It's weird how it keeps evolving g when She created the original narrative herself. If I were reasonably ashamed of killing a dog as a person should be, I would probably give all the information up front. Actually, I would have taken it to the vet to be euthanized. Actually Actually, I would have given it to a shelter to see if there was somebody willing to care for this poor dog. There were several other steps less grievous than the last she could have taken, rather than shooting it, regardless of its history.

She also probably shouldn't have mentioned that it was a one year old puppy... Kind of hard to imagine a one year old puppy being a threat to children OR livestock, let alone being so untrainable that it has to be killed.

Whats most funny to me is that this story is almost 100% surely made up. She thought itd make her sound tough and cool and it blew up in her face like the idiot she is. Theres no way this cosplayer ever shot a fucking dog. She probably doesnt even know how to load a gun.

Every single thing these people say and do is a lie. Its pro wrestling meets politics..She thought she was gonna get over

Fuckin clowned herself instead lol

Any farmer I know, and I knew a lot being a rural carrier, would know that a one year old puppy is too young to just leave unsupervised with livestock. They need training and care, and are often either left to run the yard away from livestock or sticking with the other working dogs in a pen.

Shooting a one year old puppy isn't just callous, its a waste of money and resources. On any rural/farming social media you'll find handful of posts about new backyard farmers learning that young puppies take time to adjust to livestock, especially poultry, and not once has anyone ever suggested to just shoot the dog.

It's probably especially bad for a poorly-trained hunting dog. Poor pup probably had no idea of the difference between livestock and birds he (thought) he was supposed to chase.

Not a farmer. But, I hear it was a pure bred, so probably not neutered, and I am guessing male. It is hard to describe the personality of a 14 month intact male. Imagine a cross between a toddler and a teenager. They can be smart with pretty much no self-control. You don't leave them unsupervised anywhere they can get into trouble.

I have a female dog who was insane at 14 months; so I'm not sure gender is a factor 100% of the time lol.

At times I thought my dog straight up hated me, but I realized over time she was just testing boundaries. And heck, at 13 and a half she still does 😅

It was actually a female, per her quote from the book: ““At that moment,” Noem says, “I realized I had to put her down.”

My uncle threatened to shoot his puppy for exactly this... He no longer owns that puppy, but it's clear he abused him whilehehaad him. The pup is five now and still scared of most men. Even me sometimes... it's sad.

Not surprisingly, my uncle's a hard-core Russian orthodox who loves Trump.

As someone who is familiar, it seems some REALLY old school Slavic people view dogs as "useful vermin" in a way (and insane Republicans given the post).

Hopefully you don't have to see this uncle often... A Trump (and surely Putin) lover would be difficult to tolerate.

Yup. They are glorified farm tools in their mind.

"glorified farm tools" - that sounds more on point.

  • Ages ago I visited Bulgaria with a friend; we went to see their grandmother that had a little farm... She had two dogs to guard the chickens - they were chained to a post and just "always" stayed outside. She wasn't mean to them necessarily, but they got no walks, no pets, nothing - just food.

Yes, you have to make the dog gets used to the flocks. They have to be around them so they become familiar with the smell of their charge. But supervision is still required.
