Texas HS cheerleader Aubrey Vanlandingham (17) is facing felony charges after allegedly using pesticide to poison and kill a rival’s competitive show goat at their high school in an ugly show of “jealousy.” [The word should be "envy.]"

Security footage obtained by police showed a female student at the Vista Ridge High School’s barn facility using a drench gun to force-feed Willy a toxic pesticide. The 6-month-old goat didn’t go easy and tried to escape, but was ultimately trapped and forced to drink the pesticide.

Vanlandingham was arrested on 22 Nov and charged with cruelty to livestock animals, a felony in Texas. She was released the same day on a $5,000 bond.

If convicted, Vanlandingham could face up to two years in prison. She has been banned from attending her high school while the case is ongoing and her next court appearance is 15 Jan 2025.

Below is a screenshot from a past Texas State Fair.




Williamson County has a population of 609,017 people; median household income = $110,415.00


Unbelievably, this young lady flushed her life away and painfully killed an innocent and defenseless animal. Instead of state college, Aubrey Vanlandingham is looking at state prison. After Aubrey is released, what university would accept her, who would marry her, and who would ever hire her-- the internet and her reputation are forever.

Migrants are a threat to the Lone Star State?




All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
