    Vanlandingham confessed to police that she deliberately poisoned the goat because she believed the animal’s owner was “a cheater”

    How do you even cheat with a goat? The whole thing is ridiculous.

    I'm not saying they're all the same, but 100% of the Vanlandingham's I have met in Texas have been rotten to the core. Real sociopaths. Smiling and friendly all while planting a knife in your back. And yes there's more than one example in my weird little anecdote. They eat their own children! (figuratively)

    One time, we all got hauled out to someone's farm, for ag class, to watch pigs get castrated. A student was handling all the procedures until they got to the the likely prize show pig another student owned. The teachers husband took over and preformed the procedure. That likely prize pig, and only that pig, died that day. Rumor had it, that he purposefully botched the procedure so his own kid could win.

    Im just sitting here wondering why this is making the rounds, except for this girl got caught. This is the par for the course and happens more often than one would think.

    The show world can get super competitive. If you end up with a prize animal, you can bring home a good amount of money from auction.

    Not to mention, for some, its very personal due to the time invested. These kids can put sometimes up to a year, if not more, into raising an animal for a show. They feed them special and care for them in very serious ways, to make them look perfect for a show. It's like beauty pagent moms, but with kid brains.

    I feel like there is a line somewhere between sabotaging your competition to get ahead on this year competition and doing something to end the competition career of your adversaries.

    To hazard a guess: simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know… morons.

    Investigators who searched her phone history found that she had searched “how much bleach can kill an animal” and “poisoning pets, what you should know”, People reported. She also allegedly searched “how to clear search history”.

    Clearly wasn't very successful xD

    the average american has essentially zero regard for the well-being of non-human animals, this is not surprising in the least.
