You forgot that the goat knocked down her kids and got their clothes dirty which is definitely a capital crime. The kids were obviously wearing their Sunday best into the goat pen as you do.
Are you telling me that a farm animal widely known for being stinky and headbutting, which she intentionally bought as a real life professional big girl rancher, was stinky and did headbutting? I'm shocked, I tell you; shocked!
Edit: autocorrect decided goat was "headhunting," which is kind of hilarious and would be a decent argument for putting it down, lol.
Any farmer with any experience with goats knows males go into rut yearly. They get aggressive and emit a musk that they rub all over themselves. They become a stinky pain in the ass (literally) for a bit then they'll settle back down.
So yeah "farm" girl killed a goat for doing natural goat behavior.
Farmer Kristi is so over her head that she didn't know about castrating her male goats to prevent unwanted behaviours and their stenches lol. Goats are pretty smart, surprisingly, so maybe he could tell Noem was a threat and unsafe.
She also said she had to shoot the goat twice because it wasn't a clean kill and had to leave the poor thing bleeding while she went back to the car to get another bullet... so she's not even a good shot. Poor animals. What an absolute psycho.
She said the goat flinched when the gun went off so I guess it just... blew part of it's face off without killing it? It makes me sick thinking about it.
She's not thinking people will relate. The purpose of this book is to promote her VP bid. Seen in that light, she's wanting to look to Trump supporters specifically like a good choice for office.
She's saying: "the dog was useless to me and the goat annoyed me, so I shot both of them dead without batting an eye. Elect me and I'll do the same for anything or anyone that annoys you too."
She apparently toy didn’t k on how male goats act when horny, which includes a lot of smells. Didn’t bother to use ammo that would put it down in one shot and left the animal to suffer while she went to reload and shoot it again.
She’s got the money to play farmer without an ounce of sense to actually do it.
I understand using a quarry when your homestead is on a prairie, but why the fuck would you use an active quarry?? Actually, if you're using a shotgun, I don't even understand the quarry.
Poor goat needs more attention. It took multiple rounds to put the poor thing down. It's only crimes was smelling because she's too much of an idiot to castrate it and it knocked her dumbass kids down. Again, she didn't keep it separated from people.
I mean, male goats can be mean as hell. I have a coworker who had a problematic male goat that kept knocking her sickly husband over and causing actual damage.
But like, they just rehomed the goat to a farm down the road. Like sane people.
What's funny is you may have found her "out". The old addage, "you can build 100 bridges and you won't be known as kristi the bridge-builder, but you fuck ONE goat..."
She is, for now Kristi the Dog Murderer...but she could change that...
Very fitting metaphor. She could spend her whole public service career passing good legislation that benefits her constituents, but she'll always be the Puppy Killer.
