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.
A GOAT goat, if you will?
The best part is that it's recursive, like GNU.
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.
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, no matter what.

How do you even cheat with a goat?
Poisoning the opposition goats, I think
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.
I severely hope the best goat is the one that commits the most crimes at the fair.
Tell me you never attended a rural high school
They have merch
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
Why do I find out about these things just after Christmas? Birthday it is, then!
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
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.
The number one reported crime shown on the public police blotter site in the small town I used to live in was motherfuckers shooting their dogs.
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.
farmers deserve better in this country. corporate takeovers, shitty media, and stripped education is making rural areas worse and worse each year
She's a psychopath. Sadly, I don't believe she'll change.
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
“poisoning pets, what you should know”,
It feels like she was looking for a book called "poisoning pets for dummies"
the average american has essentially zero regard for the well-being of non-human animals, this is not surprising in the least.
They aren’t so good about the well-being of their fellow humans, either. Think of all the things other civilized countries have that we don’t because people don’t want to pay for anything that doesn’t benefit themselves and only themselves.
New Game of Goats season is out, huh?

"offbeat" ?
A planned murder by a rival at a goat competition is not offbeat enough?
