Yep.  I for one like dogs better than most humans.  This makes Noem a no-go for me.

I like dogs better than most humans, too. But a dog only gets a pass for biting someone in the family under the most extenuating circumstances. Otherwise, its 'off to the farm', one of many euphemisms for capital punishment.

Noem's dog bit her while trying to get it to stop killing livestock (yes, chickens are livestock).
I have lived a few places in the country where killing chickens is a death sentence all by itself.

But biting the owner is the end.

If your message was to unify behind Trump because he's a conservative I would without hesitation. I voted for him in '16 and '20. He lost my vote long ago for '24. In a nutshell, he has stepped on conservative toes including mine, one too many times.

My message is unite behind Trump to defeat Joe Biden ---- and his lawless administration @libertybele

If "conservatives" can't do this, who the heck needs them --- or would trust them in the future?

Did I read your comment correctly if a dog does not hunt it is culled?
Our Setters breed have 3 bloodlines in the English Setter Hall of Fame
Every once in a while we get a dog that shows zero interest in hunting. Not once have we ever culled on.

The setter at my feet right now showed zero interest in hunting. He is the most lovable dog we have ever had, a true cuddle bug. Never did cross my mind to take him to the gravel pit because he did not hunt

Don't give a shit for papers and awards. I care that the dog does his job and don't go sideways too much.
A dog that gets in the chicken coop and slaughters all the birds will be dead the next day.
A dog that sucks eggs won't last long.
Any dog chasing livestock or deer will die. It's only a matter of time.
I have shot more than a few for that very infraction.

I say that having just lost my companion of seventeen years last spring - A small Aussie Shepherd that worked most of his life with livestock and was a grand help. And he never bothered the chickens, and made a fair peace with the barn cats. He wasn't much for guardian - too small of frame... But he'd work with the guard dogs, playing heeler as they came head on.

That was a hella good dog, ol Chewy was. But had he been otherwise he would be no more.
