AUBREY LAYNE VANLANDINGHAM accused of fatally poisoning her rival’s show goat

Updated: Dec 31, 2024

- Texas, USA -


A 17-year-old student at Vista Ridge High School, AUBREY LAYNE VANLANDINGHAM (pictured), president of Vista Ridge High School's Future Farmers of America (FFA) program, is facing felony charges after killing another student’s show goat at the school’s barn.


The senseless death of the six-month-old goat, named Willy, happened in October 2024, and was triggered by VANLANDINGHAM’s jealousy. VANLANDINGHAM accuses Willy’s family of being “cheaters” in livestock competitions.


Security footage at the school’s barn stamped October 23, 2024, obtained by the Cedar Park Police Department, showed a female student, later identified as VANLANDINGHAM, getting into Willy’s pen, straddling him, and forcing a syringe of a toxic pesticide into Willy’s mouth three times. Willy attempted to escape but VANLANDINGHAM used the syringe two more times. Footage went on to show VANLANDINGHAM leaving the barn and going back twice to take pictures of Willy.


That very day, the 15-year-old daughter of Willy’s family, told her mother that Willy was “shaking or convulsing and not acting right”, so the mother took him to the vet. The vet, however, was unable to figure out what was happening.


The following day, October 24, 2024, the 15-year-old girl heard Willy in the barn “bellowing in pain” and rushed to him, but he sadly passed away in her arms.


A caprine pathologist performed a necropsy and results confirmed that the cause of death was due to organophosphate intoxication from phosmet.


Following an investigation into Willy’s death, Cedar Park Police arrested VANLANDINGHAM on November 22, 2024. She confessed to deliberately poisoning Willy. VANLANDINGHAM was charged with one felony count of cruelty to livestock, which could lead to up to two years in prison.

She was released from the Williamson County Jail the same day of her arrest after posting a $5,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on January 15, 2024, at 9: 00 a.m.


VANLANDINGHAM has been banned from attending Vista Ridge High School while the legal proceedings are underway.


I reached out to Ms. Crestina Hardie, Leander ISD Chief Communications Officer and she kindly provided me with the following statement that the districted issued on December 6, 2024:


“Leander ISD is proud of its nationally recognized FFA program and saddened to hear of the loss of one of its livestock. In October, a goat died in the Vista Ridge High School Ag Barn. After law enforcement was notified, the district cooperated fully with the Cedar Park Police Department investigation. Upon signing a facilities use agreement, students in the program are provided badge access in order to check on animals outside of normal hours of operation. The district believes the security measures in place, including surveillance footage as well as routine supervision by agriculture science teachers, provided the evidence law enforcement needed to complete the investigation. While the district cannot comment on the status of the student, disciplinary action was taken consistent with policy and procedures. The district is grateful for the leadership at Vista Ridge HS for providing thoughtfulness and care for the community of students impacted by the event.”


I doubt VANLANDINGHAM will spend time behind bars. She is insane and I fear this is only the beginning…..

TERRENCE ANDRE CROWDER found guilty – Three of the animals in his care were in extremely poor health

- Florida, USA -


Bill Gladson, Florida Fifth Judicial Circuit State Attorney, announced that on November 7, 2023, inside the courtroom of the Honorable Judge Peter Brigham, jurors found 62-years-old TERRENCE ANDRE CROWDER (pictured), guilty of one felony and two misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty.


The verdict was the result of “a thorough presentation of compelling evidence and expert subject matter testimony”, stated a press release by the State’s Attorney’s Office.


In July 2022, Marion County Animal Control Compliance Investigators responded to CROWDER’s property after receiving reports of animal negligence. The Marion County Sheriff’s Office was also called in for assistance.


From CROWDER’s property, officials removed thirteen (13) animals. Among them were a goat, a mare, and a miniature pony who were found in “appalling and negligent conditions”, stated the release.

The State’s Attorney’s Office identified the miniature pony as Shakira and the mare as Haling’s Darling.

According to the release, Shakira “had ‘elf shoe’ hooves from lack of care, which is extremely painful. All four hooves were also found to be infected with thrush.”

Haling’s Darling was extremely emaciated to the point that her ribs were showing.

As for the goat, he/she had an open, chronic wound on his/her back “that had been left untreated for quite some time – the wound was not only very tender to the touch but had calloused over.”


CROWDER, of Ocala, was subsequently arrested on August 20, 2022, and released on August 26, 2022, after posting bond.


State Attorney Gladson said in a statement: “𝘾𝙧𝙤𝙬𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙡𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙡𝙮 𝙙𝙚𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢 𝙤𝙛 𝙗𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙘 𝙣𝙚𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙨 – 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙛𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙬𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙤 𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙦𝙪𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙨𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙢𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙚. 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙠𝙛𝙪𝙡𝙡𝙮, 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙟𝙪𝙧𝙤𝙧𝙨 𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙚𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙖 𝙩𝙚𝙭𝙩𝙗𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙚𝙭𝙖𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙡 𝙘𝙧𝙪𝙚𝙡𝙩𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙙 𝘾𝙧𝙤𝙬𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙘𝙧𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙨. 𝙈𝙮 𝙤𝙛𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙖𝙜𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙮 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙨𝙚𝙘𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙡 𝙘𝙧𝙪𝙚𝙡𝙩𝙮 𝙘𝙖𝙨𝙚𝙨, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙄 𝙖𝙢 𝙚𝙭𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙡𝙮 𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙫𝙤𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠 𝙤𝙛 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙡 𝘾𝙧𝙪𝙚𝙡𝙩𝙮 𝙏𝙖𝙨𝙠𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙘𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙨.”


Online arrest records show that CROWDER is in custody awaiting sentencing.

His sentencing hearing will be scheduled at a later time.


It’s not good enough for me that this despicable individual was found guilty. I have never made it a secret that I believe that animal abusers should be hung from a tree and left hanging until the expiration of their useless and pathetic life!

I would love to see CROWDER’s cell covered in the same shit that those Voiceless Victims were living in. Furthermore, I would love to see him drinking the same filthy water from the same broken, rusty, bathtub shown in one of the pictures!

LORRAINE A. ROSE arrested after several farm animals were found on her property in grave condition

- New York, USA -


On May 9, 2023, New York State Police in Herkimer responded to a property on 3403 Military Road in the town of Norway to assist an Animal Cruelty Officer with an animal hoarding/abuse case.


In a news release, police said that a search of the property led to the discovery of “several goats, donkeys, and cows not being properly cared for and in grave condition.”

According to News Channel 2, five goats were sadly found deceased.


Police arrested 60-years-old LORRAINE A. ROSE who rents a camper on the property.


News Channel 2 reports that the owner of the property contacted New York State Police with concerns about the number of animals ROSE had at the property.

Investigators believe that ROSE “was attempting to care for the animals and became overwhelmed.”

As a result, ROSE voluntarily surrendered over eighty (80) goats to Pause 4 All Paws Rescue.


Police said ROSE was charged with five counts of overdriving, torturing and injuring animals for failure to provide proper sustenance under New York State Agriculture and Markets Law.


The investigation is ongoing.


Pause 4 All Paws Rescue is in need of donations. If you wish and can afford to help, please click here. Thank you!
