Whether you like pussy or not, I think we can all agree that a dead pussy is far from appealing. And that is just what a veterinarian down in Texas is learning the hard way.
On Wednesday, Dr. Kristen Lindsey treated her Facebook followers with a photo of her holding a cat. However, this wasn’t a love my cat photo or anything, although I guess it could qualify for the crazy cat lady category. The cat in the photo had an arrow protruding from its head. The caption, posted by Lindsey read:
And the Disturbing Photo
What Lindsey apparently didn’t realize is that the "feral tomcat" she killed was actually belonged to someone. “Tiger,” the 6-year-old orange Tabby reportedly went missing earlier on Wednesday. A Facebook page titled "Justice for Tiger" was quickly set up and called for Lindsey to be charged with a crime. The page has photos of Tiger as well as a video that the kitty's owner posted to YouTube in November.
Even with Tiger’s identity revealed, Lindsey remained confident, as demonstrated with her next posting in response to calls for her firing from her employer. She posted:
Next, the Washington Animal Clinic terminated her. While there are animal cruelty laws in effect, given the nature of the property and property rights, it’s unclear if Lindsey will face any criminal charges. However, Austin County Sheriff Jack Brandes told KBTX that he'd forward the case to the district attorney for review.
The Texas Veterinary Medical Association issued a press release condemning the post:
"We are saddened and disturbed by the unfortunate actions of this individual, and we remind Texas residents that this conduct is not reflective of the veterinary profession or of the veterinarians who strive to embody the words of the veterinarian’s oath every day."
In all, Dr. Lindsey remains confident. Her latest Facebook post, in response to opponents and even those making death threats, reads:
