(DailyChive.com) – South Dakota Governor and Donald Trump’s potential running mate Kristi Noem defended her decision to kill her puppy, who, according to her, was posing a danger to others.
Recently, Noem attracted criticism after an excerpt from her upcoming book revealed that she shot and killed her 14-month-old wirehaired pointer puppy, named Cricket.
In the book, the governor wrote that she killed the dog because she is keen on solving “difficult” and “ugly” situations. She suggested that the puppy had no hunting skills and ruined her trip by chasing the birds and not listening to her commands. When they were coming back home from the trip, the puppy killed some chickens and even tried to attack her, the governor added.
This troubling behavior of the dog, Noem continued, urged her to take the puppy to a ditch and eventually shoot it.
Noem further added that the law of South Dakota allows her to kill dogs who pose a threat to livestock, and that is why she decided to take her down. She added that she never runs away from her responsibility and does not hesitate to face challenging situations.
While the governor attracted criticism from all quarters, she defended her decision, stating that her actions show that she is capable of dealing with tough situations and always takes the best possible decisions.
Noem claimed that the media is spinning the story in the worst possible way and that the currently reported version of events is “fake news.”
Everyone who wants the full account of the event should buy the book and read what actually happened, the governor added.
Since the story made headlines, it is now believed that Noem has drastically reduced her chances of being selected as Trump’s running mate. The Trump campaign felt disappointed after learning about the episode, and while Trump may not be a dog person, he can understand the repercussions of selecting a running mate who can give his opponents more room for attacks on his campaign.
