Wasnt the dog still being trained as a hunting dog, for pheasants or other wild fowl? Only a few months old? Weren't the chickens in an environment the dog wasnt used to?

Seems like a failure of the person training them, not of the dog itself. Both a failure in training as well as in keeping them properly secured in a situation that could have proved dangerous.

Yup. Exactly. Sooooo many steps between young birddog overdoing it and shooting the dog in the head.

Apparently though, it's an open secret in South Dakota politics that she basically rage-quit and shot the dog because it embarrassed her and she's volatile and awful, and the work crew she mentioned (really safe choice, btw) all saw it. This may have been the best possible spin she could put on it, which is... disturbing.

When someone like that suddenly takes center stage in conservative politics, you know you're dealing with a uniquely shitty person
