it's the best option. I comfort my animal as the shot is given, so they know I cared. I stay with my pet for a while, stoking and loving it while I still can. Then I nod, pay good money, then I get my old dogs ashes back, and they go in the ash cupboard like a sane person. It never even crossed my mind it'd be even legal to just shoot a dog, then that crazy fuck from the humane society lol. This state is so weird. I mean I understand livestock situations... But my fucking dog? I just couldn't do it, it wouldn't even cross my mind.


Shimi43

Well even in livestock situations, a smart person gets a vet or tries to find the source of the undesirable behavior and if there is a way to make the change, even if slowly. The fact that she IMMEDIATELY went to kill, without any major (or implied) thought of another action insane.


sysadmin420

When I was much younger in growing up in Sioux Falls, I dated 2 country girls who's family shot livestock... I have no idea what normal is, I was more pointing out love. Heck even our Humane Society dude seems to think its normal, but only in SD, or midwest lmao. [youtube](https://youtu.be/8gJb8_P__xY?si=-DmLhcjYCQLspxAn). I'd think a vet would be the right way out if an animal is too sick to make it, or a rescue is the way to go. Just shows me he probably doesn't want his funding cut.


Germanhuntress

And this dog wasn't terminally ill or something. It was a 14 month old pup that misbehaved, and i think it killed a chicken? Which is very normal for a bird dog that hasn't been fully trained. It was a healthy, normal Drahthaar pup, doing Drahthaar things.


GeekyGryphons

It killed *two* chickens. TWO.


Germanhuntress

Well. In that case ... this new knowledge completely changes the whole situation. /s


DapperMention9470

After she took it out to train it to hunt and kill birds. It was doing exactly what she told it to do. It was her fault it wasn't on a leash. Also you can't train a 14 month old dog who has been on a leash in your back yard all it's life to hunt birds, maybe given enough time years in fact but she took it out at 14 months for the first time. It was probably wound up like an alarm clock from lack of proper exercise for 14 months.


40TonBomb

That puppy has no chance of growing up to be another Kristi Noem though…


sctwinmom

There’s a reason the bad guy signals himself as such by kicking a puppy in the first scene he’s it.


Crooked_Sartre

Or it's just a Keanu Reeves movie, a known solid dude who is very pro-dog


crazier_ed

Baba yaga!


imp_st3r

Fucking Gen Z with their avocado toast and their ruthless use of well honed assassin's skills to relentlessly hunt down their enemies and punish them!


hrminer92

People treat dogs better in the US than their fellow citizens.


EdTeach999

Dogs in most cases are better than their fellow citizens. Human beings are a cancer.


PrimeToro

The biggest thing about pet dogs are that they love you unconditionally, which is a lot more than what most humans can do .


Hour_Hope_4007

I guess that's why when one bites your leg and kills your chickens you completely lose your head and do something you immediately regret and spend year apologizing for. \*checks notes\* well I guess not everyone...


Dependent-Edge-5713

We literally programmed dogs over thousands of years to do two things. Love us unconditionally, and have trouble breathing for being a fucking abomination


fourierthejunglist

You are spot-on, 100.0% correct in that statement. We are a filthy cancer to this world (fuck you, self-righteous Christians) and if it weren't for the collateral damage to animals that it would cause, I'd wish for a civilization-ending asteroid.


SearchContinues

I used to feel this way. Every-single-word. It takes time and maybe therapy but eventually you learn it doesn't serve you at all. It is a feedback loop of bitterness and despair built on confirmation bias and self-loathing. Internet algorithms showing us mainly the tastiest bits of humanity's worst actions makes that darker version of reality seem even more real and reinforces the dopamine hit of "see, humanity really does suck!".


Melodic-Psychology62

But the dog was a hunting dog of some value. Shoot or sell? WTF kill that puppy I hate it!


hrminer92

It embarrassed someone with poor self control and/or anger issues. The same reason the goat and the other animals had to die.


cavyndish

She's a fucking cunt! Probably uses a vibrator that looks like a cross!


DapperMention9470

Or just put it on a chain in your back yard to warn you of burglars at night. Have your daughter take it out for walks everyday as part of her chores for an allowance. The kid learns about money and has a pet to train, the dog isn't executed gangsterland style like he is in a robert deniro movie.


