    Another way to read this: 60% of a batshit conservative state even think Noem is guilty of animal abuse.

    Kristi Noem is a despicable cunt. I hope she trips over a stack of her shitty unsold books, falls into a deep gravel pit, and sinks beneath a pile of rocks while passerby point and laugh.

    Another 40-50% agree it was justified, but won’t actually say it because they’re spineless low-lifes. Works the same way with racists…

    My extremely objective sample size of the single South Dakota resident I have talked to about this thinks that she is a laughable disgrace.

    We talked for a bit about how basically any idiot should know that it takes a while, as in years and years, to properly train a hunting dog.

    And also executing a puppy, and a goat, is fucking insane.

    According to her the goat was not really even Noem’s goat. It was apparently a goat that was being basically rented, primarily as an au naturale lawn mower.

    Anyway, then this 50+ year old white lady proceeded to laugh for 3 minutes straight about how bad you have to fuck up to get banned from every native reservation in the state, a full 1/5 of the landmass of the territory you govern.

    Almost 40% of South Dakotans have not critically evaluated Noem

    FTFY. I refuse to believe that 40% of anyone would see what she did as justified. The only reason you would is if you want to kill dogs yourself, you don’t know what really happened, or you don’t understand why it’s bad and are giving her the benefit of the doubt.

      I think some rural people do things a lot of non rural people don’t understand or identify with. Also, I worked with someone who had an adamant position that animals didn’t have souls, so punishing people for animal abuse made no sense. When we brought up that animal abuse is a potential indicator for abuse of humans as sell, he said they should be consequence free until they hurt a human. He was also a “but if you don’t worship God what’s to stop you from doing bad things?” type.

        That just tells me that she is a psychopath who is only held back from killing humans by the fact that God might punish her for it. As an atheist, I don’t kill humans because I don’t want to. It would be extremely emotionally scarring for me. Apparently for her, it’s just a matter of “God would hurt me if I did”.

    It was a 14 month old wirehaired pointer.

    They get up to 34" tall. Everything about this is bullshit.
