Vet Who Bragged About Killing Cat Fights For Her License

She is really something
Warning... some of this post can be disturbing

The veterinarian who boasted that her “first bow kill” was a cat has wrapped up two days of fighting to keep her veterinary license.

The photo shows Lindsey holding up the cat, who still had an arrow through him and who might still have been alive when the picture was taken.

Dr. William Folger, a veterinarian arguing for the board, said the picture shows the cat was tense with flexed muscles, indicating he still exerted control over his body. Lindsey took the stand to counter this, but a former coworker agreed with the vet’s analysis.

Vet tech Karen Champion told the administrative judge overseeing the case that at the time of the Facebook post she overheard Lindsey talking to her boss and landlord who told her to “take care of the cat,” KVUE reports.

For those who don't know, this appears to be a neighbor's cat.

Similar to any child molester who chooses to work with kids.

7. She should minimally lose her license. I wonder who her "boss" was?

The article says her "boss and landlord" (one or two people?) told her to kill the cat but later "the clinic" fired her for it. There's more to this story-- she may not be the only one who needs punishment.
