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.
Damn Americans and their rolls dice corrupt show animal handling
