Pecker Gives Damning Testimony in Trump Trial; Noem Faces Backlash for Killing Dog: A Closer Look

We adopted a dog a dog in 2019 that was 26 months old in January 2019. She had been in two other homes in the 90 days prior to us being approved to adopt her. She had aggression issues they told us, so they were concerned. We told them we have trained dogs all our lives. Well she bit me one time in training her, but she is still here after five years. She is now so gentle and snuggly , trained to many hand signals, whistle signals and voice commands. All it takes is time and the right approach, don't try to fix everything at once. Food or the lack thereof obviously was an issue with her at prior homes (gained 14 pounds after coming here), hair is longer coat is shinier. Our grandson for a living, works with people and their supposed untrained dogs, to train them right. Noem shot a smelly goat too. Daughter has goats on her farm, some ranked in the top ten in the USA. Male goats pee on their face to attract the female when they come into their cycle. Don't understand it and don't want to; works for the goats so let them go for it.

[@catseye1009]

It is nice to hear stories like yours. What many people do not understand is that when one takes in an animal as a pet, they are making a commitment for 20 years or so. That means through thick and thin, and everything in between. At the very least turn the animal into a shelter so they have a chance to live. Preferably a no-kill or private shelter.

The idea of her thinking it would be OK to go public with killing a puppy speaks to her judgement as much as her callousness towards life. How could she possible expect it would be OK to say. "I shot a puppy." to the general public...a puppy for God's sake. This woman should not be in charge of an outhouse.

[@lmd2215]

Noem thought it was OK because she knows that most of Trump's voters are cruel people who would probably admire her for having the "courage" to shoot a dog in the head and brag about it. The ability to torture and murder an innocent creature is something she admires and believes that Trump and his followers admire as well. And she is correct. Give it a week or two, FOX News and their viewers will come around and start praising her for this. Trump will too and then choose her as his VP. Noem knows Trump, she knows his followers, she knows exactly what they want.

[@kenster8270]
