I see one thread got nuked for no content.

Here's one article- https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/4627654-noem-defends-herself-over-criticism-for-killing-dog/

Noem under fire after revealing in her book that she once had to put down a dog on their farm. We all know this stuff is sometimes necessary on a farm/ranch but sheesh, this really seems like something that is better left unsaid.

On the other hand, it's hilarious- and typical- that the article later points out her opposition to abortion. So, they don't mind killing babies- just don't kill an aggressive dog?

I don't think dogs should be treated like farm animals

Never lived on a farm or ranch, huh?

Farmers treat their animals very well. That's why they work all day everyday to keep them fed and healthy. Dogs, unfortunately, sometimes need compassion and that results in being put down.

I wouldn't expect you to know any of this bc it takes someone that has been around farming, ranching, or ag to understand this and based on your posting history, you are a dem loving city dweller who has terrible opinions about anything associated with hard working, God loving Americans.

Yeah don't put it in a book.

Dogs that kill neighbors chickens need to be put down.

I hear some libs want to treat them like a spouse. Hell many of them dont know what gender they are so its reasonable to assume they wont be clear on their species either.

Kristi is a target for the left. They will attack her with all kinds of insane charges or rumors.

What about human babies?

If a dog shows aggressive behavior towards humans without provocation, putting it down isn't treating it like a farm animal

It was flat out dumb to put that in a book.

don't watch Old Yeller then

I would've been nice if she made an effort to find the dog a home. This isn't 1850.

Dogs are not people. Period. People always get pissy when I casually dismiss animals they are obsessed with, not because I dont care about the well being of their fur baby, but because I grew up on a farm and animals including dogs served a purpose, even the ones we considered a pet. Things happen on a farm/ranch sometimes and unfortunately for a specific reason you have to put the animal down. Not fun at all, but that is sometimes what happens. Ive known some libs, mainly women, who treat dogs as a husband or child replacement and they cant stand that I just think of it as a regular animal.

Are you offering your home to a terrier that has bitten people, killed chickens, and proved itself untrainable?

Just a post term abortion.

If dogs are on the same level as farm animals, is it okay to cook and eat their meat like we do with cows, chickens, and pigs?

---

We don't typically eat donkeys, horses, or roosters either, but they are all treated with the same level respect. You are not very bright.

$500 bucks says you have a "dog mom" sticker on your Subaru

Brandon is probably also one of those libs that thinks their food comes from a grocery store.

I understand her reasoning but still stupid to put that in a book as a politician, probably "killed" her VP chances.

This is the correct answer. Anyone that has every lived or worked on farms shrugs at this hubub because they get it. You love your animals but in the end you have to do stuff like this. Problem is that 70% of Americans have no clue as city or suburbanites and they many see this as worse than killing a child and will never get over it.

A lot of white people can't really understand that dogs are not people.

Talk about something that doesn't matter one iota to me.

LOL very true. And I like dogs. But I'd kill our dog if she bit our daughter.

Bingo!

Dogs are not people. Putting a dog down when necessary should not be open to public scrutiny, unless it's being done by painful or cruel means. Making an animal suffer through wanton disregard or purposeful cruelty is different.

Our society has, IMHO, eroded it's base value on human life by trying to equate other animal life with human life. I will never agree that the life of a dog or a deer has the same value as that of a human.

If an individual decides they want to treat their own family pets/animals a certain way, that's up to them, but your methods of choice should not mean that others have to follow your path.
