      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.

    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.

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

    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.

                  The pile of response you’ve left after saying this proves that was a lie.

                  and I don’t match energy with fools

          Your original comment is unclear or unnecessary, I think that’s why people are confused.

            Are you confused about the point I was making?

            I don’t think any of the folks who responded are; it’s mostly angry noise from people who need to share an opinion but haven’t researched any current events sufficiently to provide one. It’s what I call “dogpiling” where they jump into a discussion which starts with critique even if they don’t agree with (or understand) it because the act of sharing their opinion is more important than learning anything. Your comment is similar, but I’m sure you can see that now. :)

            Anyway, I won’t waste any more time educating you folks. My point is the first sentence of my original comment. If reading comprehension is the issue here maybe you could reach out to your educational institution for a refund, assuming you paid for it.

                You’ve neatly demonstrated exactly what I was talking about; dogpiling, lack of understanding about the issue, and a need to share an opinion without contributing anything to the discussion or your inadequate education. I’m sorry but I’m out of volunteer hours and you can’t afford my rate. Have a day. 🫱
