In a book to be published on May 7, Kristy Noem attempts to demonstrate her ability to “do difficult things.”
Kristi Noem’s desire for transparency backfires. The Republican and potential running mate of Donald Trump for the November presidential election is entangled in a lively controversy in the United States. In question ? A forthcoming book in which she describes killing animals. Including his pet dog.
In the good pages of the work published by the British daily The Guardian, the governor of South Dakota shamelessly accepts her rejection of Cricket, a wire-haired pointer. According to the elected official, this 14-month-old female was “impossible to train“, but also “dangerous to anyone with whom it comes into contact“.
Kristi Noem assumes it: “I hated that dog.” Until parting with it: one day of pheasant hunting, the animal was out of control, “chasing all the birds” before killing a family’s chickens. Cricket even tried to bite his owner. She decided to take him to a quarry to kill him. “It wasn’t pleasant work, but it had to be done“, concedes the elected official, who acknowledges having also killed a goat on trial on the same day.”evil” And “disgusting“. The animal is also said to have run over children.
Why is Kristi Noem telling these stories? To convince voters of his ability to do things”difficult” And “ugly“. Alas, many Americans did not have the same opinion when reading this story. So much so that the Republican reacted, defending her “love of animals“and considering that”Tough decisions like this happen all the time on a farm.”
