Unifying the Country: Trump’s Potential VP Pick Facing Controversy for Shooting Her Dog

There is a widespread sense of disapproval towards Kristi Noem for her recent admission of shooting her dog, a 14-month-old puppy she claimed to “hate.” The incident has brought together people from all corners of the country.

In her pursuit of becoming Donald Trump’s vice presidential candidate, the South Dakota Governor’s bragging about killing her dog in her upcoming memoir, “No Going Back,” has backfired spectacularly.

Noem recounts in her book how she took her female German wirehaired pointer named “Cricket” to a gravel pit on her farm and fatally shot it, deeming the dog as “less than worthless,” as reported by The Guardian.

The dog’s offenses that led to its execution were chasing birds during a hunting trip and attacking a local family’s chickens on the way back, which according to Noem warranted its death.

Noem also mentions in her book that she proceeded to shoot the family goat after the dog, stating that it was “nasty and mean” and had a foul smell.

While the culling of animals is a reality on farms and ranches, the fact that it was done in a fit of anger, as Noem revealed, is abhorrent. The dog was young, and proper training and control were lacking.

She confesses in the book that she was filled with hatred towards the dog, leading her to the decision to end its life.

This behavior is far from normal. Noem’s decision to glorify and profit off this story is deeply concerning.

Four years ago, Noem was warned that this story would shock most Americans regardless of their beliefs, yet she chose to include it in her book, even adding extra details to make it more sensational.

She claims that the story serves as an illustration of her willingness to face tough and unpleasant decisions in both life and politics.

However, the public reaction suggests that she will forever be associated with the image of “Jeffrey Dahmer with veneers.”
