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.

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.

I had to put down a rabid skunk by dropping a boulder on it (I had to improvise) because I couldn't get animal control or the cops to come take care of it while it was stumbling through a children's park. It felt horrible, the small crowd that gathered could vouch for me crying bitch tears, but it kept the animal from suffering or harming anyone else.

 

[VeteranOfTheRetardWars]

Me genuine, unfiltered, dog shit opinion is that this is a really gay controversy that no one will care about in a week.
Yeah, murdering a dog is bad and all, but nigga in terms of issues with our country and the behaviors of our politicians there’s a lot bigger things to be mad about.

 

[Day of the Cope]

Someone should tell Democrats that wild animals who attack people get put down.

It sucks if you like animals to ever have to put any down, but sometimes you have to. My parents have chickens, so there been more than a few trash pandas sent to the great dumpster in the sky. And coyote, but they're just a straight menace and you should shoot every one you see.

I don't get these people. It must be exhausting to be in a state of perpetually performanitive outraged when the news commands it.

Probably. Though I recall some New York politician running for mayor or something that when asked: Would he stop the trains if a cat had fallen onto the tracks? He responded that he'd keep them running. He was labeled the 'Kitten Killer' and subsequently lost the race.

There is not anyone in the government right now that don't support bombing the Middle East. Republicans and Democrats are two different flavors of the same neoliberal ideology.

I've shot coyotes before to keep them out of our semi-rural neighborhood but I've never felt good about it. It is something you have to do because if you let it go they'll start eating your or your neighbor's pets. But I'd also never write about how I did it because I was angry or think that it's something worth bragging about. Also, every animal I've killed I did so cleanly with minimal suffering, which by her own account she failed to do so.

 

[Diana Moon Glampers]

I've shot animals on my property before and felt fine about it. They'd been run over by vehicles and needed put out of their misery.

The left's whole deal is saying it's fine to commit atrocities as long as you feel real bad about them, but that feeling real bad is the important thing. It's the guilt that matters.

If she'd done this but had a whole sob story about how terrible she felt, people would have lapped it up. Same action, different narrative. The left privileges narratives about guilt and that doing what must be done, the heaviness of power, should always be borne with shame and sorrow.

The idea that power doesn't have to apologize for doing the right thing and making executive judgments doesn't even occur.

You have to at least pretend you feel bad, if you want the liberals to go with it.

And of course, once you wring your hands and sob your eyes out on TikTok you can do anything you want, just feel bad about it. Deny dying people their families and let them expire holding onto a glove full of warmed water intended as a simulacrum of human contact. It's okay, you felt bad! Think how differently Democrats would treat a governor who allowed an inmate to be put to death but put out an eloquent sorrowful statement about how awful he felt about the whole thing, versus a governor who said "good, I'm glad he's dead, he was worthless."

The excusing of everything as long as you perform sorrow and guilt allows the left to perform actions they otherwise would realize were genuinely wrong, because they do the performative guilt whether or not they really feel like they've done wrong, and after a while it erodes their understanding of their own self-reflection and conscience.

 

[Falcos_Commisar]

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.

Fucking agreed

Too many retards these days excuse absolutely horrific behavior by pets especially cats and dogs.

A dog that kills for fun and refuses commands to stop and snaps at humans is to be put down, full fucking stop

A dickhead goat that attacks children should be put down, although Norm should have had multiple shells in her pockets read to go.

Animals that lames themselves or are torn up yet still alive from predators are also put down.

Goddamn y'all city folk are soft as shit and can't conceptualize problem animals

 

[Archie_Kimkicker]

People who do not have compassion for animals are niggers. And yes, sometimes compassion requires a swift end to suffering.

 

[Absolutego]

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.

Seriously, the same media made Romney supposedly strapping a dog crate to the roof of his car into a national story for two months in 2012, imagine what they'd do if Noem was Trump's VP nominee.

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.

The bragging about it is the part setting off red flags for me. I imagine the reality of that dog's death is somewhere in the middle between what she claims and what the media's painting it as, but including it just reeks of someone trying to get rural cred.
Lady, you're already the governor of South Dakota. To everyone not in your state you have enough rural creds for Republican diehards to at least pinch their nose and vote for you, this weird story doesn't help anything.

I've shot animals on my property before and felt fine about it. They'd been run over by vehicles and needed put out of their misery.

When I was a kid one of our horses broke its' leg and my dad was trying to preserve my innocence by lying and saying "just go inside we'll get a vet out here to fix it" while I was begging him to please put it out of its misery. Turns out when I finally went inside he finally got a pistol and did the needful. His heart was in the right place but I was already old enough to know what needed to be done.

There's probably a middle ground between performative angst at "having" to put an animal down and "I hated the useless, wagging, fucker. He was entirely too chipper and he sucked at being a duck-dog, in addition to riling up the neighbors. So, I dragged him, ignoring his pathetic whines, out to my execution-pit and shot him repeatedly, with non-fatal wounds, until he bled out. Then, in the height of my bloodlust, I sacrificed a goat and stuffed the mangy mewling canine's corpse inside of it. I'm glad those worthless wastes of carbon are gone, as they provided more utility as compost."

Moreover, it wasn't as if this were an event that she was asked to comment on and people subsequently took umbrage at her tone, she didn't have to tell this story at all.

I'm sure The Guardian (the source of all these advance quotes) was as circumspect as possible about giving adequate context to evaluate this work, and we should probably assume that she led with it and said it exactly like that, and that no one's deliberately taken the most inflammatory lines and put them as close to each other as possible without mitigating context.

After all, if you can't trust the journos at the Guardian or the click-farmers at the NY Post who quote them, who can you trust?

Correct. I mean one quote shows already as:

"less than worthless … as a hunting dog.”

And everything is highlighted as "she called it a 'less than worthless dog'"!

People took that bait hard already and it's a bit pathetic.

I could not give less of a shit about this woman larping as some kind of hard-nosed rancher or whatever red meat we are supposed to glean from this. She was a retard before and now she won't be befouling the GOP ticket and that's good.

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem on Monday killed a bill that would have banned transgender women and girls from female sports, then later issued weaker executive orders that include restrictions but which conservatives decried as political face-saving.

Ensuring the Security of God’s Chosen People



By: Governor Kristi Noem

March 8, 2024



When I was growing up, my dad would always gather our family together and we would pray for Israel. It was instilled in me from a very young age that the Jews were Gods chosen people, that Israel was the Holy Land, and that we should always pray for them.



I brought those fundamental ideals with me when I was in the State Legislature, when I served in Congress, and now as Governor of South Dakota. Supporting the State of Israel and our Jewish community has always been extremely important to me. It’s important to support Israel for spiritual, historical, and national security reasons. I am continuing to stand with the Jewish people by signing historic legislation to protect them from antisemitism.

Sometimes you have to put down a dangerous or just destructive animal, but I've never heard anyone put it in such a weird, sociopathic way, other than Nick Rekieta boasting about how he drowned a skunk for no reason at all.
