Awful - Veterinarian Shot and Killed Neighbors Dog for Barking! Let's Get Her License Revoked

On December 13, 2017, Kelly Folse carried over a gun to her neighbor’s house and shot the fifteen-month-old American Bulldog named Bruiser who was contained in a fenced-in yard. His family rushed him to the Abadie Veterinarian Hospital (ironically the same hospital Folse worked at), where he sadly died as a result of the shooting. Folse was not involved in the care of Bruiser at the hospital.

Thankfully, the hospital fired Folse and she was arrested on charges of aggravated animal cruelty, illegal discharge of a weapon, and two drug offenses for prescription narcotics found in her house without a prescription. Folse’s reasoning for shooting and killing the dog? He was barking.

This shocking display of violence shows that Folse is not only unstable, but demonstrates a complete disregard for animal life, and she does not deserve the title of veterinarian and should have her license revoked. A petition on Care2 has been written to do just that. Please take a moment to sign the petition.

my reaction would not be good, at best. She should definately lose her license.

except the killer wasn't a vet. It is devastating to think of your furbaby playing in his/her own yard and being viciously shot. I will definitely sign.

You may remember the first dirtbag lived in Texas, where she killed a neighbor's cat with her bow and arrow, and had her photo taken as she held the arrow aloft with the dead cat's body hanging from it. She was terminated.




Bruiser's human, Stacey Fitzner.
