@@DavidLecorchickdepending on what you’re shooting there may not have been a lot of blood. Also, on large property it’s not such a difficult thing, you can throw wood chips or dirt over it.
If a child did this, they would be sent to therapy. The fact that a grown woman not only did it, but thinks it’s something to brag about, is absolutely bonkers.
Let's stop pulling punches and call it out for what it is: PSYCHOPATHY. Kristi Noem is a psychopath, and since the advent of Donald Trump, the condition pretty much seems to be a prerequisite for membership in the Republican party.
and she defends herself saying the PUPPY was a vicious dog. Cricket was a PUPPY not a vicious dog. He needed training and love not a bullet and hate! SHE is who maga is! Grateful for the clarity. Praying that Goodness does prevail.
I live in Germany. As I pulled into the grocery store parking lot this morning, I learned a German phrase I have never heard in 33 years of living here: Welpenmörderin. Puppy murderess.

@CarolEdmonds-pk7hr I hope so! There will be hoards who will try to justify her and unfortunately, a lot of people forget about this in a couple of months and the right will twist and change the story and create some lies about it or will deny it.
Not only killed but also bragged about it. And ... I am talking about a woman... I wonder whether she also ate the meat of the killed goat. She didn't describe though what she did with the dead corpses of the dog and the goat: buried, burnt, rendered? How did she sleep that night, when a family member is gone by her hands? Also, how it is easy to say, "I love hunting from my childhood." She is some dangerous basic instincts and God forbid she gets near the Oval Office to make war decisions on behalf of the country.
Governor Critter-Killer lost any possibility of credibility redemption when she included the line "I hate that dog!" You can't roll it back with "making tough choices" when you've already explicitly stated it was an act of Hate. 😡
Noem is a pyschopath. Adults deal with situations like this by either improving their dog training or rehoming the dog. And when Noem was shooting the dog, she realized that the goat missed charm school and killed him.

Don't get distracted by dogs! That's what Republicans want! Remember what really matters: how Republicans treat PEOPLE and the HUMAN deaths caused by Republicans!
At 14 months old, that dog was still in puppy mode!! If she couldn't handle the dog, there are shelters, other families that would adopt that dog as a pet, not a hunting dog, or have it trained to be a hunting dog!!! It doesn't come naturally, how to only point at the pheasants, they have to be taught, and she obviously didn't take the time to have that dog trained properly!!!!! Then she killed a billy goat, because it smelled.....well, trump better steer clear of her, because he's definitely "untrainable" for politics, and he smells awful, according to people around him!!!!

Training a pup requires love and patience, if you do it the right way, not with cruelty. Much like governing a country, one would hope. The fact that she put this dog in the too hard basket as not trainable shows she is absolutely not suited to governing anything at all.
Noem should be arrested for animal cruelty 🤬🤬. She projected her anger onto the poor animals and killed them. She is a psychopath. Thanks for your story, Mika.🙏🏼
Yes! This is the normal way to respond to a story like this. Normal, empathetic humans, across the board are horrified at any animals being unnecessarily hurt. Also, the normal response is for the human to recognize their errors and how they created the situation. Noam is evil.
If only aborted babies were alive today to tell their story. If only Joe Biden didn't put his dog to sleep maybe he could still be biting secret service agents. Wait a minute the left accused Donald Trump of assaulting secret service agents debunked by the secret service agents. Joe Biden let his dog regularly bite secret service agents and Joey stripped butt naked in the Obama White House on multiple occasions and physically sexually assaulted multiple female secret service agents and after that had the complaints deleted from the record when he was running for president and nothing happened m Joey admits to stealing top secret documents for over five decades on national TV then gets caught on audio tape selling it to his biography for 8 million dollars and his crooked head of the doj charges Donald Trump for Joe Biden's crimes. Typical cultural marxists always accusing others of things that they themselves are guilty of
doesnt she also attack Natives and the reservations? look I had a cat that got cancer and she was 16 usealy the type of cat she was doesnt live past 14 or 15. we took her to the vet one night and found out she wouldnt be able to have a good quality of life they gave us two options expensive medicine that would just more then likely pro long her suffering or we could put her down.. Trust me I cried like this little furry creature was our child. We made the hardest desicion and let the vet end her suffering I know we made the right choice but man even 5 years later is stings sometimes. I seen my grandpa put a dog down that was old couldnt walk couldnt eat and I never seen that man cry like he did that day the dog got bitten by a rattle snake and we had no 24 hr vet and the poor little guy just wouldnt survive. I say all this to say I cant imgainge them people like this this Noem lady not being even a little bit upset. I cant even watch the dang commercials with the poor animals who are being rescued with out tearing up. I just will never understand Hurting Animals and Children at all
Also: Mika did her research and knew more about the breed and the circumstances that may result from that than Gov. Noem about her OWN dog...Wow. That for me is the ultimate cruelty about this. What is up about dog owners not knowing what their breeding background is all about...Truly shocking.
