WASHINGTON - In a recent interview on CBS' "Face the Nation," South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem suggested that President Joe Biden's dog, Commander, should face consequences similar to those faced by her own dog, Cricket. Noem reportedly described shooting and killing Cricket in her upcoming book, citing incidents where Commander allegedly attacked 24 Secret Service members.
Commander, a German shepherd, was relocated from the White House last year due to a series of biting incidents. Noem's memoir, set for release this week, is said to contain a reference to Commander, where she imagines herself telling the dog, "Commander, say hello to Cricket," if she were to become president and Commander were still at the White House.
When asked by "Face the Nation" moderator Margaret Brennan if she was suggesting that Biden's dog should be shot, Noem replied, "That's what the president should be accountable to."
Noem has defended her account of killing her dog, stating that the decision was made over 20 years ago and was necessary due to Cricket being described as "less than worthless" and "untrainable." She also mentioned Cricket killing a neighbor's chickens and her family's goat, which she called "nasty and mean."
"I made a difficult choice," Noem said during the interview. "Would you make a choice between your children or a dangerous animal? And I think I would ask everybody in the country to put themselves in that situation."
When questioned about why she didn't take Cricket to a shelter, Noem stated that Cricket was a "working dog" and had come from a family that had issues with the dog. She emphasized that she took personal responsibility for the decision.
Noem's remarks have sparked controversy, with animal rights activists criticizing her actions. However, Noem remains firm in her defense, maintaining that her dog was not a puppy but a "working dog" and that she had to make a tough decision at the time.
