She lied about the rabies so what makes you think she's telling the truth about the fleas? Once a liar, always a liar.........
Your view of cats is simply nonsense.
As for the head shot, the fact that it was quick doesn't change the fact that her intention was cruel, she could have easily hit the eye instead.
There are different levels of cruelty, a fact that seems lost on guys like you.
A little forethought would have told this woman that killing a cat with a bow and arrow, then posting a smiling picture of her holding the dead cat with an arrow through it on FaceBook, wasn’t the smartest thing to do for a veterinarian. That it turned out to be the neighbor’s pet cat made it even worse. She’s going to end up losing her business because of her excessive reaction, poor judgement and lack of forethought. She’s coming across as not exactly well-balanced, on top of that. Repercussions well into the future are in store for her, for having done this.
BTTT - feral cats are the biggest killers of birds. I agree with you that for some here, certain special animals > humans.
No, that’s what YOU and only a handful of other people commenting on the thread are harping on. She lied, she shouldn’t have.
Yes, animals that spend all or most of their time outside are known for being clean and flea-free. Hey, I know, maybe she Photoshopped the picture and lied about killing the cat to begin with. Get a grip.
You know damn well she killed it for fun and your attempts to justify it are pathetic.........
PETA-types are active on this thread.
You need to calm down. I wasn’t there, and neither were you, I won’t pretend to know what her motives were. She never claimed to kill the cat because it was flea infested. Fleas stay on a animal immediately after its death. If she killed it and immediately went to dispose of the body she would absolutely know if it was flea infested. What do you think? An animal drops dead and immediately all the fleas on it jump off?
Why don’t you answer the list of questions I posed that we don’t have answers to, then maybe I can comment on whether she killed the cat for fun.
PS Everyone has lied. Everyone. And if you say you’ve never lied you’re a liar. Are you still a liar? You must be, after all, as you pointed out, once a liar always a liar.
In this case, the vet was obviously lying about thinking the cat had rabies. She admitted as much at her inquiry. (Yes, I did break freeper tradition and actually read the article. :-) )
To the point about rabies, this animal was shot through the HEAD, and brain tissue is a definite risk for rabies which could infect a person through any small scratch already present. A vet would know that and not handle the animal at all without gloves and would submit it for testing. There is the same concern about non-bite or scratch contact with animals that groom by licking, like bats and cats, because the virus would likely be all over their fur.
That said, the risk of rabies in cats is very low in most of the US, (one exception used to be West Texas South of I-10) and rabies treatment isn’t really much of a deal anymore, except for having to make several visits for very unimpressive shots.

The cat was not feral. She lied.
The cat was not rabid. She lied.
The cat posed no danger to her animals. She lied.
She was indeed fired from her clinic. She lied.
The only thing she didn’t lie about was the joy she got from killing the neighbor’s pet cat.
Until you have taken an arrow to your head, you have no idea if it is painful.
If you don’t have a cut on you. Do you really want to play that game? Go ahead and I’ll bring the popcorn. I also said look at her gloves. They are not protective. Guess you couldn’t bother but wanted to start something.

Respectfully, I beg to differ.
“Any vet knows not to handle a dead bleeding rabid animal like that. Proof positive she knew it wasn’t rabid and is a liar.”
This is the comment I was responding to. She already pretty much admitted she lied about believing the cat had rabies. In this case, because it was a head shot and there was likely brain matter mixed in the blood she should have been wearing gloves if she thought the cat had rabies. Your comment was unclear, made it sound as though you thought that simply because the cat was bleeding that she could have exposed herself to rabies and that simply is not the case. Even if she had a cut on her hand. Rabies are not passed by blood to blood contact. They are passed through the saliva (or brain matter) of an infect animal. I was not trying to start anything at all, just trying to clarify. She put herself at risk because of the head shot, not because of the blood.
Well, let’s see there, 2 of your links are clickbait articles and the last is from PETA, who have an obvious agenda.
I’ll take the work of reputable psychologists over that any day.

Indeed, it was the head shot that put her at risk, not the blood. I was just wanting to clarify that point. To the point that she was lying, I don’t know why it matters that she was not wearing gloves; she already admitted she lied. Shame on her for that. Though I can certainly understand her trying to CYA.
Your comment, and my response to it, were not about the cat this woman killed. You were commenting on a FReeper who was killing feral cats on his property, and saying he was “as sick as she is” for doing that.
Agree totally. Your view is the only accurate & moral one here. I could not have said it better.
You possess humane values, FRiend.
How do you know she knew the cat wasn’t feral? It did not wear a collar. Did she admit she knew that the cat belonged to the neighbors? It was not mentioned in this article.
The cat was not rabid, she did indeed lie about that.
How do you know the cat posed no danger to her animals? I can think of a number of ways a cat is a danger to other animals (I don’t know what kind of animals she had, do you?) besides being rabid. Did she admit that she lied about believing the cat was a danger to her animals? That was not covered in this article.
