You're not thinking like a farmer/rancher, especially one 20 years ago. Dogs are tools to do the job. In this case it's a bird dog that is unruly and kills chickens. You put it down and get a different one.

The entire country has been watching Yellowstone the last several years and still doesn't understand what ranch life is like. It's amazing to me.

Trust me, people in South Dakota are reading this stuff, shrugging their shoulders and saying "yeah, so, you put the dog down."

When Noem finally grabbed Cricket, she says, the dog “whipped around to bite me.” Then, as the chickens’ owner wept, Noem repeatedly apologised, wrote the shocked family a check “for the price they asked, and helped them dispose of the carcasses littering the scene of the crime.”

Admittedly, this is true. I am thinking as an owner of 2 dogs today, not a rancher 20 years ago. And since she chose, for whatever reason, to reveal this today, given where we are and how people think... it doesn't play very well any more.

Do animals on farms routinely get put down for whatever reason? Yes. Do we routinely announce it as if we are proud of ourselves for doing it? Hell no. That's just stupid.

Just my opinion, and you know what they say about opinions....

There is zero difference in ranch life today vs 2004.

It wasn't a trained working dog. It was a house pet that she thought she could take on a hunt because it was a certain breed. This idiot thought it would somehow learn just by being around other older hunting dogs. And you are defending that.

I doubt it. They probably know that she is a shitty dog owner. I bet they know that goats are smelly too.
