Additionally, when the governor of South Dakota took Cricket with her to meet a local family, the dog began killing the family’s chickens like “a trained killer.”
According to an excerpt from a book obtained by the guardianCricket “grabbed one chicken at a time, crushed it to death in one bite, and then dropped it to attack another.”
When Noem finally grabbed the dog, she wrote that Cricket “turned around to bite me.”
Cricket was “the picture of pure joy.” Meanwhile the owner of the chickens was crying.
Noem said she wrote a check “for the price they asked for and helped them get rid of the bodies covering the crime scene.”
“I hated that dog,” Noem wrote, believing the 14-month-old dog was “untamable,” “dangerous to anyone he came into contact with” and “less than useless…as a hunting dog.”

“It wasn’t a pleasant job,” Noem said, “but it had to be done.” And when it was over, I realized that there was another unpleasant job to do.

Since the public outcry over her treatment of Cricket, Noem has been forced to respond several times.
On Friday, Noem wrote on X: “We love animals, but difficult decisions like this happen all the time on a farm.”
“Sadly, a few weeks ago we had to put down 3 horses that had been in our family for 25 years,” he said.
“If you want more real, honest and politically incorrect stories that will blow the minds of the media, book ‘No Going Back,'” the governor added.

He then argued that he had the right to shoot him.
‘The fact is, South Dakota law states that dogs that attack and kill livestock can be euthanized. Since Cricket had shown aggressive behavior towards people by biting them, I decided what I did,” he wrote.
