A 17-year-old girl is accused of killing a goat belonging to a rival due to feelings of jealousy.

In a small town in Texas, a 17-year-old girl named Aubrey Vanlandingham has found herself in a troubling situation. She is facing felony charges for animal cruelty after allegedly harming a fellow student's pet goat. It all started with a case of jealousy that led to a tragic outcome.

Aubrey, a high school cheerleader, was known for participating in livestock shows with her own goat. However, when another girl at her school also began competing in these shows, Aubrey's envy took over. According to an affidavit, she deliberately killed the other girl's pet goat, a six-month-old named Willy, by forcing it to drink pesticide.

The incident took place at the barn facility of Vista Ridge High School, where both girls attended. It was captured on CCTV footage, which showed Aubrey trapping the goat and using a drench gun to administer the pesticide. She then returned to the barn two more times before finally calling the other girl's mother to inform her of Willy's condition.

Sadly, Willy suffered from convulsions and breathing problems before passing away the next day in his owner's arms. Aubrey initially denied any involvement in the incident, but eventually confessed when confronted with the evidence. The reason she gave for her actions was that she "doesn't like cheaters," referring to the other girl and her family.

Further investigation revealed that Aubrey had searched for information on killing goats and poisoning pets on the internet. This, along with her confession, led to her being charged with felony animal cruelty. As a result, she could face up to two years in jail and a fine of $10,000.

It's a sad situation for everyone involved, especially for the girl who lost her beloved pet. Both girls were members of the Future Farmers of America, where students compete for prizes such as scholarships and cash prizes. The competition can be intense, but it's never worth harming an innocent animal.

Aubrey has not yet entered a plea and is scheduled to appear in court on January 15. It's a harsh lesson for her to learn at such a young age, and hopefully, she will take responsibility for her actions and make amends for the harm she caused.
