Kristi Noem, a contender for the role of Donald Trump’s Vice Presidential pick, is facing backlash after admitting to shooting a pet puppy she found problematic. The shocking revelation is included in her upcoming book, “No Going Back.”
The puppy in question, named Cricket, was reportedly deemed untrainable and dangerous by Noem. She claimed that Cricket had killed chickens during a pheasant hunt, which led her to make the fateful decision to shoot the dog in a gravel pit.
This disturbing incident is not the only one detailed in Noem’s book. The South Dakota governor also recounted shooting an aggressive goat on a family farm, further showcasing her willingness to make tough decisions on the farm.
Despite defending her actions and insisting that such decisions are common in farm life, Noem has come under fire from critics. Former White House staff and anti-Trump groups have condemned her actions as inhumane and lacking compassion.
Animal rights organization PETA has also weighed in on the controversy, criticizing Noem for her apparent lack of understanding of concepts like compromise and compassion. They went as far as referring to her actions as psychotic.
The controversy surrounding Noem’s revelation is likely to have a significant impact on her political future and her chances of being selected as Trump’s running mate. The debate over her actions continues to rage, with many questioning her moral compass and suitability for higher office.
