This is not like the famous novel To Kill a Mockingbird written by Harper Lee.
This was an incident narrated by Ms. Kristi Noem, the South Dakota Governor. She is in the short-listed candidates to be the Vice-Presidential nominee for Donald Trump. She wanted to show the American voters that she is tough enough to face “difficult, messy and ugly” tasks. So Kristi narrated the following incident.
Kristi Noem had a dog named Cricket. She said her 14 month old was very difficult to handle, train and discipline. According to her, Cricket behaved like “a trained assassin” with an “aggressive personality”. Attacked family chicken and killed many of them. She thought her kids are in danger.
What did she do about it? She took her dog, Cricket, to a gravel pit and shot her dead.
She is getting lot of criticism from the American public. America as a whole is a dog loving nation. Her act did not go well with the America public. This may endanger her chance of being a Vice Presidential candidate for Donald Trump.
I have heard about dog owners shooting their hunting dogs accidentally. Never knew someone shooting their own dog deliberately and bragging about it.
My point is if Kristi Noem wanted to get rid of her dog, she could have given it for adoption. Or, if she wanted to get rid of her dog forever, should could have put her to sleep in a more humane way.
What do you think?
