United States: Governor calls for Biden’s dog to be put to death

The White House showed its teeth on Monday against Republican Governor Kristi Noem, who called for the killing of Joe Biden’s dog accused of repeated biting, a few days after revealing that she had killed her young dog herself.

The governor of South Dakota, in the north of the United States, estimated that Commander, the Biden couple’s German shepherd, should experience a fate identical to that reserved for her own canine, for having bitten several agents of the protection service of the president.

Potential running mate of Donald Trump

The 52-year-old is seen as a potential running mate of Donald Trump for the 2024 presidential election. “We consider his comments yesterday to be disturbing, we consider them absurd,” declared the White House spokesperson during of the daily press conference.

“It’s a country that loves dogs, and you have a leader there who talks about killing dogs,” added Karine Jean-Pierre. Kristi Noem “should probably stop sinking on her own,” the spokesperson also commented.

In her upcoming memoir, obtained by the British daily “The Guardian”, the Republican governor writes that she shot and killed her dog Cricket, aged around 14 months, because she was “untamable”.

Going green

On Sunday, in an interview with CBS News, she said that if she wins alongside Donald Trump in the November presidential election, she will ensure that “Commander joins Cricket”.

“How many people have to be attacked and dangerously injured before you make a decision about a dog?” she asked. The Biden couple was forced in October to put their two-year-old German shepherd on green training because of his propensity to bite.

Major, another German shepherd of the Bidens, also gave untimely teething upon his arrival at the White House. He had been entrusted to friends living “in a calmer environment”.
