What was the context leading up to the story?
There are some things that we have to do but we don't broadcast. If the context was about making tough decisions then she should have picked a better story. If the context was to portray herself as a relatable outdoorsy woman that knows how to handle guns then that's even worse.
Either way, shows poor judgement to me and I wouldn't want her as VP.

100% okay in my book. If a guy went to the pound 1x a week to get a dog for dog burritos I wouldn't bat an eye. I also wouldn't accept an invitation for a bbq, but if he wants to eat Fido, then bon Appetit .DarkBrandon01 said:aggiepanic95 said:DarkBrandon01 said:

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.
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?

I understand her reasoning but still stupid to put that in a book as a politician, probably "killed" her VP chances.
IMHO, it shows executive function managing/resolving a stressful situation. It was very hard to pay a vet to put down my dog last year. It would have been incredibly difficult to pull the trigger on her myself.
I agree this wasn't the best move to publish in a book due to the mamby-pamby emotion driven recoil coming from the average citizen.
Neighbors should get sued.bobbranco said:
Here you go Nancies. It's a tear jerker. A feel good story.
It was poor decision to write about something so polarizing 20 years later. But this must still weigh heavy on her conscience.
Property was probably not fenced. And the chicken coop was not dog proof. Boo Hoo.
LOL My high school class was 37. We actually used horses to work cattle. I have cut pigs and grafted trees. I have shot my own dog(he had a stroke and couldnt wait for a vet because he was suffering) I am much more rural than you but still wouldnt kill a puppy for screwing up a pheasant hunt or shoot a goat because he smelled bad.drcrinum said:You've never lived in a rural area with acerage, have you? Dogs are for protection. They take care of the snakes, coons, possums, armadillos, and skunks, keep the deer and rabbits out of your garden (to some degree at least), and sound the alarm whenever strangers or cars come on your property.2040huck said:Nobody wants one running freelydrcrinum said:
I once had a dog that went after the neighbors' chickens. I had to take him to the dog pound, which basically meant he eventually was going to be exterminated...nobody in a rural area wants a chicken killing dog.
So yes, if I thought my dog was going to harm my neighbors chickens, I would fence him.
I think the only thing left to do here is have a rural-off. Are we doing seeded or round robin or what?

Depends on the economy.
Be honest - you wouldn't want her as anything, no matter what, and this little story isn't the straw that broke the camel's back on an agonizing decision you've been wrestling with internally.Dan Scott said:

It doesn't matter how you feel about her killing a dog, but you'd be crazy to not understand the political implications of putting this in a book.
Oh, that's right, it's (d)ifferent.

In this day and age simply euthanizing a domesticated dog isn't necessary if there's an opportunity for someone to come and take it away. This isn't the 1880's.
The hand wringing over this is beyond stupid, and shows how out of touch a significant portion of the population is with anything outside of HEB.
If you lived on acerage in the country, what's the point in having a dog if you have to fence him up in your back yard?

No hand wringing bruh. Not even mad about it.
I simply have an opinion that a domesticated dog, in this day and age, gets different consideration than it would in years past, when resources and options were limited…and societies sensibilities were different
You think all dogs are saved when sent to the pound or the SPCA?Sid Farkas said:schmellba99 said:...and yet, day in and day out, people still dump dogs and cats on country roads all day long.Sid Farkas said:

Naive people are amusing.
I'd let her shoot my dog for just once.
Not really

So you have a city dog or house dog. Never had one of those. Compared to an outside country dog it's apples vs oranges.
I can see where it could be needed to put a dog down, but that would be a last resort. Try it in a different environment first. Dogs aren't bad actors by nature so if it's acting bad there's a reason. If the Gov's dog was 'untrainable' it's because she doesn't know to properly raise and train a dog. As they say… there are no bad dogs, just bad dog owners.
Maybe she's courting the Muslim vote?
Farm dogs are working dogs. Shooting a problem dog in the presence of other working dogs makes an impression on the remaining dogs. Public executions will do that.

Well I have a lab. Not sure if it can be defined as house dog or country dog. It prefers to stay in the house when it can. I also have a poodle mix. It likes it outdoors and would likely chase chickens if given the chancedrcrinum said:

Kristi Noem is a good governor for North Dakota but too soft to be a potential POTUS !
