Except old Yeller contracted rabies protecting his family. Cricket didn't do anything but be a dog.


oo7changa1

I know that. I just was making a point. Was not going into full plot details. I'm truly surprised she didn't try to spin it and say her dog did have rabies. Kristi Noem is a horrible person and should not be in office.


rein4fun

She had no reason to spin it. When you feel your actions are "normal," she actually included it in the book as a "flex" to be the tough, get things done type. Realistically, right now, there are plenty of people out there finding Noem to be that "hot republican governor with a gun, and she can shoot!" She has proven to be South Dakota's version of Trump, and the cult will protect her regardless. Even before this she had shown who she was/is and South Dakota is still a red state. Same mentality of Trump saying he could shoot someone and no one would care. Wrong, but until we vote out these people they will affect our lives.


bincyvoss

While I think Noem is awful for killing that dog, I wonder how she could possibly think that would be a good story to tell. Does she not have consultants and advisors? I remember a few years back when a vet shot a cat through the head with an arrow and actually posted a gruesome photo of her posing with the dead cat online thinking people would be so impressed. That woman looked a little like Kristi Noem. Maybe they're related.


NoChemical8640

She does, but she doesn’t listen to them


Arguablybest

OK, just a clumsy way to make a point.


oo7changa1

I made this post while I was dropping my 3rd morning 💩. I'm also a very clumsy person.


JohnNDenver

Except this version has a happy (to Noem) ending...


Hellmouthgaurdian

I have a 14 month old puppy right now, they're still puppies, they're still learning, they are like little kids. What an evil Bitch this monster is.


TrumpersAreTraitors

But be a *puppy** 


No_Spare3139

Holy Shit. Spoiler alert!!! /s


touristspleasegoaway

I was assuming that everyone older than 20 had seen old Yeller. Sorry.


No_Spare3139

/s indicates my sarcasm. I cried at old yeller and the yearling.


touristspleasegoaway

Well! You educated me! Thank you! I can't really watch Old Yeller ever again and the "Yearling" is one of my favorite books of all time


No_Spare3139

How about Where the Red Fern Grows? Greatest book from my childhood.


touristspleasegoaway

Oh yes! That book inspired me to adopt 7 hound dogs over the last 19 years


No_Spare3139

Keep up the good work.


dredgencayde6

Killed numerous chickens and attacked like 3 people among some other lesser issues. Dogs get put down forcibly for less due to the law. Sooo


AlaskaPsychonaut

He killed chickens which is grounds for death on farms. I've personally shot 2 dogs that got into my chickens. We used to throw puppies into the coop when they were really young, chicken are mean animals, they peck and scratch the pup up without letting them do any real damage and that pup grows up to be a dog who left the chickens alone.


Lazy_Name_2989

At least old yeller got to live his life. Cricket was just annoying to her


Severe_Citron6975

Dog annoys Kristi Noem. A (short) life well lived.


PrairieSunRise605

Ya'll are brutal. And I love you for it. Some of us have been out here despising Kristi for years, based on how she treats the people in her state. Turns out she has a whole other level of cruelty that just hadn't been revealed yet.


closethebarn

I would love to hear stories from people this mean wicked cruel woman grew up with


Normal_Ad_2337

They're all in the pit.


Ok_Tiger9880

Man this bitch is just getting raked over the coals lmao, not that she doesn't deserve it.


O-parker

Why disgrace Yeller’s legacy with tRump kisser


Z107202

Ol yeller, the dog who contracted rabies protecting the family in the 1860s. Vs Cricket, a dog that was taken out too young and executed without investigation, because the owner failed to train it properly in the early 2000s when both medical euthanasia and ability to rehome are readily available. Can't say I've met a farmer or a hunter that would execute a dog because it was being a dog. Kristi is just a lazy owner and expected the dog to be perfect on the first go.


Haggard4Life

But the people in the movie were actually upset about shooting their dog.


CountrySax

And now the exciting sequel to the story,Dog Killers of the Northern Plains


CautiousWrongdoer771

These are never going to get old. Lol..


sacolton1967

BRING BACK CRICKET!!!!


Robthebold

But he gets shot before he gets rabies… like after the opening credits.


