Summary
Aubrey Vanlandingham, a 17-year-old Texas student, was charged with animal cruelty after poisoning a classmate’s show goat, Willie, with pesticide, allegedly because she “does not like cheaters.”
Surveillance footage captured her force-feeding the goat with a syringe on October 23, leading to its death the following day.
Investigators found searches on her phone related to poisoning animals. The Texas Future Farmers of America condemned her actions, emphasizing ethical behavior and animal welfare.
Vanlandingham faces up to two years in jail and a $10,000 fine, with a court date set for January 15.
“Investigators found searches on her phone for how to poison pets, how much bleach is needed to kill an animal, and how to clear search history,” clearly didn’t learn anything from that last search.
I gotta imagine that level of search would likely only yield results that will dupe family or technologically illiterate police. Any investigator with half a brain would be able to figure out the searches.
Searches are held at both ends.
You can clear your search history, you can’t clear Google’s.
You can clear your search history, you can’t clear Google’s.
And that’s why I use Bing. Checkmate!
You can delete your google search history:

They implemented these controls worldwide when GDPR went into effect.
You can also set it to not save at all in the same menu, or set it to auto delete after a set period.
So they say.
I’m sure they’ve already passed the data along to 5 eyes to save on their servers.
Did a random teenager in Texas know that?
Based on them having her search history about committing a crime, I assume not.
ISP still has it
Google is https only. All data sent to the site will be encrypted.
There isn’t anyway for an ISP to capture search data from it.
I stand corrected.
A serious suggestion would be duckduckgo and a vpn
DuckDuckGo works with tor as an onion service as well. Pretty great
Onion service?
You can use DDG anonymously with the Tor Browser.
If you use Tor Browser, you dont need to clear the other end
That’s fair. I know there are cases where cops will say they didn’t find anything but only because they only looked at Internet Explorer.
How trumpian of her
Future AG material.
Maybe Department of Agriculture depending on her position on child labor

She’s a child you fucking creep.
She’s 17. That’s definitely a child when it comes to relationships or physical intimacy with another person, etc. But that’s also very close to conscription age, especially when it comes to poisoning animals
Right, the above comment was purely sexualizing her, though. No one was arguing that she shouldn’t be tried as an adult.
What is that supposed to mean?
It means that account is yet another fucking turfing political propaganda account, if it’s not actually a bot, or else it’s a normal person who thinks so closely to propaganda accounts or AI bots that they functionally might as well be one. That said, I responded to them too so I guess they win this round? 🤷♂️ *jerking hand motion *
I wonder what cheating in particular this twit was even talking about. The article doesn’t say. I don’t know how you can cheat in… Goats? IDK I’m not a redneck. Maybe the victim was dating the culprit’s cousin and cheated on them or something? People can be fucking dumb.
FFA and 4H have rules regarding the raising of show livestock that basically boil down to “you gotta take care of the animal.”
You’re not allowed to bring in help outside of your immediate family, you’re not allowed to “excessively” engage consultants, which is generally anything outside of the normal education you’d receive going through that program. And there’s a bunch of rules for where and how you house the animal. Several of which are in place to ensure that you cannot send it off to someone to train or care for it for any length of time.
There’s a significant amount of money on the line. These animals go to auction, and while it’s not typical, especially not for goats, they can bring in 6 figures. College educations are frequently paid for by these auctions. For a lot of kids that’s the plan.
So cheating happens.
My neighbor’s daughter just let a pregnant pig die in birth because she was too stupid and incompetent to check on it during labor for 4 hours
They’re out 1600 bucks and have to get another one or they’re not gonna get the 4H certification or whatever
I’m very tempted to see if I can report them as such complete failures that they shouldn’t ever be given another chance. Because they are, and shouldn’t ever be allowed animal ownership
So she became the very thing she hates. 😔
You either live long enough to become the villain or poison a goat and still become the villain because you were always the villain.
That mugshot suggests that she can’t shut the fuck up.
“She left the barn but not before returning twice a day to take photos and a video, according to the Statesman.”
I mean… probably before too.
I kinda want her to get the full two years, but jail doesn’t cure stupid.
She a minor, first time offender, and a white woman. If she doesn’t get a light tap on the wrist I’ll be surprised.
She’s not a minor. Not in TX. 17 is tried as an adult for criminal offenses.
Unless she said “you’re next” within the cops hearing. That’s terrorism charges, boys!

Stupidity is not the problem here.
But what about her future?!? She could be a State Governor, or Homeland Security Secretary, we have to protect her!
How was the goat cheating?
“The teen said that the student taking care of the goat was a “cheater” and that she “does not like cheaters.” She did not detail how she believed the competitor was cheating.”
So she punishes the innocent animal of course.
Hmm. What does this vague victimization remind me of?

So it will die either way, but it died sooner here and, giving benefit of the doubt to the farm 's normal practices, “this” death was anything but humane from the sound of it.
Nah if you own one, it’s akin to a pet.
Maybe she just sucked at mario kart

Yeah I’m confused. You don’t get to be the Greatest Of All Time by cheating
I read this as she cheated on her lover by sleeping with someone else.
Future MAGA farmers of America.
Exactly. The TeKKKsas GQP is gonna be on her faster than her parole officer.
I feel sorry for her future boyfriend, rip.
Sorry to be not serious for a bit. Serious posters with actual important things to say. I’m gonna get some stupid thrill from making fun of her name. I know her name is Aubrey; let’s pretend it’s something else.
Hi. I’m Amanda! Amanda “Mandy” Candace “Candy” Van Landingham. I’m gonna sing my favorite number, “Black Betty (Bam-ba-lam)”.