Dependent-Edge-5713

Dogs deserve it unconditionally always More then we do


SpaceBear2598

Let's rephrase that: "It's so weird that she's getting so much attention for casually murdering her family pets like a proper psychopath instead of her bog-standard backwards views that she shares with an entire political party which has maintained said dogma for decades" Doesn't really sound so weird, does it? And that's exactly how it is. Pro-rape, forced-birtherism is a terrible, atrocious, misogynistic ideology entirely about controlling women's reproductive organs and behavior, it's awful, but it's also an entire ideology that has been around for DECADES. Being a psychopath that casually offs beings in your own household is...thankfully still unusual. Let's ***NOT*** let the fascists make that normal too.


slick514

“Bog-standard” Fantastic descriptor.


etranger033

A fair point. Except the abortion debate lines are pretty well set and we all know who is on which side. However shooting a defenseless puppy has a shock factor that cant be denied.


majj27

Everyone expects GOP officials to be rabidly anti-choice. Not everyone expects them to be cheerfully shooting their pets.


BellacosePlayer

Most people already hated her for her views on abortion/weed/corruption/etc, being a dog murderer is just extremely visceral and also upsets a lot of republicans who *didn't* have a problem with those things. Its not like Noem was beloved before this.


little-bear5556

or for stealing 6 million dollars


wastedkarma

The people were trying to get to see how crazy she is LIKED her views on abortion.


Excellent_Ad_3804

protecting babies and unborn children is such a weird concept huh


what_mustache

To be fair, they don't yet have a clinic out at the gravel pit.


The_Rivera_Kid

Whatever it takes to get rid of her.


SuperSecretSpare

Whatever works to dissuade people from voting for her. I'm surprised nobody has latched on to the fact she has a muscular physique. We all know how much Republicans hate manly women.


samhouston85

Shows, how we as a society have normalized oppressing women's rights! 


Fun_Salamander8520

I wonder what her dog graveyard is in comparisons to Michael Vick's?


pointzero99

There's a possibly apocryphal story about a man who took out an ad in the paper back when people did such things. He says in the ad that he'll set a cat on fire in such and such a place at such and such a time. An angry mob forms at that location on the foretold day. The man shows up, identifies himself, reveals he has no cat. He says, "We're burning human beings alive in Vietnam right now, but no one came to protest against that when I tried to organize one." Silly story, one cat burning is easier to stop than a foreign war, but your comment reminded me of this.


RandomTcgDude

Nah, she'll kill it the very first instance she deems it "Untrainable" because she has 0 patience and is a Psycopath.


werewolf-wizard612

Also if you vote for her she'll kill the dog. She just likes killing dogs... because she is a horrible being.


Efficient_Cheek_8725

Is she ATF?


ArkamaZ

And a goat, and three horses...


cactusmac54

Serial killers start off killing animals.


cambugge

How do these disgusting people all hold positions of power


Jealous-Currency

Idiotic MAGA followers


HackySmacks

People with Anti-Social Tendencies generally seek out positions of power: Doctors, Lawyers, Police, Politicians. Anything where they can wield authority and power against other people


ArdenJaguar

They need to put this all over the airwaves nationwide. MAGA family values. Puppy killers.


ncist

Huckabee kids tortured dogs too


wafflesoulsss

Allegedly that maga lady with dark hair and glasses that let a guy play with her tits during a Beetlejuice play shot her neighbors dog. The neighbor went to the media wanting people to know (hopefully it's not true)


ArdenJaguar

I read about it. Actually, the dogs had gotten loose and were killing other peoples animals. Another neighbor shot them, but it wasn't Madame Beetlejuice.


swordfishchill

Like a good Christian, she killed one of God's creatures because it displeased her.


JacketCivil

She needs to be dragged to a gravel pit and put out of her misery.


wafflesoulsss

By her own logic, yes. She has attacked many animals so I guess some farmer should drag her to a pit "euthanize" her for being an out of control violent bitch and leave it to rot like trash.


pzombielover

This image is so familiar it sears into the brain. Wasn’t this image originally a spoof ad in National Lampoon?


UnderstandingNo3426

It was National Lampoon cover “If You Don’t Buy Thịs Magazine, We’ll Kill This Dog”


pzombielover

Thanks! Great use of the image!


relativex

They also released a comedy album with this image embedded in the vinyl. I remember watching this dog with a gun to its head rotating at 33 rpm. It definitely had Bill Murray on it. Pretty sure Dan Akroyd as well.


charliebluefish

Was hoping I wasn't the only one to recognize this! National Lampoon was comedy genius much of the time.


tbryant2K2023

Well, the dog was being trained as a hunting dog for starters. Whose fault is it for not properly training, let alone for the dog getting loose. At 14 months, the dog is still learning and developing.


