I didn't care".<a href="#cite_note-Hartmann-299">[299]</a> When Noem then visited a local family, Cricket jumped off the truck, killed several of the family's chickens, then "whipped around to bite" Noem, who "dragged" Cricket to the truck and "threw her inside", while Cricket remained in a state of "pure joy".<a href="#cite_note-Hartmann-299">[299]</a> Noem wrote that she "hated that dog" and concluded that Cricket was "dangerous", "untrainable", and "less than worthless".<a href="#cite_note-Martin-297">[297]</a><a href="#cite_note-301">[301]</a> After shooting the dog dead in a <a href="/wiki/Gravel_pit" title="Gravel pit">gravel pit</a>, Noem decided to kill her family's male goat, which she said was "disgusting, musky, rancid", "nasty and mean", and "loved to chase" Noem's children.
