"best goat"
Goat Of All Time
Rip in peace poisoned goat of all time goat.
A GOAT goat, if you will?
The best part is that it's recursive, like GNU.
How do you even cheat with a goat? The whole thing is ridiculous.
projection
Poisoning the opposition goats, I think
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)
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.
Tell me you never attended a rural high school

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.
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
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.
To hazard a guess: simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know… morons.
farmers deserve better in this country. corporate takeovers, shitty media, and stripped education is making rural areas worse and worse each year
Hypothetically I agree, but it's also hard to feel a lot of sympathy knowing that farmers tend to enthusiastically vote for the politicians who then undermine farmers.
Roughly 1/3 of Farmers are also subsidized by the US government, but -to your point- they're also pretty easily swayed by dangling some social issue that gets them to vote against or for whatever- mostly as a result of being unable to divest themselves from the social and cognitive conditioning that comes from organized religion, which is still dense as bricks, in farm country.
glances at the politicians the people of NYC keep voting for
She's a psychopath. Sadly, I don't believe she'll change.
She'll never be able to get a job with this permanently on the internet. Who would ever trust her to do anything?
Clearly wasn't very successful xD
It feels like she was looking for a book called "poisoning pets for dummies"
the average american has essentially zero regard for the well-being of non-human animals, this is not surprising in the least.
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.
That indirectly still supports my argument.
Plenty support the owner class. The American owner class doesn’t want to pay to help. They’re still Americans either telling you to be selfish to feed their profits or voting for the people supporting individual selfishness. They may be stupid people, but they’re still keeping us from having nice things.
Meanwhile China is eating dogs. It's not an American thing, it's a people thing
How does it matter whether it's dogs or cows? Factory farming any animal is a great wrong we should leave behind us as quickly as we can.
Correct, which is why I said it's a people thing
New Game of Goats season is out, huh?

"offbeat" ?
A planned murder by a rival at a goat competition is not offbeat enough?
I thought you said off bleat!
As you do...
Texas teenager accused of using poison to kill rival's competition show GREATEST OF ALL TIME
Lol that's funney
the internet is deluged by news stories so please be careful with what you read about this. reports from the victim (girl)'s mother indicate the alleged killer was 2 years older than, and not friends with, the victim. it sounds like rivalry to me.
Is there a point to your comment..? It's only pretty rivalry, so let the sociopath walk? Is that what you're saying?
which of your questions do you want me to answer
Let's start with all.
no
How enlightening. Really stick to your guns, dontcha?
The classic "I'm too far above you to explain myself" defense after being backed into a corner by someone who is probably smarter than you
The pile of response you've left after saying this proves that was a lie.
pats head Sure. They outwit you constantly.
Lmfao
I can't help but notice it says all that in the headline
🤚
No shit? Like that wasn't patently obvious?
What point are you trying to make? This girl is a psychopath.
Read my original comment - that's the point I'm trying to make
