A teenage cheerleader in Texas 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 display of “jealousy,” according to an arrest affidavit and the goat’s owner.

Aubrey Vanlandingham, a 17-year-old senior who participated in competitive livestock shows with her own goat, reportedly confessed to deliberately poisoning the goat, Willy, on Oct. 23, according to the affidavit obtained by CBS Austin.

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, according to the footage.

Willy died less than a day later in his owner’s arms after he was wracked by convulsions and respiratory distress.

Damn. I hope she gets the same treatment.

I think this woman is clearly a psychopath... It wasn't like she just sniped this goat from a distance or something, she trapped it and force fed it poison while it was resisting...

There's a screw loose, and she is probably a threat to the people she will interact with for the rest of her life. Maybe not as extreme as murder, but if she kills living creatures to get back at people who wrong her, she will certainly use other forms of extreme passive aggression that flagrantly violate social norms and the law.
