> [@Smapti](#): > > Kristi Noem: “Hold my beer” If the story is true, I can’t blame her for killing the dog on the spot. A chicken-killing dog will certainly kill more chickens if presented with the opportunity. Now, killing the goat immediately thereafter is not something I would condone. ---

Killing the dog was pragmatic. Killing the goat was personal. (Or maybe she killed the goat because it was a witness.) ---

No–taking the dog to a shelter is pragmatic. Hiring a trainer is pragmatic. Shooting it is a crime where I live. ---

According to what I read, she did not kill the dog on the spot. She wrote the owners of the chickens a check then took the dog to another location. She then went and got the goat. She had plenty of time to do something with the dog other than shoot it. ---

> [@Wolf333](#): > > She had plenty of time to do something with the dog other than shoot it. I don’t necessarily disagree with this statement, but what were her options? Speaking as a farm boy, I can tell you that no other farmers in the area are going to take a non-trained hunting dog that has developed a blood lust for domestic poultry or other farm animals. If she had taken it to a shelter, perhaps somebody would have eventually adopted it, but the dog was definitely a liability on a farm. I know I’m in the definite minority on this issue, but I can understand her actions regarding the dog. ---

Options include training, rehoming, fencing, invisible fencing and just possibly humane euthanasia. Shooting a dog that is _actively_ predating livestock is certainly heard of in the western US, but this is inhumane and likely ilegal. ---

One can debate whether euthanizing a livestock killing dog is better than seeking some workable alternative – and a lot would depend on an objective assessment of whether the dog can be salvaged – but executing a billy goat for being what he was? And then writing about it proudly (oh, yes, she’s proud, despite any weak-ass disclaimers) is just despicable. ETA: Given how she characterized both animals and her feelings about them, I believe her real motive was simply hatred and desire to kill. ---

> [@Tride](#): > > Shooting a dog that is _actively_ predating livestock is certainly heard of in the western US, but this is inhumane and likely ilegal. I personally am aware of at least 3 dogs who were shot by their owners because they were attacking the sheep of a nearby farmer. Granted, the incidents occurred several decades ago, but I doubt it this was illegal. ---

> [@Railer13](#): > > I personally am aware of at least 3 dogs who were shot by their owners because they were attacking the sheep of a nearby farmer. Is this some sort of Code of The Countryside? That if you own a dog that is killing your neighbors’ livestock, you kill it? I’m not being snarky or obtuse or setting up a gotcha or whatever. I’m genuinely curious, as this thread is the first I’ve heard of such a thing. ---

> [@HeyHomie](#): > > That if you own a dog that is killing your neighbors’ livestock, you kill it? Pretty much, yes. You have to remember that farm dogs run free…they aren’t chained or fenced in, at least when I was a farm kid. And once a dog kills, it will kill again. In the incidents that I described above, the owner of the sheep chased the dogs away, then followed them to their homes. The dogs’ owners, without hesitation, shot the dogs. ---

Interestingly, many dogs are re-homed in areas far away from where they originated. Rescue organizations will pick up a dog like this, and find a home for it, likely where there are no chickens anywhere about. Probably in a place called “a city”. You may have heard of them. One. Phone. Call. And the problem is solved. It’s a True Fact that there are people who own dogs who do not live on farms. ---

> [@Railer13](#): > > And once a dog kills, it will kill again. And this nugget is simply not true. I guess it’s true if you don’t have a fucking clue about how to train a dog, and just think they automatically come with obedience to commands built into their software. There are people around who don’t train their dogs and then are surprised when their dogs do things that are not good. These people are fucking idiots.
