Noem's killing of her goat is just as bad [View all]

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/apr/29/kristi-noem-misdemeanour-shooting-dog

Snip

Instead, Noem’s startling description of her decision to kill Cricket – and also an unnamed, un-castrated and unruly goat – has pitched her into an unprecedented political storm.

End snip.

One of the accounts of what she wrote said she complained of the goat being smelly and knocking her children down ruining their clothes.

If you know about goats, uncastrated males like to pee on themselves to attract females, they also have active smelly glands for attracting females. Goats are energetic and interact with each other and other animals and humans with head butting. If you are keeping a male goat for breeding, deal with it. If you want a pet, have them castrated. The smell usually goes away and they may calm down a bit.

She killed the goat as well as the puppy for being natural, both unspeakable acts. IHMO
