The revelation about South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem‘s actions regarding her dog Cricket has sparked controversy and condemnation. In her forthcoming book, Noem describes shooting her 14-month-old wire-haired pointer puppy after it killed several chickens belonging to a local family. Noem describes Cricket as “the picture of joy” during the incident.

Despite the legality of killing a dog found attacking livestock, critics have expressed shock and disapproval at Noem’s decision to shoot Cricket. Some have pointed out that a 14-month-old dog is still very young and may not have been properly trained or supervised.

Professional hunting dog trainer Dan Lussen emphasized the importance of owner guidance, training, and consistency in shaping a dog’s behavior.

Noem’s decision to shoot Cricket without apparent attempts to seek professional training or find a new home for the dog has drawn criticism from animal rights advocates and the public.

Some have questioned her judgment and compassion, especially considering the impact such actions may have on her children, as evidenced by her daughter’s inquiry about Cricket’s whereabouts after the incident.

Critics have also highlighted Noem’s portrayal of the incident as a tough decision common on farms, arguing that there were alternative options available that did not involve killing the dog. PETA Senior Director Colleen O’Brien characterized Noem’s actions as lacking in education, cooperation, compromise, and compassion.

Noem’s account of shooting her puppy has ignited debate about responsible pet ownership, animal welfare, and ethical considerations in dealing with problematic behavior in pets.