Im a life long 60 year atheist and detest trump and his supporters. I beleive in treating others with kindness,help out any way we can and accept we are all different.
Fellow chicken & dog owner here. Love the Mika's been bit by the bird bug. We got Candy, a sweet new puppy - five months old and very shy and gentle. The day we brought her home from the Humane Society, she stepped out of the car and looked instantly bemused by the chickens free ranging around the yard. Within seconds she wriggled out of her harness - yes, she was leashed and in a harness! - and charged off into the thickest cluster of our girls, frantically slapping them with her paws and trying to catch one in her jaws. After darting around after her for a minute or so, I managed to catch her, scoop her up and bring her inside. I talked to her a long time - that I understood she's wired to chase those funny things, but they're her sisters and that's a no-no. That night, I went out with her and got a properly fitting harness and retractable leash. The next day we started a few weeks of training that I called "Chicken Zen". I'd take her out on a short leash to the coop yard. We plopped down on the ground right in the middle of the flock and I'd hold on to Candy, with my arm around her shoulders to gauge her reaction. Being naturally curious and social, the chickens eventually surrounded us, picking and scratching, and checking us out. Any time Candy started to get up, I'd hold her down and tell her no, then pat her when she calmed down. Any time I felt her start to prep to lunge, I'd hold her tight and tell her no, then pat her when she calmed down. Any time I'd feel her shoulders tighten, I'd give her a big backrub and tell her no. When she would finally calm all the way down and lay down, I'd tell her how good she was and give her a treat. Within a few days, she listened to my commands to leave them alone if she forgot and started to get excited. Within a couple of weeks, we could let her out amongst the chickens. Six years later, she still hangs with the flock and takes dust baths with them. Compassion can be taught, even to dogs. But you need to have it to teach it.
This people have no shame. That's why they can be so cruel. If you have a minimum of dignity you wouldn't do something like that and publish it on top of it.
"Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent" -Isaac Asimov Violence is initiated by those who oppress, who exploit, who fail to recognize others as people - not by those who are oppressed, exploited, and unrecognized.
Had a neighbor who had two dogs of terrier mixed with ? I warned her that her dogs were trying to dig under the steel fence I had put up. She threw loose dirt into the hole. Two days later I hear a ruckus in my chicken coop. Her dogs were in my chicken coop. Only one hen was damaged before I got out there and threw them out of the coop. I yelled for her to come get her dogs or I would drown them in my goldfish pond (I wouldn't but she didn't know that). Only one hen was hurt. part of her breast was torn open. I treated her and she outlived all of my other hens I had in that group. Her name was Effie. I now have Tanya and Tallulah, Australorp hens,; Uma and Ursula,: two barred rock hens and one little Production Blue hen named Veronica. My hens give us their eggs and then they live as retirees for the rest of their lives. My hens love me because I give them dried mealworms and bugs. I also have 4 dogs. Wendy and Surprise are my 16 year Tibetan Spaniels, they are from the same litter and two other small dogs who had a Chihuahua mother who seems to have had many other dogs. One looks like a wire-haired Wheaten Terrier ;and his littermate who looks like a Min Pin. Their names are Rico and Ponce. Spot the cat owns me. The dogs love him.
When I heard the Noem story about killing a puppy, my first thought was that she put that story in her book for an audience of one - Donald Trump. She desperately wants to be his pick for VP, and what better way to demonstrate to Trump that she is a person who is willing to do things any normal human being would refuse to do?
Indeed. Hitler was effective at genocide because he surrounded himself with people cruel and pathological as himself. She could be useful to her candidate.
@xabre9995 - Truth. I also think the statistic that 28% of the population feels that violence is necessary to keep political opponents in line is frightening, as well. What's also terrifying is that I think that 28% figure is low.
