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.
Fucked up hillbillies poisoning each other's animals is normal? Damn it america

New Game of Goats season is out, huh?
killed a 15 yo's sweet lil animal friend over some stupid competition. i hope she gets at least the full two years. sick and twisted. makes me wonder what her parents are like.
To hazard a guess: simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know… morons.

She's a psychopath. Sadly, I don't believe she'll change.

imagine going to jail because you just couldn't stand the thought of not having the "best goat," whatever the fuck that means. and no, if you know what that means, don't tell me--i refuse to have that information wasting space in my brain
"best goat"
Goat Of All Time
Rip in peace poisoned goat of all time goat.
I severely hope the best goat is the one that commits the most crimes at the fair.
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)
Steroids, perhaps? Do they judge how hard a goat can headbutt things? I don’t friggin’ know. Never mind.
being in america, it's apparent that there are a large number of people (especially in red states) for whom part of the strategy is to accuse everyone else of cheating, all the time, no matter what.

They have merch
Why do I find out about these things just after Christmas? Birthday it is, then!
just as absurd as all the other bullshit animal contests that judge "contestants" based on completely arbitrary physical characteristics which lead to severely inbred, sick, miserable animals
people are so fucking stupid
