Goat Of All Time

Rip in peace poisoned goat of all time goat.

[-] brygphilomena@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

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.

[-] TotalFat@lemmy.world 16 points 9 months ago

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)

Poisoning the opposition goats, I think

[-] magnetosphere@fedia.io 13 points 9 months ago

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.

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.

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.

[-] BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 15 points 9 months ago

She's a psychopath. Sadly, I don't believe she'll change.

[-] Aurolei@lemmy.world 23 points 9 months ago

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

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

“poisoning pets, what you should know”,

It feels like she was looking for a book called "poisoning pets for dummies"

[-] ElcaineVolta@kbin.melroy.org 12 points 9 months ago

the average american has essentially zero regard for the well-being of non-human animals, this is not surprising in the least.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 17 points 9 months ago

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.

Meanwhile China is eating dogs. It's not an American thing, it's a people thing

"offbeat" ?

[-] Hubi@feddit.org 4 points 9 months ago

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