Hard disagree. I'd point you to Susano's post, but I feel like throwing in my two cents, so here goes.
I've been rural my entire life and lived on and around farms the entire time and what you're describing is absolutely not normal. The only people I know who would do such a thing are the guys on the farm about a mile from where I am, and they've had the cops called on them multiple times for animal cruelty. I won't go into details, but they bought dogs specifically to kill their overbred, out-of-control populations among other things. Those are the people I know who would do this kind of thing.
Noem's dog clearly had a high prey drive, which means she had a few options:
1. Train the dog to control its prey drive and perform the job she wants it to do. It was only a year old, so still quite malleable.
2. Rehome the dog or give it to a rescue. A purebred pointer would've certainly been adoptable, even if only as a pet.
3. Keep at as a pet, not a hunting dog.
4. Blow its brains out and then kill off any other animals that annoy you.
