In her upcoming book “No Going Back. The Truth on What’s Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward”, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem recounts a controversial incident where she shot her own dog. This action led to her being banned from entering Sioux Indian reservations, potentially harming her political aspirations.
The story of her shooting her 14-month-old dog Cricket is included in the book. Noem describes her attempt to train Cricket to hunt pheasants, but the dog’s behavior led to her decision to shoot it in a gravel pit. She also mentions shooting a goat that she deemed troublesome.
These actions sparked outrage, even among her fellow Republicans. Noem defended her decisions, stating that it was important to show her willingness to do what needed to be done, no matter how unpleasant. She previously caused controversy with comments about Native Americans and her stance on gun rights and abortion.
Despite her ambitions to potentially become a prominent political figure, such as a vice presidential contender, the dog-shooting incident has led to criticism and backlash. Even former President Trump was reportedly put off by the story, indicating that such actions could harm her chances of being considered for a high-ranking position in the future. Noem stood by her decision, stating that it was necessary to show her ability to make difficult choices.
