South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, who is considered a potential contender for the vice presidential spot on a future Trump ticket, has come under scrutiny for defending the killing of a dog on her family farm.
The incident in question occurred when a dog that had bitten one of Noem's children was put down by a veterinarian at the family's farm. Noem defended the decision, stating that the dog had displayed aggressive behavior and posed a threat to her family.