BasedGodBets

Trump hates dogs. That should be an ad for Maga supporters


SmilingDutchman

Puppykiller Noem


WinchelltheMagician

Shoots puppies & cheats on husband with (the also married) Corey Lewandowski.


wafflesoulsss

Classy.


DapperMention9470

The party of family values


ncist

Underrated that she also tried and failed to kill a goat right after to save time digging graves


Caped-Baldy_Class-B

Justice for Cricket!! 🦗 ✊🏽


vt1032

Sounds like an excellent candidate for ATF director...


Talosian_cagecleaner

I hope South Dakotans appreciate this moment. I am still speechless almost. I had to verify the passage to double check I wasn't just going with a mob attack on the woman. One of the greatest self-owns in US political history. I think South Dakota itself set her up. She got played by her own way of life in the state. Of course one puts down animals on a working farm! But you don't applaud yourself for culling living things, fer crissakes. I've known farm folks. I've known rural folks. *Who the hell \*wants\* to tell you about putting down a dog???*


DapperMention9470

In an autobiography no less. John Gotti never bragged about taking someone to a gravel pit.


beavis617

Well, Republican candidates love to use weapons in campaign ads. 🤭


Strict_Condition_632

And their family Christmas cards. Nothing like your own “well-armed” militia in matching flannel jammies.


lordGinkgo

North Dakota here, hi. I think it's not that she has appalling views on women's rights (although she does) It's not that she is treated LGBT people like crap (although she does) It's that she shot a dog. And I'm not interested in What about isms, The biggest takeaway is this is a morally bankrupt vile person, who I would not allow within 100 yd of a school much less running the state.


Showtysan

Republicans looking at each other... "Can we do the same thing with women?"


Krofder_art

Lock her up for torturing animals. Interview her and do outreach… if you can shoot a puppy… what else did she shoot???


PseriousPseudonym

A goat and three horses. Well, the horses were 'put down', but it's pretty sus all three died at the same time.


ralphy_256

Kristy Noem's body count; > [1 dog,] A goat and three horses. Well, the horses were 'put down', but it's pretty sus all three died at the same time. And, don't I recall from the book excerpt that when she was killing the dog or the goat, the first shot didn't kill the animal, she had to 'walk back to the truck for another shell'? If my memory is correct (please comment if it's not), not only does she believe that euthanasia by gunfire is valid form of 'training', but she can't even do that competently!


Krofder_art

There you go. There’s a pattern here. She’s got evil in her eyes and worse… she’s proud of it!


PseriousPseudonym

Yup. She has all the hallmarks of a psychopath and a narcissist, and I genuinely don't think people are worried *enough* about her having any part in the presidency. America should be very concerned about her gaining more power.


Coolguy57123

Krusty’s got a gun all puppies better run 🎶


AdamGenesis

okokokok ... I'll vote for her! Jeesh.


loadbearingpost

This whole feed is a painful reminder of what a redneck asshole my brother is.


Easy-Worldliness3702

So what happened this keeps popping up on my timeline and I’m not even from here lol


TurtleSandwich0

The Governor of South Dakota bragged about killing her dog in her upcoming book. She was trying to use it as an example of making a hard decision, but it has had a negative response from readers. It has a national spread because she is trying to be Trump's running mate. Others who want to be Trump's running mate will be trying to keep this story in the spotlight because it makes her look bad.


Easy-Worldliness3702

When I was little our dog got really sick and we didn’t have money to put him down or get meds so my dad had to shoot thunder and he cried for the whole night. So if that’s the case I get it but it’s probably not bc politicians never have money problems


TurtleSandwich0

The Governor's dog was perfectly healthy. Putting an injured or sick animal down is one thing, my opinion is that this incident is different.


Easy-Worldliness3702

Thank you for the info tho


BillyDeeisCobra

It’s so heartbreaking. As the owner of a challenging and reactive dog (thanks, rescue, for the misleading description) I can tell you it takes consistency, dedication and commitment to develop the relationship with that intelligent animal as part of your family. All Noem’s shown with this anecdote is that she’s impulsive, impatient, and selfish. The political spin is so GROSS, though. She’s selling this as “she does what needs to get done” - like the MAGA folks fantasize about doing to those they hate, just like she hated this dog. It’s a disgusting, violent fantasy wrapped up in this weird country cosplay like she was living out the end of Old Yeller.


