A normal, well adjusted person looks at this story and says who cares; but at the same time there is no beneficial reason to bring attention to it in the first place as Noem did

LOL, 22 years on Texags, I've seen political tough guys (several flavors), workout tough guys, travel tough guys, even Trick, the immortal go kart tough guy. Dog treatment tough guys are a new one...
I want to start a thread asking what the most ridiculous thing you've seen people argue about on texags is.

Start it. My guess the answer will end up being that thread..
Really pisses you off, huh? WeirdAgthatbuilds said:
This is a non starter story. Dogs are not human. Any where you go in the world and visit a ranch or farm, any dog who kills the stock is put down.
It's totally normal, and likely, right.
We've humanized our pets far too much. Nothing pisses me off as much as hearing some couple go in about their "fur babies" or equating some yapping dog to a child.

I love dogs, but the importance of dogs, and the animal heirearchy in general, is truly a social construct. There is nothing immoral about eating dog vs cow, rabbit, or any other animal. I don't like the idea of it, as a westerner who has been conditions by this social construct, but nothing immoral about it.
In a SHTF scenario, a lot of you are eating dog and not thinkinig twice. None are killing and eating humans (at least I hope not)...and if you did, you'd have much diff emotions.

History shows that humans eat other humans all the time in SHTF scenarios. Cannibalism was widespread during the Holodomor and China's Great Leap Forward, just for examples is the relatively recent past.

According to Semafor, the "median reaction" to the dog story within Team Trump was "WTF," with a person close to the campaign telling the outlet: "Governor Noem just keeps proving over and over that she's a lightweight. We can't afford a Kamala [Harris] problem."
Quote:
In Trump's orbit, Noem's decision to disclose in her forthcoming memoir that she once shot and killed a family dog is being seen as pure political self-immolationpart of a series of "lapses in judgment" and a sign of "desperation that President Trump especially doesn't like," according to over a half dozen GOP sources who spoke to the Daily Beast.

Trump moves away from Noem after puppy killing
Looks like Trump and his team were not happy with the Noem news, and she's apparently been taken out of contention for VP.
Also, I'm totally going to use the term "political self-immolation" moving forward.Quote:

Love all the self proclaimed "farmers" on here.
You are surprised that a messaged board of one of the most prominent Agriculture schools on earth might have a lot of farmers and ranchers on it?

Thank you. I clicked on this thread because I saw "Kristi Noem," and expected posts just like this. Anyone got more? ...Muy said:
More like Kristi Yum, amiright?
Sure, but if you don't live up to her expectations she might take you to the gravel pit and shoot you.Fatboy Thaddeus said:Thank you. I clicked on this thread because I saw "Kristi Noem," and expected posts just like this. Anyone got more? ...Muy said:

But TBH my standards are pretty malleable. I always thought Lauren Boebert was kinda mid till I saw the video of her in that theater. Now I consider her top shelf material.
It has been a long time since I looked. Are we still a top 5 ag school? I work with an asshat always mumbling about CSU in Fort Collins? I need some firepower/facts.ShotOver said:lolTeslag said:ShotOver said:

On the ranch we had several dogs that had to be out down over the years. We had two types: the smaller indoor dogs and the strictly outdoor, working dogs. These are who I'm referring to.
Most were due to injury, and the cost/time of a vet facilitating the putting of the animal down wasn't in the cards. The time/money of a vet driving close to an hour each way just to put down a dog that just isn't going to make it. I remember we had one that had it's back broke. That one is still with me.
The other big reason were typically younger dogs that attacked livestock or people. There's no rehab process here, especially with smaller animals like chickens, goats, and sheep. This seems to be the case here.
