Texas cheerleader, 17, is charged with animal cruelty for 'poisoning her rival's show goat'
Daily Mail UK ^ | 12/31/2025

Pretty and popular, Aubrey Vanlandingham had the world at her feet as she progressed through high school in a well-to-do suburb of Austin, Texas.

Not only was she a cheerleader, but she had also just been made president of the school's Future Farmers of America.

And she was particularly proud of her pet goat, Lacey, which she paraded in animal shows across the state for cash prizes and certificates.

The 17-year-old posted her beloved pet on her social media, with now-deleted posts seen by DailyMail.com detailing her excitement to head up Vista Ridge High School's FFA in Cedar Park, in her senior year.

But, prosecutors claim, her desire to win got too much for the teen, and she turned to evil ways to ensure victory – by poisoning a fellow student's goat.

Vanlandingham is facing the prospect of up to two years in prison if convicted of poisoning six-month-old Willy twice over a three-day period, eventually killing him.

The brazen teenager showed no remorse when authorities launched a probe, allegedly telling cops: 'I don't like cheaters' when questioned.

Police say that security footage shows the student returning twice to the crime scene, where she allegedly recorded and photographed the dying animal, sending videos to the mother of Willie’s owner.


How do you interpret that?

How does someone cheat at a farm show? I’m sure it’s possible; I’m just not familiar with the process.

Obviously she thought her rival had cheated.

Apparently she wanted to get caught.

What a twisted, evil little shit. She is also going to have thunder thighs and hips at 40 something.

Anyone cruel to animals has zero conscience and would kill you where you stand for nothing then somehow justify it.

Psycho kid. The only good thing of this is she has exposed herself and the minor protection thing is out of the bag.