OurWeaponsAreUseless

Good to see a National Lampoon cover rehashed. Showing my age. :-(


Bhamfun44

If you don’t vote for her she will shoot another dog


My_leg_still_hurt92

Don't trust her, she'll kill the dog anyway.


GMPnerd213

Is she running to be the new head of the ATF???


formerNPC

Her new campaign slogan. “Kill dogs not babies”


Back_To_Pittsburgh

You South Dakotans are nuts for voting her as Governor.


richincleve

Kristi Vick.


shit_ass_mcfucknuts

I have plenty of republican neighbors who love their dogs and care for them very well. I can’t imagine this just blowing over for her.


HiJinx127

And if you do, she’ll still shoot it.


Used_Intention6479

"Noem Country for Old Dogs". (Or puppies.)


3_high_low

The best way to gain support is to GET a dog, not kill a dog.


Maleficent_Scale_296

There is much ribaldry here, have you asked yourself why? It’s our brains protecting themselves from the very real horror of what she did. She killed a defenseless pup because she didn’t like it, it didn’t behave the way she wanted it to. This doesn’t just seem like psychopath behavior, it actually is. Okay, now he won’t choose her for his running mate but the fact remains that he did think her a viable one.


Wild-Soil3808

I've been waiting for someone to use this iconic photo. Well done!


ozzie510

Krusty's got a gun 'n she'll use it on the first dog she sees.


Secret_Cow_5053

Lol

But if you do vote for her she will still kill the dog

Jokes on you. If she wins she'll kill the dog anyway. That's how she celebrates.

Isn’t it weird that dogs understand guns? Or at least understand pointy things? He looking at the guy like don’t shoot and my dog has made that same face when I point a stick at him


Buddy-Brooklyn

Ah! Memories of the good old days of National Lampoon.


Ok-Concentrate2109

No. No. No, That's all wrong. Vote Trump, or Kristi Will kill your dog. Insert navigation symbol


CrispyTacoPosso

i mean, that dog is fucked either way


tachyonRex

This is the behavior of someone so damaged, they were witnessed killing two animals, and are trying to create a positive narrative. Some people like the feeling, when they harm an animal. A reasonable person contacts animal control or a vet. Like the cost would have been beyond her. Hilary Clinton hates dogs, but her solution would be to not have them near her.


Striking_Present_736

She has a specific set of skills.


Devils_Advocate-69

Funny how the right is coordinating against her too as if they got the same memo from the higher ups.


Tl3705

Well that didn’t take long….


Upper-Trip-8857

That’s not a 14 month old puppy. And the question I can’t find the answer to is, did she shoot the horses?

"Just kidding, we're the ATF and we have some new rules for you."


yourMommaKnow

My dog rarely listens to me and she is the most obnoxious dog I've ever met. I love her to no end and the thought of killing her because she's 'untrainable' just sickens me. How can someone be so cruel?


FacelessWombat

I'm opinion


Artluvr4484

Hilarious


Imfrom_m-83

She said she made a hard decision. No. She took the easy way out by shooting the dog in the face. instead of training it or finding it another home. That’s her first instinct. To kill. That’s called a psychopath.


Business-Ear-5255

Psycho killer

OMG, I still have that issue!

Barry thinks she wasted the meat!


Betelguese90

She will have you vote for her only to still kill the dog in the end saying, "That is how it is on a ranch."


3waychilli

Shout out to the National Lampoon magazine. Read this article/ magazine or we will shoot this dog.


_4string

Kristi needs a manicure 💅


DemonShroom87

Knowing how old the dog was, still a puppy, I absolutely cannot read these articles or comments. It’s heartbreaking…it makes me give my puppers extra butt scratches and belly rubs!


justmypostingname

Every SD FFA kid who's ever raised an animal and then slaughtered it called and said you are a city boy.


OkImagination4404

Seriously, isn’t this serial killer behavior?


No-Emphasis927

Considering trump expresses the same faults as Noem described the dog had, can we do the same to him, and why stop there, MTG is another prime example, as are most fascist Republicans.


crazyscottish

Man, conservatives are gonna eat this up like a soup sandwich. They LOVE this kind of thing. Strong Christian woman? Hell yeah!!!
