She defended her decision
For her part, her governess Southern Dakota defended through a post on the X platform (formerly Twitter) the “difficult” decision she made. “We love animals, but difficult decisions like this are often made on a farm.

Trump’s running mate
Her name Noum is on the list of candidates being considered by Trump for the position of US vice president ahead of the November 5 presidential election, according to the Reuters news agency citing sources close to the Republican tycoon.