Thank you for sharing that story, it was powerful. Your presentation gave viewers who don't share similar experiences a better understanding of what her actions say about who this person really is.
Generally, most states, including South Dakota, have laws that protect animals from abuse and cruelty. Shouldn't she be in jail for that!?! So, if someone confess that killed other in the past... nothing happen?
Noem thinks she's tough and makes tough decisions and does what needs to be done, but actually shows that she blames everyone and everything but herself, has terrible judgement, and no understanding or willingness to try to understand why her dog or goat or whatever behaved as it did. Basically she's everything you don't want in a leader.
TBF, the cruelty wasn't the point. Noem was trying to claim that her executing these animals (poor Cricket in front of horrified construction workers) proves that she can make "tough" decisions, when it just showed that she's heartless and takes the easy way out when faced with challenges. "I hated that dog" and "worthless" when talking about a 14-month-old big puppy tells me all I need to know about Noem.
Mica, please, PLEASE share this story more widely because the important point is one that I haven’t heard yet: You accepting the responsibility for leaving the gate open because your dog was doing what it is natural for the dog to do. Why did those “friends” of hers not see that- and left their chickens accessible?! Something sounds ‘fishy’ about that….
Agree. I’ve trained two of my dogs to not attack chickens. I just make sure they understand chickens are a part of our pack. While holding the bird up tight, if the dog shows interest, our response is a stern “bahhh” and a dominance posture. Plus, I keep our flock in a fenced yard. Protects them from dogs, coyotes and bobcats.

She's the kind of gun nut whose kids turn out to be a psycho.
Everyone and their cat knows about this freak, no reporting needed, let's see if any of the radicals at peta or hsus actually DO anything
It's psychopath behavior. If a teenager acted like this you'd make sure they didn't have access to guns.
We can suspect about current behavior, , but Cricket might be past the statute of limitations
Mika has chickens…I now love her even more ❤❤❤❤❤
She sounds like a down South Republican now
I'm a parrot lover myself, and I ike all birds in general. But I must admit there's an endearing quality about people who can love a bird that's as dumb as a chicken.
Probably living a better life than you too😂
Donna, Gina, Pierre &. Bamba! 🐓 🤍
Absolutely! If you can be heartless when dealing with animals, it's a really short step to being heartless when dealing with people you consider unworthy.
The “P” in GOP? Psychopath.
The "G" is for Gun Nut!
DNC the N & C non coherent Brandon in charge
@annrodgers9948 Whatever. Talk a blunt non-sensical rambling. Listen, when ANY Democratic office holder, former or present, is indicted for making payments to an entity in to service criminal fraud, get back to me. As for murdering a defenseless puppy? Sorry, not sorry. The GOP Turd Reich has that spread covered.
Thank you so Very Much for Sharing this Story, Mrs. Brzezinski about Donna and Your Compassion and Wisdom!!
Wow, "Less than worthless." This is a Huge Red Flag re: her true personality. Sickeningly Horrific.
She literally went on a killing spree on her own farm, and bragged about it. Jfc.
When are the investigations going to start?
These people don't have a clue, What happened to the Republican Party.
Was eaten by trump 💀
They have let the far radical right take over. They need to move more toward the middle.
Those people were BS crazy before they joined the republican party. Next, trump had a secret meeting with Putin. Afterwards, DJT lied about the election being stolen. It's been downhill ever since.
They became a target for the biased media and the politically brainwashed left because Americans voted Trump in as president in 2016
@@Lovit-vk5fg yes, the are deviants who enjoy cruelty to other.
PETA needs to protest at her office
That was a powerful story
It makes the difference very clear.
A 2 year old with a gun!! That’s beyond horrible comprehension!!
This is animal cruelty, she should be brought up on charges.
Only a Republican could write something in a book, get a HUGE amount of backlash, and then blame the media. Unbelievable!
RIP Cricket😢
Trump commits a crime then blames the judge, the jury, democrats, the press, Biden, and Obama!😂😂😂
Yes! No shame as she gladly wrote about it like she was proud. It is deplorable!
Cricket was adorable. Noem is untrustworthy.
I have no words for such a terrible act. Than to brag about it, gives me chills. What kind of a person does that. There are so many other ways to handle this.
Glad to see another vegan here.
