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
Of course it was...
These people are like the inner city parents of kids killed by cops, they dont give a crap about their kids (cats) or what they are doing to the community until something happens to one of them then the outrage begins.
Good day |

Yes, the elderly couple definitely didn't care about their cat! It couldn't have possibly been an accident that it got out. NOPE.
It's one thing to quietly dispatch a problem animal, but this? This just isn't right.

| FLITASTIC - 2015-04-17 1:56 PM 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.
 totally agree. |

Itsme, you are flat out wrong and making igorant statements. How do you know they did not care??? Are you aware they were posting on social media on a page set up to help find lost pets in our county trying to find their cat prior to it being killed?? Why do you assume the worst in people, oh wait.....

| That is a sad, sad picture. I doubt she will work as a vet again. She won't get business from me in our area of Texas!
The guy that went on the rant at the clerk at the Chick-fil-a has never gotten gainful employment since that incident. He did get hired a 1000 miles away from where it happened and then two weeks later the company found out about it and canned him. Social media will haunt those that make stupid choices and post about it. I'm glad, too. |

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...
Bad form, indeed. |

A local rescue group is offering $7500 for evidence that could lead to her arrest. My first thought was I wish that money was going to feed some hungry kids. Right or wrong, social media is taking care of this girl, they don't need to throw a lot of money at it. |

Hope that they throw her sorry butt in jail, and lose's her right to be a Vet, she has no business being around any body's pet. |

It is a crime to kill a domesticated animal in Texas. If it is a felony and if convicted she will automatically lose her license. |

| Evidently, the cat wasn't ferrel. It wasn't where it belonged though. A house cat is one of the most intrusive species when they are loose in an ecosystem. Probably shouldn't have taken a selfie with it though. Would the story be different if it were a hog, and turned out to be somebodies pot bellie pig? |

I guess it was her Mom from Wyoming who took the photo. Yes, family went out of town and hired a pet sitter. The pet went missing on Wednesday and the sitter was posting trying to find it. From a post that someone took a picture of, it appears she was practicing in the back yard when the cat crossed her path and she shot it.

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.
Hopefully it follows her forever and causes her untold grief in her job pursuits. One thread above this is the unbelievable love that a group of folks have for a BHW regular and her desire to get one little pup to her house for his forever home. . . . And then you have "someone"-----I have a hard time calling them human---that would do this to a helpless cat. What a world we live in. |

  FLAWED logic, people letting domesticated animals run wild are like the lady parking in front of the sign then blaming others for the repercussions.
Itsme -- I'll remember this logic at my next show and the loose dogs start their roaming . . . I wonder how long it will take for me to get run out of barrel racing in Virginia with such an attitude? Or anywhere?? |
