Potential Trump VP pick Gov. Kristi Noem says she shot dead a ‘less than worthless’ dog, ‘disgusting’ goat​

Published April 26, 2024, 2:24 p.m. ET

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, who is widely tipped to be former President Donald Trump’s likely pick as running mate, has admitted shooting dead one of her dogs for being “less than worthless” — and similarly killing a goat she found “disgusting.”


The 52-year-old Republican detailed the killings in an upcoming memoir as proof she is willing to do “difficult, messy and ugly” things when needed, according to the Guardian, which obtained an advance copy.


“Cricket was a wirehair pointer, about 14 months old,” she said of the soon-to-be-shot pup with an “aggressive personality” that made her “untrainable.”

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, who is widely tipped to be former President Donald Trump’s likely pick as running mate, has admitted shooting dead one of her dogs for being “less than worthless” — and similarly killing a goat she found “disgusting.”


The 52-year-old Republican detailed the killings in an upcoming memoir as proof she is willing to do “difficult, messy and ugly” things when needed, according to the Guardian, which obtained an advance copy.


“Cricket was a wirehair pointer, about 14 months old,” she said of the soon-to-be-shot pup with an “aggressive personality” that made her “untrainable.”

Noem took Cricket on a hunt to learn from other dogs — but she instead ruined the hunt by going “out of her mind with excitement” and attacking some chickens like a “trained assassin,” Noem wrote.

When Noem tried to grab the dog, it “whipped around to bite me,” she wrote.

“I hated that dog,” Noem continued, calling Cricket “dangerous to anyone she came in contact with” and “less than worthless … as a hunting dog.”



“At that moment, I realized I had to put her down.”

Noem, who also represented her state in Congress for eight years, explained that she then got her gun and led Cricket to a gravel pit.


“It was not a pleasant job,” she said, “but it had to be done.”


She recalled how her daughter, Kennedy “looked around confused” when she came home from school that day, asking: “Hey, where’s Cricket?”

The report did not say exactly when Cricket was killed. But it was not the only animal the politician writes about shooting dead.


Noem also detailed how she killed a “nasty and mean” male goat because it had not been castrated.


She described the animal as smelling “disgusting, musky, rancid” and claimed it “loved to chase” Noem’s children and knock them down.

The goat was also “dragged to a gravel pit,” but jumped when she pulled the trigger, and subsequently survived the wound. Noem went back to her truck to retrieve another shell, then “hurried back to the gravel pit and put him down,” she wrote.


“I guess if I were a better politician I wouldn’t tell the story here,” she concluded the story.


A construction crew witnessed her kill both animals, she said in the book, “No Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward,” which is due to be published next month.

Noem — whom Trump has said is on his shortlist to run as Vice President — addressed the report Friday while plugging the upcoming book.

“We love animals, but tough decisions like this happen all the time on a farm,” she wrote on X alongside a screenshot of the Guardian article. Sadly, we just had to put down 3 horses a few weeks ago that had been in our family for 25 years.

"If you want more real, honest, and politically INcorrect stories that’ll have the media gasping, preorder ‘No Going Back,'” she wrote along with a link.

She should just take a fork out to that gravel pit; she's done as a VP candidate.

The election this fall is probably going to ride on who the VP is, and she's managed to seem like more of an unlikeable cunt than Heels Up Harris.

 

[Dammit Mandrake!]

Kristi Noem is a two-faced liar.

Give us Ben Carson.

She killed a dog who killed a coop full of chickens while people screamed at it to stop and then turned to bite humans who were stopping it. Good riddance. Oh no muh cruelty to animals. If a dog is a menace, it gets shot. "Oh, she should have had a vet do it." Yeah ok.

wtf actual logic used towards shitty, rabid dogs?

Not all dogs are Disney characters and dangerous ones need to be put down
Also chickens are good animals, why is no one weeping for the chickens

She's a badass Farm Barbie who isn't afraid to make the Hard Choices to save America, not some pussy vegan animal hugger.

You know what Socialist loved animals?

I doubt Trump was ever going to pick Noem to begin with. South Dakota is considered fly over country. Its only worth 3 electoral votes.

Why would you even put this out in the public space? What demographic is shooting a dog trying to attract?

I find this to be really refreshing because you finally get to see people not putting the lives of dogs over the lives or even the comfort of humans.

when you chose to get a animal like a dog, you are making a choice. the dog doesn't just show up at your doorstep one day.

Ive threatened to beat the shit out of people I’ve seen mistreating dogs. To shoot one for being worthless? WOW; what a piece of shit.

you could at least read the article before passing moral judgments and calling for vigilantism.

i have a friend who spent several years trying to rehabilitate a shitbull that would freak out every time a visitor came over, and attack either the other dogs or a person. its a miracle that fucking dog didnt kill someone. unfortunately, despite years of effort and several liters of blood spilled, this story doesnt end with a 90 pound of solid muscle murder machine tamed through the power of love. it ends with a peaceful sunset, about two long years overdue.

I will not read the article.

But when one has to start defending how and why they killed a dog the war is already over.

It reads bad, sounds bad, and the more you have to explain it the plain truth eventually comes out: you shouldn’t have said a fucking thing.

Reminds me of another candidate who made their dog ride on the roof - whatever the reason or rationale they lost the war the moment they uttered those words.

Haven’t we learned anything from the Nuremberg trials?

The dog mentioned in this article wasn't a Pitbull. It was a 14 month old German Wirehaired Pointer.

Here’s some helpful advice on anyone looking to run for office: don’t brag about how you kill puppies in a gravel pit on your property. Voters will find it off-putting, any anyone it attracts would have voted for you anyway.

i dont recall saying the dog in the article was a pitbull. i told an anecdote. if the dog is incapable of not killing other animals then it doesnt matter what breed it is.

I will not read the article.

yes, it is clear that you are speaking from ignorance, we didnt need further confirmation

what does mitt romney have to do with anything you schizoid. that is not even remotely the same thing.

lmao

The killing definitely had to be done, but damn is that the absolute worst way to word it.

Well that’s my point isn’t it dipshit? With negative stories like this most people read the headline because it is about someone they don’t give a fuck about and the damage is done.

Most on this forum aren’t going to read her fucking explanation or the article (or yours) which is why (I’ll say it again) “if you do shit that needs explaining don’t fucking say it”.

Wire-haired pointer.

My based journo friend was like "Sometimes a dog needs killing but the smart hilljack will shut the fuck up about it and not put it in a book."

This isn't something I'd brag about, but Christ above, animals are not people and some times the responsible thing is to put them down if they're a menace. It's like some people have never lived in rural areas and had to deal with foxes, coyotes, even everyone's favorite trash pandas. It's not really a brag worthy thing though, it's just a chore you don't talk much about because suburbanites/urbanites think nature is like Disney movies.
