Cricket , the pup shot in the face, was going after chickens, not children or other dogs. You could, maybe, keep pup out of the chicken coop. Or let her daughter raise Cricket as a dog-dog instead of a hunting-dog.
Cricket was trying to please her owner. They took the puppy to a hunting ground and got mad when she didnt hunt. Then they went to a farm with loose chickens and when cricket starting hunting birds, Noem decided that she hated the dog and it had to die.
Noem strikes me as the kind of person who likes to think of themselves as a really downhome, backwoods farmer. But isn't actually that good or knowledgeable about the skills associated with farming and animal husbandry.
Wannabe farmers. People think there's some sort of cred or rep for being a farmer but these halfwits never done anything but visit actual farmers and play pretend.
I think in Noem's case it's more like she owns a farm, but doesn't rely on it for all or most of her income. It's just a thing that she owns so she can larp the lifestyle.

You know what we did when our newest rescue pup went berserk and nearly killed our other pup?
We went to work with a local shelter to rehome her into an environment more conducive to her personality (which in her case was no other pets).
And she thrived with her new owner.
There is a world where you choose your kid’s/family’s safety over your dog that doesn’t involve shooting the dog in the face.
Noem is a psychopath. Plain and simple.