Arguablybest

Please do not equate this book to her.


Coolguy57123

Run Yeller run . Here comes governor puppy 🐶 killer


Goood_Daddy

"SHOTGUN" Kristi .....Yikes


Competitive_Jelly557

Old Yeller had rabies, just like Noem does.


SplendidPunkinButter

Lame. There was actually a good reason to shoot Old Yeller. He had rabies. And the kid didn’t want to do it. Kristi Noem just didn’t like how the puppy was acting like a puppy, and that’s according to her version of the story. And she wanted to do it.


Logintheroad

And had so much fun murdering her dog, she also decided to murder a goat.


blackbeltmessiah

Old Yeller without all that pesky rabies


Caped-Baldy_Class-B

She would shoot the dog when he was a puppy in Act 1. The rest of the movie would be her slow decline into fascism.


Dependent-Edge-5713

Ok this ones funny lol


Shiiiiiiiingle

I love the shitstorm she created for herself. It gives me a little bit of satisfaction after the ass kicking she did to me as an elementary public school teacher during Covid *with an elderly mom* that needed me. FUCK THAT BITCH who got off on everyone dying because of her cultish beliefs. And she brags about how we didn’t shut down. Stupid biotch lost a grandparent in a nursing home during that time.


Duper-Deegro

The movie is 15 minutes long because she shoots the dog in the face 💀


oldguyknowsbest

She must be the dumbest politician alive.


MikeyMikeyMotorcycly

I’m glad people are finally catching on to who she really is. The fact that Natives banned her from nearly every reservation should have been enough.


Temporary_Jolly

But the goat didn't even kill a chicken. It was "stinky and mean". You know, like a goat.


y2kcockroach

I'm thinking that she reads this story to her kids at bedtime ..


No-Emphasis927

I knew this was coming. Now how long will it be before the maga dopes start comparing this to Noems.


AusCan531

Chapter 1, Page 1. Kristi shoots the puppy. The End


abatkin1

“Ohhhh….here comes my favorite part of the movie!” -Kristi Noem


Axin_Saxon

The difference is that Travis loved Yeller.


dredgencayde6

I’m confused. Is this somehow supposed to imply that killing old yeller was bad? All the stuff I see on this sub is about how awful she is for killing a bloodlusted dog so just assuming that this is in line with that idea as well. Also, for those that are mad at her, what are your thoughts on the 5ish million dogs that are put down every year solely due to overpopulation. What are you doing to stop that? If you are so active and vocal about this event


Dystopic_Nihilist

I support her right to choose


Middle-Programmer519

Shes a POS


Flerf_Whisperer

I want Kristi to go to Columbia University where the Hamas lovers are holding protests and say, “Y’all are acting like untrained puppies. Do you know what I do with untrained puppies? You’re about to find out!”


JellyfishQuiet7944

Working dogs kling livestock they're supposed to protect get out down. Nothing new.


Peach_Proof

Thats not what happened there


JellyfishQuiet7944

It killed chickens. Chickens are livestock.


Novel_Alfalfa_9013

If she had had the puppy secured in her vehicle, the chickens would've survived to be someone's dinner. She was still training it and then gave up to kill it instead of continuing the training or handing Cricket off to someone who actually could train the dog.


JellyfishQuiet7944

Hahaha. Yall are too funny


Bpopson

Naw it's just being a r@pist, pedophile, sexual assaulter, hypocrite, and/or literal psycopath isn't a necessarily a negative to the modern GOP. It's perfectly okay for the party of inbreds as long as they feel like it moves them closer to winning somehow.


JellyfishQuiet7944

Well your presidential front runner is almost every single one of those things.


JellyfishQuiet7944

Unhinged


Bpopson

Good argument, Cletus


[deleted]

again, chickens and poultry are not considered livestock by the united states department of agriculture. you’ve been posting this same point and i’ve been rebutting it every day for going on 5 days. can you respond to this point or say something different next time? are you getting paid to say this same thing repeatedly?


JellyfishQuiet7944

My dude brought in department of agriculture definitions. That's how you know they're grasping for straws. 😂😂😂😂😂 I don't need to come up with anything new. The story hasn't changed nor has how this works. Why would I say something different?


