« il fallait le faire » : la potentielle vice-présidente de trump raconte avoir tué son chien et fait polémique

«Ã‚ Il fallait le faire » : la potentielle vice-présidente de Trump raconte avoir tué son chien et fait polémique

La potentielle vice-présidente de Donald Trump, Kristi Noem, la gouverneure du Dakota du Sud, fait campagne à travers un livre qui sera publié le 7 mai prochain, intitulé « No Going Back : The Truth on What’s Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward » (Pas de retour en arrière : la vérité sur ce qui ne va pas en politique et comment nous faisons avancer l’Amérique, NDLR). Dans ses mémoires, consultés en avant-première par le Guardian, elle explique le jour où elle a tué sa chienne, Cricket. L’animal, une femelle braque, était à peine âgée d’un an.

Elle justifie son geste en raison de la « personnalité agressive » de l’animal, rapporte le journal britannique. La chienne était tout simplement mal éduquée. Pour y remédier, Kristi Noem a décidé de l’emmener à la chasse au faisan avec des chiens plus âgés. Mais Cricket en avait décidé autrement et s’est soudainement montrée « folle d’excitation, chassant tous les oiseaux ».

Kristi Noem explique avoir fait usage d’un collier électrique pour tenter de maîtriser son chien, sans que cela ne fonctionne. Cricket s’est même enfui de son camion pour attaquer les poulets d’une famille voisine. « Elle attrapait un poulet à la fois, le croquant à mort d’une seule bouchée, puis le laissait tomber pour en attaquer un autre », détaille-t-elle. Kristi Noem compare son chien à un « assassin » qui s’est ensuite mis à la mordre.

Elle l’aurait ensuite amené dans une gravière afin de lui tirer dessus. La potentielle vice-présidente explique : « Je détestais cette chienne ».

« C’est dégoûtant »

Cette déclaration a provoqué de nombreuses réactions aux Etats-Unis. Ryan Busse, le candidat démocrate au poste de gouverneur du Montana, a déclaré que « quiconque a déjà possédé un chien de chasse sait à quel point c’est dégoûtant, paresseux et diabolique. Maudit soit-il ». Tommy Vietor, ancien porte-parole de Barack Obama a même comparé Kristi Noem à Jeffrey Dahmer, un tueur en série américain surnommé « le cannibale de Milwaukee ».

Face aux réactions, Kristi Noem a précisé sur X qu’elle avait également dû « abattre trois chevaux » qui étaient dans la famille « depuis 25 ans », tout en assurant « aimer les animaux ». « Mais des décisions comme celle-ci surviennent tout le temps dans une ferme ».