@@judithrochon7837 not sure what vegans have to do with someone killing a puppy....?? Unless you just want to say inflammatory things... or maybe you are from a country that eats dogs. Gross either way.
@@judithrochon7837 what's it like being a troll? Knowing you will never be anything else.....ever.
What kind of person does that? A Republican.
A psychopath!
Can you imagine how many PR people reviewed the story ... and still thought it would be a good idea?
That's the sign of a bigger problem.
I read that she wanted it in her first book but her team said NO. She insisted it be in the new book. Noem was that proud of her actions!!! That is her idea of leadership.
@@parrotmom56she exposed her true colors
Training a pup requires love and patience, if you do it the right way, not with cruelty. Much like governing a country, one would hope. The fact that she put this dog in the too hard basket as not trainable shows she is absolutely not suited to governing anything at all.
To say nothing of goat killed in her murderous rage. I can't stand the sight of this woman. Just looking at her face makes me sick to my stomach.
She had a shock collar on that poor puppy
Ty you for sharing your story Mika... you did what a caring and responsible adult would do
Been there done exactly that, not the dogs fault, but of course she can't accept SHE was at fault.
@@glennabaugh856 can you imagine how she treats her kids?
It's a cruelty fetish.
the whole maga party has a fetish for trump...
Noem should be arrested for animal cruelty 🤬🤬. She projected her anger onto the poor animals and killed them. She is a psychopath. Thanks for your story, Mika.🙏🏼
She is sick.
I will always stay away from people who don't like animals. They tell you right away who they are!
Lock Trump and Noem Up !
Watching these ladies listening to Mikas' horrible story was a breath taker.
Thank you, Mika, for not shooting your dog.
Yes! This is the normal way to respond to a story like this. Normal, empathetic humans, across the board are horrified at any animals being unnecessarily hurt. Also, the normal response is for the human to recognize their errors and how they created the situation.
Noam is evil.
Mika is a vegan!!
Mika is a liar and a charlatan
If only aborted babies were alive today to tell their story. If only Joe Biden didn't put his dog to sleep maybe he could still be biting secret service agents.
Wait a minute the left accused Donald Trump of assaulting secret service agents debunked by the secret service agents. Joe Biden let his dog regularly bite secret service agents and Joey stripped butt naked in the Obama White House on multiple occasions and physically sexually assaulted multiple female secret service agents and after that had the complaints deleted from the record when he was running for president and nothing happened m
Joey admits to stealing top secret documents for over five decades on national TV then gets caught on audio tape selling it to his biography for 8 million dollars and his crooked head of the doj charges Donald Trump for Joe Biden's crimes.
Typical cultural marxists always accusing others of things that they themselves are guilty of
doesnt she also attack Natives and the reservations? look I had a cat that got cancer and she was 16 usealy the type of cat she was doesnt live past 14 or 15. we took her to the vet one night and found out she wouldnt be able to have a good quality of life they gave us two options expensive medicine that would just more then likely pro long her suffering or we could put her down.. Trust me I cried like this little furry creature was our child. We made the hardest desicion and let the vet end her suffering I know we made the right choice but man even 5 years later is stings sometimes. I seen my grandpa put a dog down that was old couldnt walk couldnt eat and I never seen that man cry like he did that day the dog got bitten by a rattle snake and we had no 24 hr vet and the poor little guy just wouldnt survive. I say all this to say I cant imgainge them people like this this Noem lady not being even a little bit upset. I cant even watch the dang commercials with the poor animals who are being rescued with out tearing up. I just will never understand Hurting Animals and Children at all
Also: Mika did her research and knew more about the breed and the circumstances that may result from that than Gov. Noem about her OWN dog...Wow. That for me is the ultimate cruelty about this. What is up about dog owners not knowing what their breeding background is all about...Truly shocking.
ASPCA should investigate and prosecute.
The ungodliness it takes to impress Trump and his cult is just getting sicker by the day.
God didn't create dogs, goats and horses I guess!
Im a life long 60 year atheist and detest trump and his supporters. I beleive in treating others with kindness,help out any way we can and accept we are all different.
@@cherylj8720 your are right. It's about believing in respect and good intentions. That doesn't take a deity just humanity.
It’s ironic … I don’t even believe in god, yet the blasphemy of these people offends me. 🤷♂️
100 percent agree
I really appreciate this story to set the scene of a responsible pet owner versus animal cruelty.
