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.”

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.

    “The teen said that the student taking care of the goat was a “cheater” and that she “does not like cheaters.” She did not detail how she believed the competitor was cheating.”

    So she punishes the innocent animal of course.
