But a line must be drawn somewhere, and that somewhere is revealing that you killed your 14-month-old wirehair pointer for acting like a puppy.
Appeal to emotion, Mother Jones. And not a very good one. Do better.
Way to hold them to a higher standard! /s
Don’t you have some Democrats to be criticizing?
Puppy: a young domestic dog; specifically : one less than a year old
Where did you find that info? Everywhere I‘m looking it says it becomes mature „between the ages of 1 - 2“, either when their bones have fully developed, they’ve reached their final size or with sexual maturity.
Merriam-Webster dictionary.
Many breeds do not mature until they are close to 3 years old.
When I was barely a teenager our neighbor’s dog came into our property and killed/ate all of our chickens.
We later learned that they ended up shooting the dog. The “common sense” regarding this was that once dogs get a taste for chicken they will never stop coming back to get more.
I don’t know if that’s true and in our situation it wasn’t a puppy but this isn’t the first time I’ve heard of a dog being killed for eating chickens.
The “common sense” is you control your fucking dog. If you have to kill it to do so, you’re a failure as a pet owner and as a person.
I don’t know if that’s true
I’m like 90% sure it’s not, it’s just one of those things that people do as a kind of “common sense” solution, because dogs are generally seen as a pretty disposable object. Like how they used to kill, and maybe still do kill idk, any animal that kills or attacks a person, just kind of on the basis that “that there animal is a man killer. ain’t no goin’ back from that, it’s got a taste for it now.”. Just dumb shit.
They killed the dog because they were pissed about the chickens and the dogs life is worth less than the time spent to train it properly.
They probably just got a new dog and rolled the dice that this one wouldn’t like chicken as much.
Not responsible pet owners.
What sets this ladies story apart is that she killed the dog and then looked around for what else she could kill. Because she liked the feeling it gave her.
Couldn’t they just have, I don’t know, kept the dog on a fucking leash like the rest of civilized society?
We lived in the sticks with 10’s of acres of land per family.
They could have. But I don’t know anyone who did except for those who lived in town.
Ah yes so the responsible thing to do is to kill the puppy instead of taking walkies.
I didn’t say that.
A dog is not a house-pet. It needs to move and get exercise.
If you keep it on a leash, it will just get depressed and suffer. And that certainly isn’t better.
What are you talking about? Millions of homes have dogs as pets and make sure that it gets enough exercise by taking walks and going to the dog park.
this isn’t shows how futile it is to try to shame such people into being halfway decent. it’s not possible.
Kristi Noem is a dog murdering psycho cunt. I wish her a lifetime of UTIs, hangnails, yeast infections, and congested sinuses.
Edit: added UTIs
Can we add UTI’s?
Torsion is not just for testicles, and may have the added bonus of preventing reproduction.
Absofuckinglutely.
Added.
I hope she catches her new fake teeth on a door frame.
Yes!
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you: all the signs of a psychopath
She’s literally wearing the right hat.
right fit for the job actually
That will be her unique selling point for republican voters
I find it scary, but you’re right. Acting decently with respect for those around you is no longer what it takes to win votes. Instead, you should kill puppies, not give a fuck about killing puppies, and deny that you ever did that, despite the actual proof that you did it. Then you’ll get all the votes. Because… amerikah
Wow, fuck this person. What an unhinged thing to admit to in your own fucking book. Who thought that would be a good idea?

Grab them by the puppy.

Making America great again, one dead puppy at the time
I thought this was an Onion article, and a far stretched one at that. Jesus fucking Christ.
The focusing on the puppy and not the “she liked it so much that she went and killed a goat slowly” is odd
Wait what?
She shot the dog, which obviously felt really good to her because she immediately found a goat to kill afterwards, only this one took multiple bullets.
Did the goat bite the governor?
No, they just didn’t bother to neuter it so it was ‘musky’ and needed to die
She is another performative politician. Don’t give her clicks
Somehow I don’t think reading a Mother Jones article counts as giving her any clicks
We are talking about her, aren’t we? The media is continuously giving these performative rightwingers free advertising.
I wouldn’t call educating people about how terrible she is “free advertising”. If you ignore this shit, they’ll keep electing her
Noted. That is of course why Clinton won in 2016.
All publicity is good publicity.
i think the bs the dnc pulled on bernie may have played a role…
No.
Reporting “Trump wants to deport millions of people” is considered a bad story by many but actually viewed as a good thing by plenty of Americans, which is why the “negative” press coverage was to Trump’s benefit as free media for his message.
You won’t find anyone viewing Noem euthanizing puppies and goats as a positive.
“Puppy Murders for Noem” is a very niche demographic
“It’s coming right at us!”
I mean, how can you expect to be the orange man’s VP if you can’t kill a defenseless puppy? /s
Fuck you, psychopath. My animals love me because I love them and would never let anyone hurt them. Wtf
Remember when Mit Romney drove around for vacation with the dog on the car’s roof storage bin?
By comparison Mit wins this round…I mean time count vs bullet count.
This has nothing to do with animals, and the incidents probably never even happened.
She is advocating for the return of concentration camps and gas chambers.
I wouldn’t put it past her.
She posted that she “…just had to put down 3 horses a few weeks ago”.
Again as a person who grew up in the country around livestock, WTF is she doing that she had to put down multiple horses? Maybe she should really reconsider any form of animal husbandry because they sure as fuck sound like completely incompetent ranchers.
Maybe she should be prosecuted for animal abuse.
At minimum she needs to be investigated.
Maybe she just can’t stop at killing just a single horse.
Once you pop, you can’t stop.
Yeah horses don’t die that frequently and that close together. To shoot two in one week, too shoot them! Instead of vet euthanization. Wild.
You have to get the whole horse bloodline. If you leave any alive you’ll be spending the rest of your life in fear everytime you hear hoof steps behind you.
I recall a story where my grampa had to do that to a cow. But that was ages ago out in the country where there were no vets and no other better means or knowledge.
Buy a bird dog.
WTF, this dog is OBSESSED with birds.
Let dog run loose.
Dog catches birds.
Bird dog is happy for catching birds.
UNACCEPTABLE!
Shoot dog.Nobody understands, this dog was a maniac around birds!
“I took my dog hunting and it killed a chicken instead of the bird I wanted it to kill, so I shot my dog” is one hell of a take, eh?
I agree with you on everything else. But bird dogs aren’t for killing birds. They locate and/or retrieve.
Hmm did I train the dog wrong?
No the dog is bad better murder it instead of rehoming it.
Totally unnecessary.
