South Dakota Governor admits to shooting her own dog

[Catherine]

Kristi Noem is the Governor of South Dakota. She is possibly the candidate for VP in the up coming US election. She has just published a book where she talks of shooting her own dog. He wasn't working out as a hunting dog and she wasn't able to train him. So she took him out to a quarry and shot him. Having done that she decided to do the same to a goat they had on their farm. She killed some horses too.

There is a bit of a pattern to her behavior. If something doesn't please her, she shoots it.
Many of us with animals in our lives have had to make the sad decision to euthanize an animal.
It is done with dignity and kindness as a last act of love for an animal that is suffering.
She took young healthy animals out and shot them. She is a little scary. 
It is disturbing that she is a governor. It is terrifying to think of her as a Vice President.

This deals with some other political issues, but it gives an idea of how people are reacting to the dog killer.