Fellow chicken & dog owner here. Love the Mika's been bit by the bird bug.
We got Candy, a sweet new puppy - five months old and very shy and gentle. The day we brought her home from the Humane Society, she stepped out of the car and looked instantly bemused by the chickens free ranging around the yard. Within seconds she wriggled out of her harness - yes, she was leashed and in a harness! - and charged off into the thickest cluster of our girls, frantically slapping them with her paws and trying to catch one in her jaws.
After darting around after her for a minute or so, I managed to catch her, scoop her up and bring her inside. I talked to her a long time - that I understood she's wired to chase those funny things, but they're her sisters and that's a no-no. That night, I went out with her and got a properly fitting harness and retractable leash.
The next day we started a few weeks of training that I called "Chicken Zen". I'd take her out on a short leash to the coop yard. We plopped down on the ground right in the middle of the flock and I'd hold on to Candy, with my arm around her shoulders to gauge her reaction.
Being naturally curious and social, the chickens eventually surrounded us, picking and scratching, and checking us out.
Any time Candy started to get up, I'd hold her down and tell her no, then pat her when she calmed down. Any time I felt her start to prep to lunge, I'd hold her tight and tell her no, then pat her when she calmed down. Any time I'd feel her shoulders tighten, I'd give her a big backrub and tell her no. When she would finally calm all the way down and lay down, I'd tell her how good she was and give her a treat.
Within a few days, she listened to my commands to leave them alone if she forgot and started to get excited. Within a couple of weeks, we could let her out amongst the chickens. Six years later, she still hangs with the flock and takes dust baths with them.
Compassion can be taught, even to dogs. But you need to have it to teach it.
❤❤❤ They are all lucky to have you!!
Too bad compassion can't be taught to certain humans.
Thanks for sharing
Well said..
Rosemary, you are a remarkable woman! Thank you for demonstrating what a normal, empathetic human can do.
This people have no shame. That's why they can be so cruel. If you have a minimum of dignity you wouldn't do something like that and publish it on top of it.
MIKA...I adore your honesty. I've been there too 😢.
If my dog doesn't like you, I don't like you. Dogs are an excellent judge of character.
So true! I trust my dogs instincts!
YEPPER!!
So true,if my lab dislikes someone i trust her.
That is why dogs are a man`s best friend. I would be lost without my dog. They make excellent companions.
So are cats. They can tell you about people too.
Governor. What a joke! What a sick individual. Sick!
"Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent"
-Isaac Asimov
Violence is initiated by those who oppress, who exploit, who fail to recognize others as people - not by those who are oppressed, exploited, and unrecognized.
Yeah tell that to netanyahu
She couldn’t find anyone in South Dakota to adopt the pup? Something seriously wrong with her.
Had a neighbor who had two dogs of terrier mixed with ? I warned her that her dogs were trying to dig under the steel fence I had put up. She threw loose dirt into the hole. Two days later I hear a ruckus in my chicken coop. Her dogs were in my chicken coop. Only one hen was damaged before I got out there and threw them out of the coop. I yelled for her to come get her dogs or I would drown them in my goldfish pond (I wouldn't but she didn't know that). Only one hen was hurt. part of her breast was torn open. I treated her and she outlived all of my other hens I had in that group. Her name was Effie. I now have Tanya and Tallulah, Australorp hens,; Uma and Ursula,: two barred rock hens and one little Production Blue hen named Veronica. My hens give us their eggs and then they live as retirees for the rest of their lives. My hens love me because I give them dried mealworms and bugs. I also have 4 dogs. Wendy and Surprise are my 16 year Tibetan Spaniels, they are from the same litter and two other small dogs who had a Chihuahua mother who seems to have had many other dogs. One looks like a wire-haired Wheaten Terrier ;and his littermate who looks like a Min Pin. Their names are Rico and Ponce. Spot the cat owns me. The dogs love him.
Bad decisions aren't "tough" decisions.
Bad decision #1 - Killing the puppy unnecessarily. Bad decision #2 - Bragging about it.
When I heard the Noem story about killing a puppy, my first thought was that she put that story in her book for an audience of one - Donald Trump. She desperately wants to be his pick for VP, and what better way to demonstrate to Trump that she is a person who is willing to do things any normal human being would refuse to do?