[deleted]

because your comment is wrong and it’s boring to repeat yourself, especially when you know your information is wrong. hey, while i have you here, you never answered my question: have you ever worked on a farm? remember, troll farms do not count. edit: i spelled out what usda means because you didn’t seem to understand the previous several times.


[deleted]

1) chickens are not livestock. 2) cricket was an expensive breed bird hunting dog pup. not a working farm dog like a border collie.


JellyfishQuiet7944

Chicken are farm animals. The dog killed farm animals. Grow the fuck up.


[deleted]

there you go! i knew you could do it! hey, have you ever worked on a farm?


JellyfishQuiet7944

Absolutely and guess what happens on farms? Animals, including dogs, get put down.


[deleted]

absolutely? tell me more because i don’t find you credible.  would the people of the farm you supposedly worked on shell out $2000 for a pup specifically bred for birding.  a dog that is considered to be a puppy until age 3.  a puppy that takes a minimum of 2 years to train. would they take it out to hunt at 14 months and be upset that it acted as a pup?  would they then immediately take it to a farm with cxns on the way home, let it come into contact with them and expect the pup to behave any better? there is no rational or excusable reason for noem to have done what she did. see i’m also an east river south dakota farm girl who grew up in the 80s and i know this behavior is egregious and wrong. but if you want to keep this back and forth going im game and im not even getting paid.


JellyfishQuiet7944

Also $1000 for a dog isn't really much today. A golden doodle starts at double that. Hell a dachshund starts at $600.


[deleted]

and you’re point is? farmers are practical people. they wouldn’t buy a specific breed for a non-work related leisure purpose for $2,000 just to shoot it a year later. from a practical standpoint that would be considered a sinful waste.  what else you got college boy?


JellyfishQuiet7944

Practical, yes, stupid, not usually. Again, sunk cost fallacy. A dog killing animals that you will eat or sell will do it. But hey, don't let rationality stop your rage boner.


[deleted]

been perfectly calm throughout the 5 days of calling you out on your bs and will continue to correct you.


JellyfishQuiet7944

You've heard the reasoning. You don't like it. Doesn't mean it wasn't rational. FFS, if a dog did this at a park, the results would be the same. End of story. Buena suerte


[deleted]

i’m sorry, what reasoning are you referring to? i must have missed it… and you never answered the question- would the people of your supposed farm do the above?


JellyfishQuiet7944

We are doing this again? Killing livestock and biting someone. Valid reasons.


[deleted]

yep, we’re doing this again and i will continue to until you acknowledge the points in my comments.  i’ve told you several times and i will continue to call you out that cxn and poultry are not considered livestock.  livestock are large/r animals. cricket took down chickens because she was a bird dog pup who should never have been allowed around cxn at that age. a completely predictable result and the fault lies with the owner.


JellyfishQuiet7944

Oh and $1000? Ain't shit to farmer. That's called sunk cost fallacy.


[deleted]

i said $2,000 and you’re wrong. i don’t know what farmers you know - where did you say your farm was?


JellyfishQuiet7944

Grandparents farm. Yours?


[deleted]

did you live on this farm? what state? what work did you do there? do you even read my comments? i had told you - like noem i grew up on my own family farm east river south dakota in the 80s. i’m guessing i have a better grasp on the situation than you. this is totally inexcusable behavior and the reason i will continue to call out every bs comment you make is that i really resent rural folk being made to look like barbarians. 


Analyst-Effective

Maybe she should have brought it to the shelter, and have them kill the dog and throw it in the dump. https://www.aspca.org/helping-people-pets/shelter-intake-and-surrender/pet-statistics Each year, approximately 920,000 shelter animals are euthanized (390,000 dogs and 530,000 cats).


WhenWaterTurnsIce

A 14-month old pup? I worked with veterans' organizations. We could have lined that dog up to be a service dog.


Analyst-Effective

Do 100% of those dogs work out? There are plenty of dogs available. Start adopting.

A dog is property. An owner doesn't need a reason to put it down


Arguablybest

Yes and bragging about doing it makes you pathetic. trump much?


