Eight years of school an still stupid.
from the comments on the local news article.
It’s not so much that she wanted to kill feral cats but that she:
1. didn’t bother to ascertain that this one was feral
2. ignored lost cat signs posted ON HER STREET
3. is allegedly a vet but couldn’t see that this cat was well-fed and clean, i.e. a pet
4. caught it in a leg trap baited with tuna
5. shot it while it was looking up at her and while it was trapped
6. bragged in a sociopathic way about her enjoyment of the kill with torture
7. works as a vet in the area and should know that hunting cats is illegal
Where do those details come from?
>> 4. caught it in a leg trap baited with tuna
>> 5. shot it while it was looking up at her and while it was trapped
Didn’t know about that part. It was bad enough the pig killed someone’s pet, but that’s just psychopathic evil right there.
Exactly. No one can deny that there are feral animals that need killing, but using a bow and arrow is not one of them in this instance.
At the heart of being a veterinarian is compassion and respect for animal life.
If a Vet doesn’t have that, they have no business being a vet.
My first thought when I saw the picture, before even reading the story, is that it didn’t at all look like a feral cat, even in that blurry picture.
Woah. A true definition of a psychopath.
That’s beyond nuts.
