Cricket knew (or I love Jared Moskowitz)

Mockler: So your theory, first of all, is that Cricket walked in on Bryon Noem in the act, saw too much, and that’s why Cricket had to meet this unfortunate, tragic ending?

Moskowitz: Dogs know all our secrets. Cricket knew.

Killed because he smelled bad.

Her family, she writes, also owned a male goat that was “nasty and mean”, because it had not been castrated. Furthermore, the goat smelled “disgusting, musky, rancid” and “loved to chase” Noem’s children, knocking them down and ruining their clothes.

Noem decided to kill the unnamed goat the same way she had just killed Cricket the dog. But though she “dragged him to a gravel pit”, the goat jumped as she shot and therefore survived the wound. Noem says she went back to her truck, retrieved another shell, then “hurried back to the gravel pit and put him down”.
