For those of you who missed it, as Kristina40 reported on Saturday, heartless Texas veterinarian Kristen Lindsey callously shot a stray cat in her yard with an arrow and bragged about it on Facebook. She has been fired and the sheriff's office is considering cruelty to animal charges, but we're not done with her yet. I felt that it was important to post updated information now because today is a good time to take action.
PLEASE NOTE: Trigger Warning: Other than Kristina40 and myself, all the posts show the original objectionable photo that the vet posted to Facebook, showing her holding up the slain cat with the arrow. I am posting pertinent quotes so that you don't have to go there if you want the information without the sickening photo. If you can look past it, however, please show the Facebook page your support.
According to the Facebook page, Justice for Cat Murdered by Kristen Lindsey:
Breaking News Update from a Loyal Supporter::: Texas State Board of medical examiners are meeting right now to discuss an emergency suspension of Kristen Lindsey license, for killing a pet cat with a bow and arrow. They are discussing suspension, revoking of her license, fines, penalties and disciplinary action. It Is likely, they will temporarily suspend her why the police finished their investigation and then make a decision based on that. if you want to sway the board towards revoking her license.. please email today. Vet.board@veterinary.Texas.gov , The more people that email, the more likely they are to revoke her license, which means she will NOT be able to practice in that state. That's a state. We will keep you updated..as soon as we know...You will know also.
So please note that's the Texas state board of veterinary medical examiners. Let's spread the word as far and wide as possible and flood their inbox today. While the original Kos diary had a link to a Change.org petition, here is the statement from the Texas board:
The Texas Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners has been made aware of the situation with one of our licensees. We will not be responding to any comments posted here and we request that any comments be submitted to our official agency email address vet.board@veterinary.texas.gov. Thank you.
They want comments submitted via email, let's give them comments submitted via email. Today, while there may still be time to make a difference in their decision regarding what disciplinary action to take.
