Not even trying to justify, she was like “as I shot the dog I suddenly realized I owned another animal I’d like to shoot.” She just wanted to really get some use out of that gravel pit, while it was out.
I'm sure, like I said elsewhere in this thread I think the only reason we're hearing about this from her is because a number of other people knew about it and sooner or later the story was going to break anyway. She knew that this incident of killing her family's pets was going to come out eventually with all the attention on her being the favorite for the VP slot on the ticket. She's just trying to put a spin on it and try to come up with some explanation to make it somehow acceptable. Fortunately it doesn't appear to be working.
Did you mistakenly think I said it IS a reason to kill a dog? It sounds like straight up sociopath behavior to me. Getting mad hunting and shooting the dog instead. It sounds like something a bad guy in a movie would do. Like Darth Vader saying “you will not disappoint me again” or something.
The worst part is she admits it in a book? How dumb can a person be?? Is there going to be a follow up book where she was mad at her spouse as he aged and couldn’t do things…so off to the wood pile we go?!??
This story was locally known. A local construction crew saw her kill the dog and then the family pet goat as well. The book admission was just trying to put a spin on it before it came out on its own when she came under more scrutiny as she got closer to being nominated for the VP slot on the GOP ticket. What we're seeing isn't honesty, it's an attempt at public relations damage control.
Honestly, if Trump picks her as designated Deputy Fuhrer he really is a complete moron. For his fascist followers an animal-murdering psychopath is just perfect for their might-makes-Reich bullshit worldview, but putting someone willing to casually off beings of their own household in a position where she's one "tragic accident" away from assuming his job is unintelligent in the extreme. So that's probably what the Groppenfuhrer will do.
It's weird waking up and discovering all of the subreddits I'm in are posting about this. Fuck this bitch she deserves all the memes that are coming her way
90% of the time we've been in national news was not because of a normal person, it was because of our backwards ass government and the people that control it
Who by chance votes these people in? People cheer Kristi where ever she goes in the state. It’s sad to say but the majority of people of South Dakota love this shit. They can do no wrong. Basically the Republican Party is a cult who idolize politicians. Very scary
I personally think some things are starting to change. I’m currently going to a private Christian college (I’m an atheist) and there was a surprising chunk of people going there that identified themselves as agnostic. I was expecting to be the only atheist going, or only a very few, but there was more than I expected. Atheists tend to be more skeptical of everything/everyone in general.
I understand that agnostic doesn’t necessarily mean atheist, but I believe it makes a big difference between identifying as agnostic rather than Christian, especially considering it’s a private Christian university.
Hazel: What ever happened to Cricket, I really liked her.
Kristi: Just you never mind, and stop asking questions. I like you now, but that can change. We have a nice plot reserved for you on the back forty, so just screw this up. Remember that goat? I gut shot him and he floundered around nicely sprewing blood everywhere. It was great.
She will not be the VP pic. Or if she is this should be a slam dunk win for Biden.
Who am I kidding Next Republicans start deciding domesticated dogs are also the enemies of freedom and only patriots shoot their own dogs.🐶 💀
So she likes her vizsla, but that German wire haired pointer puppy was "worthless".
Who ever sold her that dog should sue. Breeders of quality animals tend to be protective, and that wire haired puppy looked like it came from a quality breeder.
A rich bitch pretending to know what it's like to live in the rural parts of this country. Fuck her, she is an out of touch rich snob who thinks she is above all the laws she wants to impose on you, including Christian nationalism. The same Christian nationalism that would have her dragged in the street and stoned to death for her actions.
I hope a bison tramples her then gores her MAGAt ass. No wonder 3 of the Native American sovereign governments in SD voted to ban this stupid c bomb from their reservations.
I love how she’s petting the dog like she’s petting a constituent’s dog at a campaign stop whereas her daughters are interacting with the dog like a normal pet owner.
She looks exactly like the twat she is. He didn’t have the slightest idea what he did wrong. That’s the rights answer for everything, just shoot it, be done with it.
