Donald Trump’s rumored running mate, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, recently detailed how she killed her own “less than worthless” puppy and a “disgusting” goat, RadarOnline.com has learned.
In a shocking development to come as ex-President Trump eyes partners to run alongside him for the 2024 White House in November, Governor Noem penned a new nonfiction book titled No Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward.
Noem was rumored to be one of the names on Donald Trump's vice president running mate pick shortlist.
According to the Guardian, it was in Noem’s new No Going Back book that she recounted killing her puppy and goat with a gun after the poor animals misbehaved. Noem reportedly killed her puppy, Cricket, after the dog attacked her neighbor’s chickens.
“I hated that dog,” Noem wrote in her new book. She also called Cricket “untrainable,” “dangerous,” and “less than worthless.”
“At that moment,” the South Dakota governor wrote further, “I realized I had to put her down.”
Noem detailed the startling puppy incident in her new book, "No Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward."
Trump’s rumored vice president pick then described how she led her puppy to a gravel pit where she ultimately shot Cricket dead.
“It was not a pleasant job, but it had to be done,” Noem acknowledged in No Going Back. “And after it was over, I realized another unpleasant job needed to be done.”
Noem then explained her decision to slaughter her unnamed goat – an animal whom she described as “disgusting,” “nasty,” and “mean.”
According to Noem, she “dragged [the goat] to a gravel pit” and unloaded another shell into the poor animal. But the goat did not die from the sole gunshot, and Noem said that she was forced to grab another shell before she “hurried back to the gravel pit and put him down.”
“It was not a pleasant job, but it had to be done,” Noem wrote. “And after it was over, I realized another unpleasant job needed to be done.”
“Hey, where’s Cricket?” the governor’s daughter reportedly asked shortly after Noem killed the family’s puppy and goat.
“I guess if I were a better politician I wouldn’t tell the story here,” Noem concluded in that section of her new book.

“We love animals,” Noem said in a statement after the Guardian reported on the startling parts of her new book, “but tough decisions like this happen all the time on a farm.”
“Sadly,” she continued, “we just had to put down three horses a few weeks ago that had been in our family for 25 years.”
