The New York Times reports:
Gov. Kristi Noem of South Dakota on Friday defended a story included in her forthcoming biography in which she describes killing a family dog on their farm, to her daughter’s distress — a grisly anecdote that instantly drew criticism from a number of political opponents.
Ms. Noem, a Republican who is widely seen as a contender to be former President Donald J. Trump’s running mate, shared details about shooting the 14-month-old dog, a female wirehaired pointer named Cricket, and an unnamed goat, according to excerpts first reported by The Guardian.
An avid hunter, Ms. Noem wrote that she had hoped to train Cricket to hunt pheasant, but that she proved “untrainable” as a hunting dog. “I hated that dog,” Ms. Noem wrote, according to The Guardian.

We love animals, but tough decisions like this happen all the time on a farm. Sadly, we just had to put down 3 horses a few weeks ago that had been in our family for 25 years.

Water finds its own level. Trump is the first president since McKinley to not have a White House dog. There’s a reason someone as cruel as Kristi Noem is a top contender as Trump’s VP. Their disregard for animals reflects their disregard for everything else. Cruelty is the point. https://t.co/xu6wMExtBK

I have to share this photo of Kristi Noem & her family, it’s too sweet not to share.
Oh, her dog isn’t pictured because she shot & killed it. pic.twitter.com/xFq8OSPK9I

A 14-month-old dog is a “baby that doesn’t know any better,” hunting dog trainer Dan Lussen tells Rolling Stone on Governor Noem’s execution of Cricket. “To me, it’s a lack of guidance by the owner, or training by the owner, or discipline of the owner.”https://t.co/e1oKAkaowW
