That dog did not “need to be put down.” It was just most convenient for this lazy asshole.
If the entire political ideology you wish to represent is made up of performative cruelty, you need some way to demonstrate that you have sufficient sociopathic sadism for the job.
Wait until they find out how a hamburger is made
…by shooting a dog?
Yeah how do you think they make them so juicy, dog meat
You mean hot dogs?

Then, on the way home after the hunt, as Noem stopped to talk to a local family, Cricket escaped Noem’s truck and attacked the family’s chickens, “grabb[ing] one chicken at a time, crunching it to death with one bite, then dropping it to attack another”.
Cricket the untrainable dog, Noem writes, behaved like “a trained assassin”.
When Noem finally grabbed Cricket, she says, the dog “whipped around to bite me”. Then, as the chickens’ owner wept, Noem repeatedly apologised, wrote the shocked family a check “for the price they asked, and helped them dispose of the carcasses littering the scene of the crime”.

She tried calling the dog, then used an electric collar, and NOTHING worked?? Those are two things that are known not to work, she hasnt even made a tiny attempt to train the dog, then got annoyed when a hunting dog, specifically a bird dog, wasn’t safe around birds.
So what you’re telling me is she’s incredibly stupid as well as evil?
