South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has defended her decision to shoot her ranch dog in her new book, ‘No Going Back.’ The incident has sparked outrage among some lawmakers and animal rights activists, but Noem says she made the choice to protect her family and livestock. In an interview with FOX Business, Noem said that the dog was a ‘vicious, dangerous’ animal that had attacked people and killed chickens. She also said that she included the story in her book because ‘a lot of politicians have run from the truth.’
Noem’s decision to shoot the dog has drawn criticism from some quarters, but she has also received support from others who say that she made the right choice under the circumstances.
