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.
What ever happened to shoot, shovel and shut up? You don't rub that stuff in people's faces unless you're looking to deal with a cluster. |

FLAWED logic, people letting domesticated animals run wild are like the lady parking in front of the sign then blaming others for the repercussions. |

Location: 100 miles from Nowhere, AR | FLITASTIC - 2015-04-17 1:52 PM 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.
There is a vet here that I won't use. My grandmother used her and I went by the office one day to pick something up for her. The vet was standing behind the counter smoking a cigarette with her baby on her hip. No, just no. That's disgusting. If you have so little regard for your child, no way are you going to care for my animals. I heard through the grapevine since then that she sucks as a vet, but I don't intend to find out for myself. |

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.
Totally off topic but giraffes have to be managed just as any other wildlife species. The meat does go to feed the tribes in the area. The government pays wildlife biologists just like the US government does to do studies on how many of the animals can be harvested. Those animals that are harvested are usually older animals that have no value to the herd other than eating the feed a young viable and producing animal could eat. The tribesman and professional hunter have those animals selected before the paid hunter even shows up.
I haven't seen the picture so I don't know how distasteful it was however, I think before people go out and say how wrong the harvesting of exotic animals is, they need to educate them selves on it first. |

The giraffe pic I saw looked tastefully done. The hunter was smiling and people seemed to have a problem with that. Making death threats and such. |

You clearly missed the part we're it was a missing pet that was loved.
I understand shooting a legit feral cat. Especially if it was after livestock (chickens), attacking other pets, or posed a disease threat. The flawed logic here is that you think it's okay to shoot someones cat, dub it feral because it's in your yard, then post it all over FB. It's even worse because she's in a profession in a field working with animals.
Regardless. I feel shooting a animal that isn't for game(food) purposes with a bow is alittle personal... it's not a far step off to stab or beat one to death. Which.. is the first sign of a serial killer.
Animals that are on your property, you have the right to kill them. Posting it all over facebook after you killed someones pet is bad form... |

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

Just a dumb move from start to finish. If she did pay attention in Vet school she should know that as a veterinarian the AVMA has guidelines for approved methods of euthanasia. Bow and arrow isn't on that list. If she had shot the cat with a gun it would at least have met the standards for a humane euthansia. IF she in fact truly felt the animal was in need of being euthanized. And she did what was needed and moved on.
By killing it, posting pictures and bragging about her "first Bow Kill"...she clearly did it for sport. She should have been smart enough to realize that a vet bragging about killing a cat for sport is gonna upset a lot of folks. She deserves to be fired for bad judgement alone.
Now I'm not suggesting bowhunting isn't a viable means for taking game animals...I'm just saying there is yet another level to her apparent stupidity. |

Someone posted they wondered how she was smart enough to make it through vet school is she thought that posting that picture was a good idea. |

I've actually been on animal preservations and did an externahip in Belize with exotic animals. Post was really just poking fun at how stupid it was to pose laying down smiling like a beauty next to it. I mean she was asking for attention from the backlash. Actually anyone posting their life like the ones mention on this thread are screaming for attention whether they realize it or not

| WOW is all I have to say what a STUPID unprofessional move on her part. Hope she has another career in mind or has the funds to go out on her own ( which probably won't go over well either) I worked at a vet clinic and at one time was interested in going on to vet school. Some of the people they admit have no business treating animals no "common" sense and some have never even owned a gold fish

| How is that girl even old enough to be a vet ... She LOOKS 22.. lol if she's smart enough to finish school that early in life, she should have been smarter than to post that on social media... Guess it's a good thing for the people who used her as a vet though . . . |

| Apparently the news reports that the cat was not feral but an elderly couples cat. They are investigating on perusing animal cruelty charges. Guess she got all the attention she was looking for from that selfie |
