Update on Kristen Lindsey who killed pet cat

[avebury]

Just off of Facebook:

~ BREAKING NEWS ~ Just got off the phone with the Texas State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners. The 9 member board is meeting right now to discuss an emergency suspension of sadistic, depraved veterinarian Kristen Lindsey for killing a pet cat with a bow and arrow. They are discussing suspension, revocation of her license, fines, penalties and disciplinary actions. It is likely they will temporarily suspend her while the police finish their investigation and then make a decision based on that.
If you'd like to sway the board toward revocation of her license, please email today : [e-mail]
The more people email, the more likely they are for absolute revocation of her license, which means she will not be able to practice in that state. That's a start. We will follow her wherever she goes and prevent her from working with animals period. We are in this for the long haul.

According to reports, the owner of Tiger is going to file charges against Kristen Lindsey and the public is asked to refrain from harassing Kristen Lindsey and her family. Now, why would people harass her family? As it turns out, the person who took the photo of Kristen Lindsey's first kill was her mother and the mother also seemed to be proud of her daughter's deeds.

1. I truly hope that nasty excuse for a human being

loses her license and can't afford to hire one of the 'clean up your name online' firm so that her action is always on display.

[onecent]

153. This is what has my vote!!!

[cwydro]

2. I read somewhere today that she apparently

had a blog from some years ago where she spoke about how she loved to kill animals.

She's riding real close to that third rail of sociopathy, imo.

[Dont call me Shirley]

3. IMO she's already jumped the rail into Sociopathyville.

[cwydro]

4. I believe you're right

The more I read about her; there's something wrong with her.

And that comment after the fact about how awesome she is...gah!

[hifiguy]

6. There is clearly something wrong with that woman.

Seriously wrong. She should never be allowed around animals. Possibly people as well.

[ashling]

107. Assuming the truth of everything alleged to have been done here

she is a full fledged psychopath

[Surya Gayatri]

11. Is this what you're thinking of? Portrait of a sociopath in her own words...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10141071260#post48

"I love Wyoming and the mountains....the Big Horns especially...but any will do when it really comes down to it. I love hunting, fly fishing, pack trips, the outdoors in general, horses, skiing, dancing, whiskey, my friends, my family, God, raising hell, my daddy, and sheep...ya, that's right. I love having good times with good people. I recently discovered that what's important in life is to simply live, laugh, love, & learn. And to find a way to be happy with the everyday, simple things in life. I was accepted to vet school at CSU so I'm in the middle of spending 4 years of a new life in Ft. Collins, CO so that I have something to call a career! If that doesn't pan out, I'll attempt to marry someone rich so I can spend the rest of my days at higher elevations doing what I love.'

.../

Current interests: Living my days to the fullest, finding the meaning of happiness, killing things or trying to kill things (animals, a full glass of whiskey, hangovers, etc)..."

[cwydro]

15. Yes, but that's even more than I saw.

"Marry someone rich." This woman has no feelings.

[freshwest]

20. The unforgiving eyes of the internet need to follow her to Colorado. No doubt she'll marry a version

of Ted Nugent with similar views and enough green to keep her blissfully unaware of the rest of the world's opinions.

I suspect she'll be trumphed as a Tea Party martyr for all of this. So be it.

[Surya Gayatri]

106. She'll be looking to change careers about now. Expect her

to be courted by the RNC as their next poster girl.

[freshwest]

110. Very likely. They are a Death Cult, you know... n/t

[workinclasszero]

64. Sounds like a serial killer in the making

[Hassin Bin Sober]

71. Any rich guy who marries her should sleep with one eye open and hire a food tester.

[workinclasszero]

72. No doubt!

Like that Gone Girl pic.....yikes!

[Nay]

91. Yeah, no shit!!! nt

[DonCoquixote]

81. whiskey, my friends, my family, God, raising hell,

You know, if Jesus was judged by the people that claim to love him so much, he would be considered one of the worst criminals to have ever stepped foot on the earth.

[savalez]

137. amen!

[forest444]

41. No doubt about it. She's probably on the GOP Veep shortlist already!

The Koches and Paul Singer are having trouble deciding between her and Amanda Knox.

[Ilsa]

59. Well, that's just freaking great. Another unqualified sociopath they'll

Run for office just to mouth off about the liberals who are out to destroy her.

[forest444]

101. Mind you I don't know if either woman is a Republican (although Kristen Lindsey probably is),

But they're certainly both sick enough to rub elbows with the likes of Dick Cheney and the rest of the 911/Iraq crowd.