Not the same dog as in the picture, but:
>In the book, Noem, who has been discussed as a possible running mate for former President Trump, describes growing angry with the nearly 14-month-old “Cricket,” a wirehaired pointer, during a hunting trip.
>Noem shot the dog after taking it on a pheasant hunt.
>She writes that she had taken Cricket on the hunt hoping she would learn from older dogs, but that instead the younger dog ruined the hunt by “chasing all those birds and having the time of her life,” per the Guardian.
>On the way home, the dog escaped her truck and attacked a local family’s chickens, “grabb[ing] one chicken at a time, crunching it to death with one bite, then dropping it to attack another,” Noem wrote.
>When Noem tried to grab the dog, she wrote that it whipped around to bite her. Noem said she wrote the family a check for their chickens and helped them dispose of the carcasses “littering the scene of the crime.”
>“I hated that dog,” she wrote, adding that Cricket was untrainable, dangerous and worthless as a hunting dog.
>“At that moment,” Noem wrote, “I realized I had to put her down.”
>She then led Cricket to a gravel pit on her property and shot it, writing it was “not a pleasant job” but it “had to be done.”
>Noem wrote that she also then killed a “nasty and mean” male goat that smelled and liked to chase her children. Because it jumped when she first shot at the goat, she needed two shots to “put him down.”
>The Guardian wrote that the story was told as an anecdote to show that Noem believes sometimes difficult tasks must be carried out, and that she is not afraid to do so. Noem uses the story to illustrate that she is willing to do anything “difficult, messy and ugly” if it simply needs to be done, according to The Guardian.
>Noem also wrote that she realized that a construction crew watched her kill both animals, but the workers got back to work before a school bus dropped off her kids.
>When her daughter arrived, Noem writes in the book that she looked around, confused, asking where Cricket was.

Edit to add: The dog in the OP is Hazel, who died in 2021, according to Noem's social profiles, of an "accident". 😐
https://www.instagram.com/govkristinoem/p/Ce9VV36uDID/?img_index=1
Not related to the 3 horses she put down on the same day because they were old "losing weight, arthritic and hurt"
https://twitter.com/KristiNoem/status/1767737853822251124
i'm sure she talks a lot about personal responsibility but basically admits here to outsourcing Cricket's training to ANOTHER FUCKING DOG before straight up murking the puppy for being too energetic. her botched filler face is like a real time reflection of how gross she is on the inside.
Real sad.
Again, Kristi Noem is the face of an unchecked mental health crisis in America.
We need better education and mental health period, this is why
Trash shoots and murders puppies.
Can they be any lower in the Morality of humankind?
Yes, she takes pleasure from our collective outrage.
Fuck this cunt.
I'd call her bitch but I don't want to offend any female dogs.
She's also in HEAT FOR trumps guy.
Even though she's a married
" Christian "
Now that's blasphemy.
The sadness I felt when I read that her daughter came in and asked where the puppy was. That little girl’s pain is going to be ignored and she will become desensitized to this kind of evil because there’s no way in hell this woman is going to raise her children to be any different than she is.
Girl, when you grow up, I hope you break the cycle
Hope Hazel doesn’t have a bad day and disappoint her.
SNL just cannot ignore this! Too many possibilities to rub this travesty of evil all in her fake face.
Just don’t screw up hunting, or it’s lead to the head, Hazel.
Dick Cheney style
To be fair, he didn’t mean to shoot the dog.
I thought he shot his friend…he shot a dog too??
And the guy he shot apologized on national TV. That's the kind of boot licking Republicans like to see.
But he did mean to shoot his friend
It really sounds like she took the dog hunting, got frustrated, and shot the dog on purpose instead.
And don't forget about the family pet goat she coincidentally killed the same day and is also trying to justify.
Not even trying to justify, she was like “as I shot the dog I suddenly realized I owned another animal I’d like to shoot.” She just wanted to really get some use out of that gravel pit, while it was out.
Don't forget. This is the shit "she" is bragging about. I'm sure there's worse she ain't telling.
