Monday, Houston veterinarian Kristen Lindsey appeared in court to address the complaint against her, according to Lorris Jones with the State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners.
Lindsey is accused of killing a cat in 2015 and then bragging about it on Facebook. The social media post shows Lindsey holding up the cat by the arrow she shot it with. Along with the image of the dead cat, Lindsey posted “My first bow kill, LOL.” The State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners was in attendance at the court. Critics want the board to pull her veterinary license.

For a veterinarian this is an incredibly stupid move. Her f**kbook post should be reproduced and distributed to animal lovers in her business area. And her injured neighbor should sue her patoot for damages.
She is a SICKO. If it had been my cat (but mine are indoor only), I cannot account for my actions. My fury would fuel me into a beserker. This hag has no business being near animals. If she likes to kill so much, let her obtain employment at a slaughterhouse. Her story is totally unbelievable.
OMG this woman is utterly disgusting poor kitty!!! I PRAY the veterinary board PULLS her license NOW!!! this happened 2 years ago and she is still practicing!!! Hope she NEVER sees another beloved pet!!!!
“We shoot cats all the time on the ranch”
Then you are a monster. I can’t believe that you would brag about that.
If anyone harms my cat in any way they will pay a heavy, painful price.
Someone needs to make this evil b**** pay & pay for what she’s done.
There are a couple of threads circulating that address that very subject. Go find them and leave us alone...........
Shame on you. Anyone who could shoot an innocent cat is subhuman.
Maybe SHE should be shot with a bow & arrow. She deserves it.
I’m not buying it either. She’s a liar, too.
Killing a cat with a bow and arrow and proudly displaying it on FB kind of precludes any rational explanation. She’s a psycho.
They are doing you a favor by keeping down the snakes and mice and you repay them with death. You are just as sick as she is. If you don’t want them on your land, use a live trap and set them free off your precious ranch.
I read the entire article and it said she killed the cat a year ago in 2015. Following the incident, again according to the article, she was immediately fired by her clinic and has not worked since............
I can’t say the word to describe her, my mom would still wash my mouth out with soap.
I hope some day kitty karma catches up to her in the form of a lion or a tiger.
And I hope some day she meets Ceiling Cat and Bast, they send her along with that dentist that shot Basil the lion to Hades, where she has a Sisyphus like punishment of cleaning kitty litter boxes that never empty.
She killed a feral cat she believed was rabid, this is not a crime, nor is it cruelty... looks like a clean kill.
This is about peoples damned emotions not logic.
Posting it on social media is beyond stupid, not because you did anything wrong, but simply because you are going to have these idiots who think that every cat is their pet types going ape poop.
Killing an animal in and of itself is not “CRUELTY” as much as you love your little pet, end of the day they are an animal, and property.. you can indeed put a bullet in their brainpan at any point and not be engaging in cruelty.
Reminds me of my little Cheeto who disappeared about ten years ago.
I suspect it was a crazy neighbor who was living near me when lots of cats in the neighborhood were “disappearing.”
Ok as someone who lived out in the county, grew up with cats, likes cats, but has put cats down let me hit the cat lovers with reality:
Mr. puddings, your lovable house cat is a fierce predator. very nice if you want to reduce the number of moles and rats, but not so nice if you like songbirds and ground nesting birds.
Now if you watch a cat at work you will not be so enamored of them. They like to torture their prey and they enjoy it. Not like dogs at all, unless they have gotten to taste for sheep. Watch them torture a rat for 20 minutes and you will realize there is a bad side to all predators, humans included. (I personally detest rates and will kill on sight)
Wildfowl hunters will kill any cat they see, as cats will kill, for fun, any nesting bird they can find. Having raised a duck, they are very social creatures and suffer when Mr. puddings decided to kill their young, just for fun.
Now as to putting down Feral cats: My mom had a family of cats, male, female and kittens. A feral cat came around and decided to make the territory his own, which meant catching and killing each and every kitten, killing or driving off the male and then taking over the female and the territory.
Now the male of my moms family was an ex-feral cat and any time I had a rifle out it departed. Did not like guns. Yet it knew, somehow I was out to hunt its enemy. Came up to me and was all friendly while I waited rifle in hand and eventually shot the intruding cat. Was always my best buddy after that, any time I visited he would sit on me and purr and generally be a very nice lap cat. Was very fond of him. The ex Feral ones show a lot of character, there is a lot going on inside their heads.
Back to the arrow cat. From the article the exact reasons she dispatched him are not known. He could have been a Mr. Puddings that spent his leisure hours divesting the neighborhood of every living bird, such animals are by no means uncommon. Such a cat, choosing to live by the claw has no complaint when they are dispatched in kind. The picture says nothing, if I was sitting on a pile of dead rats I would have a smile on my face as well, my anti-rat world view started when my wife had a baby, all of a sudden such rodents became my mortal enemies, even though from observation I know rats are very social animals.
There is a lot to cats, they are interesting creatures and I have liked a lot of them, but folks wanting to destroy a persons livelihood when they do not know the larger picture are........well off as much as this women may be.
She reminds me of the sleazy vet who was boarding Zizu (my new kitten) for a local NJ cat rescue. He was up before the NJ veterinary licensing board for negligence in treating a lady’s rottie, resulting in its painful death. He had to take 20 hours of general surgery courses and pay a fine. He also is the supervising vet of a small NJ animal shelter which was written up in an expose of horrific conditions at the shelter-—no food or water for the animals, caked on feces on floors, contamination of water for the animals, etc. Finally, witnesses saw him take 5 kittens the rescue had taken off the street, put them in a box and take them to be euthanized.
We used to have tons of whippoorwills here in the spring, haven’t heard one for years. They nest on the ground. I think they disappeared with the rise in cats and feral cats. If you search for the decline in whippoorwills all sorts of theories come up.

Yup, where I live you can track the rifle and fall of various species by the populations of predators such as martins vs. squirrels, Cats vs. ground birds and Rabbits vs. foxes.
That said I think foxes, raccoons and opossums all have an effect on the ground bird populations.
Shooting “stray” Dogs and Cats (Penal Code 42.09 Animal Cruelty). Any person who shoots a non-livestock animal, which includes any stray or feral cat or dog, and a wild living creature previously captured, can be charged with a felony offense. Penal Code 42.092 of the State of Texas law states that a person must have the owner’s consent to kill the animal.
The problem is people just are idiots. Killing an animal in and of itself is not “Cruelty” if it was, every pork, beef, chicken and lamb processing plant would be shut down.
Secondly, I love my pets, but they are animals, they are property, they are not human beings... they are animals.. The reality is, any of you can legally put your animal down by a bullet to the brainpan at any time and you have not engaged in “Cruelty”.
The issue is this person killed what she felt was a feral rabid cat, the kill sure as hell looks like a very clean kill to me, so there is no way you can call it cruelty. The problem is she foolishly posted a photo of it on social media, so now every cat lover on the planet is just seeing their precious little pet dead instead of just a feral animal put down.
Sorry, but there is absolutely no cruelty in any of what was done. There are tons of cases of animal cruelty out there, but this case sure isn’t one of them, and its certifiably insane that there are folks trying to argue that it is.
