What else is new? Conservatives rush to defend cat-killing veterinarian [View all]

I'm sure by now everyone has heard about Kristin Lindsey, the veterinarian who shot a neighborhood cat through the head with a bow and arrow and then bragged about it on Facebook. Everyone with at least half a brain knows it was a horrible thing to do. Countless people have spoken out against her horrific actions, including liberals and "the mainstream media."

That's when conservatives HAVE to take the opposite stance. Just like with every other major headline, whatever most sane people agree with, the wacky right wingers feel compelled to be different. (See: George Zimmerman, global warming, Bundy ranch, etc.)

"If she had just had an abortion and was holding up the dead fetus, some of these same people would have been cheering her on." 339 votes

"Who cares, If it was in her yard it is fair game. If the owners have a problem with it they can keep the cat at home or on a leash just like a dog." 259 votes

"Texas is an open range state, if it was on her property so be it, I will be more than glad to use her veterinarian services any time, but would never use the clinic she was fired from if I lived in the area."