Indeed. Hitler was effective at genocide because he surrounded himself with people cruel and pathological as himself. She could be useful to her candidate.
Sick and disgusting to do that to an innocent animal.
Good story, Mika. There's a difference between a person with dignity and a GOP maga thing.
Giggity 😌
Noem is one sick puppy who kills puppies.
Kristi Noem is one sick 🤢 Karen just like her sisters Marjorie Karen Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert.
To train an animal you have to know more than the animal.
Are you talking about Biden?
Reply of the day!!!!
Are you so ignorant you don't know who she is talking about? Bless your heart.
Exactly.
@@MochaMan. You're just butthurt because you found out you're not getting your Trump sneakers until September.😥😪
Trump's never had a pet for this reason, he's a very sadistic person.
They compete for attention and the wife doesn't insist on having one, like with Eric.
No, he wouldn't have a dog who attacked his staff over 40 times! He has more respect for them than Biden ever would 😮
Pet's can smell Evil!
Trump’s White House Pet was Kellyanne Conway . They couldn’t keep her off the furniture either
@brentkuehne435 Stop spreading lies - he didn't attack 40 times.
It is disgusting to see that she is proud of her action to even write about it. Can she still be charged with animal cruelty?
She is deranged
ARE THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE, PROTEST HER TO STEP DOWN?! WHY Isn't ANYONE PROTESTING!!!
Oddly so many think she is wonderful. I am definitely avoiding South Dakota. Forever.
Can people who call for violence in the name of political gains please look up the definition of Terrorism...
Idiots!!!!!!!
Is that you Bill Ayers?
@xabre9995 - Truth. I also think the statistic that 28% of the population feels that violence is necessary to keep political opponents in line is frightening, as well. What's also terrifying is that I think that 28% figure is low.
Said Bill Ayers
No 👎
Thank you for sharing that story, it was powerful. Your presentation gave viewers who don't share similar experiences a better understanding of what her actions say about who this person really is.
Generally, most states, including South Dakota, have laws that protect animals from abuse and cruelty. Shouldn't she be in jail for that!?! So, if someone confess that killed other in the past... nothing happen?
Apparently SD has a law that if an animal attacks a person or other animal, it can be put down. 😮
I believe this happened 20 years ago. Unfortunately, I doubt any charges will be brought.
yes is true, when you are corrupt and have millions in your bank account that usually happens (any charges will be brought)@@WabiSabiLady
She killed the dog for doing what it was trained to do???? I dont get it!!!
Like Trump? Does she know that he isn't house broken? She may be a threat to Stinky Don.
Wow! What would the old America say to this new America?
She’s an absolute beast she should be be charged for this
Noem thinks she's tough and makes tough decisions and does what needs to be done, but actually shows that she blames everyone and everything but herself, has terrible judgement, and no understanding or willingness to try to understand why her dog or goat or whatever behaved as it did. Basically she's everything you don't want in a leader.
TBF, the cruelty wasn't the point. Noem was trying to claim that her executing these animals (poor Cricket in front of horrified construction workers) proves that she can make "tough" decisions, when it just showed that she's heartless and takes the easy way out when faced with challenges. "I hated that dog" and "worthless" when talking about a 14-month-old big puppy tells me all I need to know about Noem.
These are people who call themselves Christian? 🤦🏻♀️
Mica, please, PLEASE share this story more widely because the important point is one that I haven’t heard yet: You accepting the responsibility for leaving the gate open because your dog was doing what it is natural for the dog to do. Why did those “friends” of hers not see that- and left their chickens accessible?! Something sounds ‘fishy’ about that….
Mika's story makes me love her even more.
How a person that's is so disturbing can be a governor ???
Evev worse she brag about it !!!
Vote Blue
Vote Democrat 💙💙💙
For democracy and decency
He shouldn’t have to worry about picking a VP he should be in jail!
Why haven't she been brought up on chargers yet? She confessed to killing this dog for no reason.
The Electro Shocker Collar is cruel too. Training using pain and fear is disturbing.
Agree. I’ve trained two of my dogs to not attack chickens.
I just make sure they understand chickens are a part of our pack. While holding the bird up tight, if the dog shows interest, our response is a stern “bahhh” and a dominance posture.
Plus, I keep our flock in a fenced yard. Protects them from dogs, coyotes and bobcats.