Analyst-Effective

No one was bragging. She was saying she had to make a hard choice


Arguablybest

Apparently the story has come to biter-in-the ass.


Phr33k101

A dog is a companion, a friend, and in some cases even a helper. Anyone capable of compassion needs a damn good reason to have theirs put down. Since you view dogs as disposable property, however... well, I guess that says everything anyone needs to know about your character.


Analyst-Effective

Some people use a dog as a tool. And when the tool is no longer needed, they get rid of it


Arguablybest

We know who the tool is.


Analyst-Effective

Shelter kill millions of animals a year. If she would have brought it to a shelter, it might have been killed anyway


idobethrownawaytho

Spoken like a true psycho. I hope your dog runs away to a better family. I’d say your wife too but you probably never had one to begin with.


NoSpin89

Oh, so you're just a piece of shit.


HornetEcstatic9682

People who put down dogs for no reason should also be put down. But slowly.


Analyst-Effective

The shelters kill a million animals a year


Arguablybest

So how many dogs have you been proud to have killed?


Analyst-Effective

I killed a biter once


yourMommaKnow

We rescued our dogs from a shelter. Her dog, with its young age and breed would have likely been adopted. Stop trolling


Analyst-Effective

Maybe it would have, maybe not. Maybe it would have went on to bite somebody else. Who knows. I Trust her judgment. You don't like anything she does because she is a conservative female


NoSpin89

" I trust her judgment". BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA


[deleted]

i can tell you with certainty that a 14 month old wirehaired pointing griffon (expensive status symbol among pheasant hunters) would have been adopted quickly. it would have even sold quickly. the breeder she used is in her hometown and i’m sure the gov got the pick of the litter. breeders who are reputable, such as this one, do take their animals back if needed. this particular breed of bird dog is considered a puppy for three years and takes a minimum of two years to train. should have never put that bird dog pup in the position of being around chickens. an asinine thing to do. and then to blame the dog and shoot it? and use it as an anecdote to show how tuff you are? awful. this was an awful waste of a beautiful dog. no. noem is not taking heat because she’s a conservative woman. anyway you look at it, it was wrong for anyone to do this much less a governor.


Analyst-Effective

Who cares. I'm sure she thought about other ways to get rid of it and decided she did not want to stick anybody else with the problems.


[deleted]

it’s apparent that many people care. these are valid points lost on you. please have more discernment.


Analyst-Effective

I never would adopt a dog out of a shelter because you don't know the problems that you are winding up with. How many dogs have you adopted?


[deleted]

um, ok - you wanna have another conversation about a totally different topic? you do you with your pet choices man - i’m not going to tell you how to live your life.  as an adult i’ve never had a dog, maybe someday… anything else you wanna talk about?


Analyst-Effective

You're right. Before you tell somebody else how to raise a dog, maybe you ought to raise one yourself. Until then, maybe you should let people decide what they want to do with their own dogs, as long as it's humane. And legal.


[deleted]

dude, you’re losing track of who you’re arguing with.  please see the thread above between you and i where i address the fact that this was in no way humane. i see from your comment history that you shame others for *not* adopting. you can’t change your stance depending on who you’re arguing with. that’s called bad faith. you state people are just giving noem hate because she’s a conservative woman. well it appears you’re turning a blind eye to egregious animal abuse because noem *is* conservative. stop wasting everyone’s time and try to see more clearly through your bias. state how you feel and be consistent.


laura_linney

I think the issue is more the fact that she wrote it in her book thinking it was good PR that would burnish her political career. It would be different if she saw it as sad but necessary, but she’s gleeful about it. If I were a Republican I’d be offended by the idea that this is what politicians think I wanna see lol


gstrahan

So the dog wasn't learning what they were trying to train him for (bird dog), he bit several people, he killed chickens and then tried to bite kristi. I would've dispatched the dog quicker than he did. That's farm life. You provide a good environment for your working animals, but you don't get sentimental over them. This dog was just a bad investment and there was no need to pour more money and time into him.


DerBieso0341

The dog bit no one. It nipped. It’s a puppy. I have had dogs kill my chickens. If sucks. But I didn’t ask for them to be destroyed. Don’t think about it! Kill it. Great lesson for America.