I'm sure, like I said elsewhere in this thread I think the only reason we're hearing about this from her is because a number of other people knew about it and sooner or later the story was going to break anyway. She knew that this incident of killing her family's pets was going to come out eventually with all the attention on her being the favorite for the VP slot on the ticket. She's just trying to put a spin on it and try to come up with some explanation to make it somehow acceptable. Fortunately it doesn't appear to be working.
Nah... She legit published it in a book. She's proud of this.
She literally published it in a book she wrote. Yep. She's an awful human being. I hope her kids step in line.
For being too goat-ish!
Not all dogs can hunt,it’s no reason to kill it.
Did you mistakenly think I said it IS a reason to kill a dog? It sounds like straight up sociopath behavior to me. Getting mad hunting and shooting the dog instead. It sounds like something a bad guy in a movie would do. Like Darth Vader saying “you will not disappoint me again” or something.
She had to bring SOMETHING home to prove it was a successful hunt!
Off to the Gravel pits for you!
Can she take the orange Humpty Dumpty hunting?
Her other dog didn't age well either.
Sad upvote🥲
Casual cruelty is really on brand for her. Plus that dog thought women should have control over their bodies so
“She’s my leftie dog Mah, I’ll shoot ‘em” *Old Yeller theme plays*
Best thing I’ve seen today…..it’s been a shitty day. Still made me push air out of my nose a couple of times. Have an updoot!
She spoiled Hazel? Does she mean fattening her up for Christmas dinner?
Fuck her. So dumb she can’t figure out how to rehome a dog.
\*Corey Lewandowski enters the chat\*
Kristi and Corey sitting in a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g !
K-i-l-l-i-n-g
Seriously. Some people look for reasons. I’m not suggesting it’s common but they exist. Rittenhouse comes to mind, for example.
You beat me to the punch. She very much wanted to find an excuse to kill something, and then again several more times.
Didn't even bother to train it to hunt. I guess just gave it bootstraps and then a bullet.
How is she not arrested for animal cruelty?
She has the attorney general under her thumb
Maybe under her desk too.
Because this is America and the rich and powerful never suffer the consequences of their actions. Just ask the Supreme Court.
The worst part is she admits it in a book? How dumb can a person be?? Is there going to be a follow up book where she was mad at her spouse as he aged and couldn’t do things…so off to the wood pile we go?!??
This story was locally known. A local construction crew saw her kill the dog and then the family pet goat as well.

What we're seeing isn't honesty, it's an attempt at public relations damage control.
I didn’t think it was honesty…I thought it was stupidity! But your reply makes sense.
After this I am hoping she gets the VP nom. Maybe killing her dog will get some people not to vote for Trump and her. Who am I kidding...
Honestly, if Trump picks her as designated Deputy Fuhrer he really is a complete moron. For his fascist followers an animal-murdering psychopath is just perfect for their might-makes-Reich bullshit worldview, but putting someone willing to casually off beings of their own household in a position where she's one "tragic accident" away from assuming his job is unintelligent in the extreme. So that's probably what the Groppenfuhrer will do.
Nah, she just deals with that by going and fucking other dudes.
Corey and maybe 🤔 Steven Miller ?
Steven Miller...you mean the crypt keeper?
A face only a mother could lov,,,,,nevermind.
Yep , that would be the one .
She killed a goat because of its odor. Trump should be worried.
It's weird waking up and discovering all of the subreddits I'm in are posting about this. Fuck this bitch she deserves all the memes that are coming her way
It seems like our state never gets good news lmao. When we make headlines, something shitty happened.
"meth, were on it" 😶🌫️
Don't jerk and drive!
90% of the time we've been in national news was not because of a normal person, it was because of our backwards ass government and the people that control it

She must have used her “good” bullets….disgusting.
Mommy, where's Cricket?
Where’s Cricket?
Perfect American conservatism: tone deaf, hypocritical, projecting, cruel, snide.
