Summary

Aubrey Vanlandingham, a 17-year-old Texas student, was charged with animal cruelty after poisoning a classmate's show goat, Willie, with pesticide, allegedly because she "does not like cheaters."

Surveillance footage captured her force-feeding the goat with a syringe on October 23, leading to its death the following day.

Investigators found searches on her phone related to poisoning animals. The Texas Future Farmers of America condemned her actions, emphasizing ethical behavior and animal welfare.

Vanlandingham faces up to two years in jail and a $10,000 fine, with a court date set for January 15.

You've got to be a complete sociopath to do that to an animal. Force feeding it pesticide? You know it struggled because pesticide tastes like the poison it is. That poor animal suffered.

So I think we're all in agreement that that bitch is crazy

That is unkind to crazy people everywhere.

She's ready to vote Republican I see.

She's obviously cheating, so I have to cheat more to keep up!

I wonder where she got that from

Investigators found searches on her phone for how to poison pets, how much bleach is needed to kill an animal, and how to clear search history

Not only is that the exact opposite order those searches should have been made with*, that's an excellent way to both self-incriminate and demonstrate that she was fully aware that what she was doing was illegal.

*Any sane answer to "how do I hide my search history" is "you can't, and especially not from law enforcement," which should have been enough of an answer to stop and think about what you're doing.

The sane answer is you go to a public library or cyber cafe... Or use TOR?

This isn't legal advice and obviously I condemn this crime, just saying she was dumb 🤦🏻‍♀️

Don't start a monogamous relationship with a goat.

I think she deserves the same treatment she gave the goat. A truly evil person.
