| A young vet in our area posted a picture of her holding a cat by the arrow she had shot thorugh it's head with the caption "First bow kill, only good feral cat is a dead one.... glady accepting awards for best vet of the year". She deleted the picture and had to deactivate her account once the backlash started. Of course someone took a screen shot before she deleted the pic and now news organizations have ran with the story. Turns out the cat most likely was not feral (you would have be one heck of a shot to get close enough to a true feral cat to get a clean shot) but a missing pet that the owners had been looking for and posting flyers on social media- has the same identical unique markings. I don't know why people don't think before posting. She caused her clinic untolds about of grief over this and she lost her job. |

Location: In The Land of Cotton | I saw that. To think she was a professional makes me shake my head. Obviously she didn't pay attention in human nature classes. What did she think was going to happen?

Location: East Tennessee but who knows?! | I saw that. I also saw the comments she made about them not firing her because she was too awesome. Obviously she's an ego-maniac, which they say goes hand in hand with lots of selfies. |

It's not just about the cat when it's someone's pet. It's about the people that are effected by this. |

| I find it crazy that it happened here in my area of Texas and those of you posting are from all over the country- the power of social media. It blows my mind that she posted that picture, stupid and immature, no telling how long this will follow her and what her job prospects are now. I bet any clinic who hires her will be bombarded with calls and messages. |

Whether or not it was a POS cat is beside the point. I think you missed the point of the thread. It was to prove how stupid some people can be with their posting on FB. This person (having graduated from vet school) is by no means a "youngster" and show know better. Additionally, in HER profession, she must have missed the classes about animal well being and professionalism. |

| Well at least she didn't lay down beside of it and take pictures, then claim she killed it for the food it would give the local people. I'm sorry I could not resist LOL
We won't ever know the real story behind the giraffe story but its creepy to me she wanted to lay down beside of it and take selfies lol
I'm not against hunting, my whole family hunts and I like deer meat. In college I was a work study in the biology department and I had to help with local deer management. Hunters serve a purpose keeping the deer population in check. Pretty sure thats not true with giraffes at the moment in Africa as they aren't on the endangered list but near it. Yes, I've read all the bull about her humanely putting it down and blah blah blah. |

You missed the whole point - it isn't what she did or whether I like cats or not - it is that she was so stupid (as a vet/professional) that she put it on FB. |

| Did the vet stalk the poor little cat on the owners property?
Keep your predatory animals on your property and nothing will happen. |

lol My thoughts exactly... hope that person doesn't own horses. Anyone that views animals like that shouldnt own them. This is just like that ESPN lady who insulted that women horribly because SHE was the idiot that got her own vehicle towed... wtheck is wrong with ppl these days.   |

| My previous vet wasnt as bad as this by any means but I was curious the day before our FIRST VISIT to have my horses coffin joints injected. I looked her up on FB and low and behold there she was with dozens of pictures of her getting totally wasted and partying. I know vets have social lives and thats fine but if your willing to put drunken selfies on your FB page your not the vet for me. I called and cancelled and told her exactly why. I teach High school and can't imagine posting some of the stuff you see on social media. |

| Itsme - 2015-04-17 1:37 PM Its a POS cat, get over it people. Just another faux outrage. We live out in the country and have had to dispose of some feral cats that show up sick. I have several barn cats and did not want to chance them getting sick too. I don't believe every cat needs to be saved- the world has plenty of them. But believe me, if one of my house cats that I bottled raised happened to get lost and someone shot it without first trying to find out if it was a missing pet, I would raise hell too. Hunting a domisticated animal for sport is pretty disgusting.

| DO vets take the same oath to do no harm as doctors do? I think they do. SHe could have her license revoked. Its like a medical doctor killing a homeless person and saying " A dead homeless guy is a good homeless guy" there really is no difference in the mentality. |

100% agree
If she was joe blow down the street it would not matter but she is a vet providing a service to people to CARE for animals. If she'd shoot a feral cat with an arrow I would definitely question her "back of the office care" of my kitty. No way in Hell i'd leave my dog at her office either. |