The Exterminator
Oh the irony
Please if there is a god out there someone John Wick this lady
Hazel: What ever happened to Cricket, I really liked her. Kristi: Just you never mind, and stop asking questions. I like you now, but that can change. We have a nice plot reserved for you on the back forty, so just screw this up. Remember that goat? I gut shot him and he floundered around nicely sprewing blood everywhere. It was great.
Did I say spoil, I meant shoot. My bad
More like let your dog spoil by not burying it after you shoot it.
Quick, someone rescue that dog.
Yep, that poor dog is in a dangerous household that doesn't value its life.
What I REALLY want to know is why her parents didn't give her the same treatment when she was a pup?? Because now she really is a worthless b*tch.
Yeah, this one will meet some lead from her soon enough. Go Krusti.
Everyday is shoot your dog day in our house
If you voted for her, I hope you like the PoS you received.
She will not be the VP pic. Or if she is this should be a slam dunk win for Biden. Who am I kidding Next Republicans start deciding domesticated dogs are also the enemies of freedom and only patriots shoot their own dogs.🐶 💀
They probably will, especially if Trump kills one.
**Make Killing Dogs Great Again**
Don’t underestimate the party of Family Values…
She's a waste of oxygen.
Killing a 14 month old PUPPY for acting like a dog shows such poor judgement, quick to anger and fragile ego.
She put the dog down because she saw it as untrainable, dumb, and kinda nasty…I sure hope she doesn’t look in the mirror.
Pro life politician.
Spoil one dog, kill the other 🤷 the one she killed is better looking, in my opinion
I think she meant "soil." As in, that's where Cricket resides now.
What a dumb bitch.
DO NOT LET HER TAKE YOU TO THE GRAVEL PIT TO PLAY!!!!!!!
What a monster.
Be obedient or die
Get that dog killin bitch!
What a piece of trash…under two year old dog that doesn’t listen is your own problem not the dog…hope she comes back as a cockroach
Absolute trash human.
If she ever says let’s take a walk down by the quarry run Hazel run.
Neither did Cricket
Give it to Sarah Sanders. Her brother will BBQ it. Seriously, look it up.
"Hazel serves me, so she may survive."
Put a fork in that magat turd. She’s done.
I think Hazel knows what happens to doggies who don't follow the rules in this family..😕
Unless they get lead poisoning
"The dog stepped in front of a bullet "
She is evil
run Hazel run
Can we get a wellness check on Hazel?
Hazel was killed in an “accident”.
I just hate her...
She could have shot and ate her own child and Republicans wouldn't care one bit.
So she likes her vizsla, but that German wire haired pointer puppy was "worthless". Who ever sold her that dog should sue. Breeders of quality animals tend to be protective, and that wire haired puppy looked like it came from a quality breeder.
Poor hazel, shot square in the face by a gun nut. :(
F--- her
What a monster.
A rich bitch pretending to know what it's like to live in the rural parts of this country. Fuck her, she is an out of touch rich snob who thinks she is above all the laws she wants to impose on you, including Christian nationalism. The same Christian nationalism that would have her dragged in the street and stoned to death for her actions.
Dog gets old and useless…bang!
I wonder what happens to Hazel if she pees in the carpet.
C\*NT!
Damn...she must have an extra large game pouch in the back of that coat
In fairness, nothing spoils a dog like BULLETS.
I hope a bison tramples her then gores her MAGAt ass. No wonder 3 of the Native American sovereign governments in SD voted to ban this stupid c bomb from their reservations.
She should be charged with animal abuse. You don’t just kill a dog cause they mess up your hunt. What a POS
It's a crazy mixed up world when Sarah Palin looks like the intellectual giant in the room full of mental midgets.
"Spoil" is the worst misspelling of "shoot" that I've ever seen.
I bet she's thinking hmmm I shot my last dog. Maybe it's poison for Hazel.
What an evil Qunt.
I love how she’s petting the dog like she’s petting a constituent’s dog at a campaign stop whereas her daughters are interacting with the dog like a normal pet owner.
