    I can kinda see “shot an old horse or two” as being a positive thing, okay you got over the squeamishness of it and did a sick animal a mercy.

    Winging a goat and gosh I gotta go get more ammo to finish this one off, well that’s starting to get a little peculiar.

    LIKING IT SO MUCH THAT YOU WENT OUT AND GOT A NEW PUPPY SO YOU COULD DO IT AGAIN, well hoooly fuck we are getting into something entirely else now aren’t we?

      Yeah sometimes animals need to be put down out in the country.

      But she just completely failed to raise that dog to do what she wanted, completely impatient, then decided the only recourse was to shoot it.

      Then just decided while she was out killin’ to shoot a “mean” goat too? Like if she hadn’t decided to kill the dog she wouldn’t have killed the goat? Bloodlust is what it sounds like.

      • Yeah, putting down a dog that bites people is sometimes the only option, but the way it was worded sounded more like “it wasn’t a golden genius and I didn’t like it, so I shot it instead of putting any effort into training it”

        • Someone with one brain cell and a shred of morality would re-home the dog first. At least try too. Growing up near farmers it wasn’t uncommon for them to give someone else a dog when that dog was a bad farm dog but could be a family dog. I’ve known farmers and they don’t act like Governor Noem.
