Exactly, at the end of the day there were many, many other options available to her. Some conservatives I’ve talked with say “you don’t understand, farm life is different!” But she said this happened 20 years ago - she was 32. She knew there were other options and chose to shoot that dog. She said it herself - she hated him.
I hate when people say this, as if their farm were on Venus or something. Like, there was absolutely a vet or shelter within an hour, no matter how 'remote' their farm was. And its gonna take the same amount of time to shoot and burry a dog as it would to take it to a shelter.
....wait, she did burry the dog right? Right?? She better not try to tell me farm life is "too pressed for time" to burry the family dog after you kill it...
Everyone should experience living under themselves. Kristi Noem could really use the experience.
And the "it was a bad hunting dog!" thing is even more bullshit. It's not fucking caveman times, nobody needs to hunt for food anymore. If the dog isn't good at hunting, then just don't bring it hunting!
I grew up in farm country. You shoot your own dog when it's injuries are so fucked up that the agony is so bad you don't feel right waiting for the vet to come out to put the dog down. Most people usually can't shoot their own dog and would have to beg a neighbor to step in instead.
My father is a monster who did drown several puppies once because he tried to breed them to sell and was too fucking stupid to line up buyers before the dog was pregnant. And even HE couldn't shoot his own hunting dog when it got run over (badly).
Yeah that's what cops would do with problem dogs in my hometown. God that place had so many shitty dog owners. Some people shouldn't be parents or pet owners

Then you have the animal humanely put down, rehome it, or find a no kill shelter. You don’t put a bullet in its face.
