and indicative of HUGE ignorance for people to (self-servingly) whine about Kristi Noem shooting a dog. Let’s review, shall we?:
- The dog was a hunting dog that not only wouldn’t hunt, but scared game away. THAT alone would be enough for most hunters. But wait, there’s more!
- The dog wantonly killed the neighbor’s livestock. So the dog HAD to go no matter what.
- When stopped in the act by Noem, the dog became aggressive and threatening to Noem.
Guess what? An aggressive dog like that gets put down for the good of everyone. Now one can argue that what Noem did in terms of killing the dog was fine, but her talking about it in her book was poor judgment. Huh.
Well, that’s kind of splitting hairs, isn’t it. Basically, “city slickers” really are adrift and don’t understand at all. Should we cater to the blindingly ignorant? Maybe. But that’s where we are on this!
