South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, once a potential running mate for Donald Trump, faced criticism for an incident described in her memoir. Noem recounted shooting her "untrainable" dog after it killed chickens and attempted to bite her. She also admitted to killing a "nasty" goat that had bothered her children.

That dog was no angel!

      Holy shit, reading the article… it really was bloodlust. It’d be cartoonish if it weren’t so fucked up. First she shot the dog, then shot the goat- failed to kill them in one hit- and went and shot them again.

      At that point, Noem said, she realised a construction crew had watched her kill both animals. “The startled workers swiftly got back to work, only for a school bus to arrive and drop off Noem’s children.”