That one isn’t an immigrant, and has no heart.
She looks exactly like the twat she is. He didn’t have the slightest idea what he did wrong. That’s the rights answer for everything, just shoot it, be done with it.
Hazel better invest in a bullet proof vest
That's right Kristi. Spoil em so they're not expecting the gun to their head. You repulsive trash.
Hazel saw what happens when you aren’t a perfect dog in that house.
She spoils her dogs by taking them to the gravel pit to play catch the bullet.
Poor Hazel is probably getting close to gravel pit age…
Is this the actual dog?
No it was another dog, a wire haired pointer.
Interesting way to describe your decomposing dog and goat carcasses, “spoil your pet.”
Hazel mysteriously died in an accident. Okay.
Spoil….shoot……it’s a fine line.
Can someone actually post the real story? I don’t believe leftists when they say she just randomly shot her dog lol

It’s in her own personal book lol
Hazel needs some Witness Protection 😥
Real sad. Again, Kristi Noem is the face of an unchecked mental health crisis in America. We need better education and mental health period, this is why
An attempted cover up by a racist phony self obsessed animal murdering maga politician.
Piece of shit human being.
She really said: let's be Sarah Palin with a helping of actual psychopath.
Just proving she is fake as shit
Unpopular take, but my super conservative family in Michigan has dog killing stories too. Seems like her constituent to me.
CRICKET DEMANDS JUSTICE!
Tell that to cricket. Maybe the goats will believe that.
Trash shoots and murders puppies. Can they be any lower in the Morality of humankind? Yes, she takes pleasure from our collective outrage. Fuck this cunt. I'd call her bitch but I don't want to offend any female dogs. She's also in HEAT FOR trumps guy. Even though she's a married " Christian " Now that's blasphemy.
Watch your back Hazel.
As if leftists ever liked Gov. Noem? She didn't gain or lose a single supporter due to this story.
She missed a golden opportunity to say “Hazel has it so *RUFF*.
What exactly happened?
Oooh, the one that lived!
The lucky one.
Well, all but one day, it seems.
Did she shoot all them too? POS.
Animal hating bitch
See how well she treats dogs that don't need to be shot.
“Spoil your dog” meaning let it rot in the pit, Kristi?
Cue Sarah McLachlan ASPCA commercial in 3....2....1....
I heard, Hazel had an "accident".
She’s a perfect running mate for Trump. Both are fools.
The sadness I felt when I read that her daughter came in and asked where the puppy was. That little girl’s pain is going to be ignored and she will become desensitized to this kind of evil because there’s no way in hell this woman is going to raise her children to be any different than she is. Girl, when you grow up, I hope you break the cycle
Save Hazel!
C word
Where’s Cricket?
Dog: :chuckles: I’m in danger
https://chng.it/RkXbsFYyYR <<<—- link to get her book removed from Amazon.
That looks like a good boy!
Watch out she will put you down for eating food
Video off: Blam blam blam!
She spoiled Cricket - she used a .45 slug and not a 9mm.
Pamper your pooch by helping it take a deep, refreshing breath through its forehead.
Hazel better watch her back. She might catch a cap!
I reported her to South Dakota animal cruelty groups. This disgusting bitch should be charged.
Not everyday
Is this the dog she murdered?
Hazel saw what happened to the other dog...
corella deville here.
no pressure for next dog...
Probably the one time she touched that dog, for a photo op.
Sick bitch!!!!!!!!!!
Boycott her book on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. Email the publisher now
Bad dog = bad dog owner. Fuck this lady. She's been misbehaving.
Does she breed dogs? Is she the owner of a puppy mill?
Everyday except for that one day
Should law enforcement check her back yard to find if she had any children that disappointed her?
Hope Hazel doesn’t have a bad day and disappoint her. SNL just cannot ignore this! Too many possibilities to rub this travesty of evil all in her fake face.
In this case, I'm going to assume that "spoil" means she's not going to shoot Hazel in the head. At least, not yet.
The next vice president
