Gov. Kristi Noem Admits To Shooting One Of Her Dogs In New Book
HuffPost
The South Dakota governor said she hated the dog, named Cricket, because she was aggressive and "less than worthless" for hunting.
Conventional wisdom suggests it’s not politically smart to brag about killing puppies, but South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem is challenging that theory.
In a new book, “No Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward,” Noem reveals that she once killed a 14-month-old wirehaired pointer because she was “less than worthless” as a hunting dog.
Even stranger: She suggests her willingness to kill the animal is a political selling point since it shows she will do anything that needs to be done, no matter how “difficult, messy and ugly” it may be.
And it was definitely all three of those things based on an advance copy obtained by the Guardian.
Noem writes the dog, Cricket, had an “aggressive personality” and needed training before she could be used to hunt pheasant, per the Guardian’s review.