And I hope they do one day - in Hell.

[FourScore]

135. Wow. You drank the Amanda Knox cool-aid. The woman is innocent.

She was a victim of a prosecutor who is now sitting in jail. (Interestingly enough, he had an exorbitant number of cases that involved "satanic sex rituals" - the guy was a total whack job!) He leaked false stories about her to the press to get public opinion on his side. Her DNA was no where near the crime scene. The knife they found in Sollecito's kitchen didn't even match the wounds. Knox and Sollecito were exonerated twice, once by the Italian Supreme Court who not only said they were "not guilty" but went so far as to say they were "innocent" of all charges.

Your post suggests you've been reading tabloid trash. My heart goes out to Meredith Kercher and her family. I hope they can one day step away from the false "evidence" they were given by the prosecutor and see the truth. Then they will know that the actual killer is already in jail, unfortunately with a very light sentence.

[yeoman6987]

95. Putting Amanda Knox next to this woman is insulting

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

97. That was random

What are Amanda Knox's politics?

[forest444]

100. I'd say she's a Dem

for Demoniacal.

[CoffeeCat]

60. In light of this information...

…one has to wonder if she intentionally killed other pets, while working at this vet office.

If she expressed an interest and love for killing animals, then my guess is that she manipulated herself into a career that would help her to engage in her sick desires.

She is like a pedophile who becomes a soccer coach to get near children.

I seriously hope that any business who worked with her--does a thorough investigation to determine if this very demented, weak and disgusting person ever intentionally killed an animal under her care.

Maybe animals died under suspicious circumstances--or possibly people dropped off their pets and something "went wrong." This sicko needs to be looked at more closely.

She needs professional help…really fast.

[mercuryblues]

62. that

that is my concern as well. Did she tell a pet owner their pet was worse off, just so she could kill it and watch their pain. If she had been my vet, I would be asking some serious questions of the clinic.

[3catwoman3]

90. She would probably love working in a kill "shelter."

(The words kill and shelter do not belong in the same sentence.)

[Jamastiene]

114. I'm already asking serious questions about the clinic.

Someone at that clinic had to have heard her bragging on enjoying killing animals. People like that brag on themselves all the time. They seem to think it is something to be proud of. That's why she posed for that picture. She was proud of what she did. Someone at that clinic had to have known what she was like. I don't buy their feigned shock, at all.

[mercuryblues]

118. A good point

I also believe people like her can feign compassion enough to fool those around them. It is integral to their survival. Look at people like Ted Bundy, no one ever suspected him of being a serial killer and many were shocked when he was caught. They are very adept at imitating compassion when it suits their needs.

I am not saying she would have been a serial killer of humans, she chose pets as her victims. She built up to that level of confidence and comfort to kill her neighbors pet and post it on FB somewhere. My guess is at the clinic. She was able to lie and deceive to convince people she is a great caring person. Got away with euthanizing pets that did not need it, then felt emboldened and escalated to the point where she thought killing her neighbors pet would be accepted. I believe watching the human response to the loss was a well hidden thrill for her.

From what is known about her, she says she loves to hunt, but no pictures of her with a deer or any other wild animal. Which indicates to me that witnessing the human grief over losing a beloved pet is part and parcel of her psyche.

[cwydro]

127. I had the same thoughts.

What a soulless person.

[Beaufort69]

159. My Feelings Exactly!

My feelings exactly....I really think she has killed animals before for fun and her family members have as well. She got this from someone in her family so she must think it's okay. This was perhaps the first time she ever posted a picture of one of her 'kills'.

I think people like her are akin to pedophiles as you suggested. She chose a career where she could get her 'fix' watching animals dies, particularly felines which she hates. I wonder how many poor cats died under her 'care' and maybe other animals as well.

If I was a customer of the Washington Animal Clinic and had a beloved pet die under her care, I'd certainly look into any suspicious activity.

What galls me is that she is the type of person that even if she is tried and convicted, etc., she thinks everybody else is the problem and that she is just wonderful. She's a narcissistic sociopath and a very dangerous woman.

[mrs_p]

164. Her focus

Is large animal. I'm not sure how much small animal vet med she has been practicing.

[ImaPolitico]

108. Really. How many more has she done this to?

I wouldn't put it past her if she had already killed more of these beautiful animals in the past.
Let's hope they throw the book at her and then some.

[samsingh]

125. it sounds like she does this a lot

[Arugula Latte]

186. So naturally she became a vet.

[okaawhatever]

5. Good to hear. I'll bet an investigation shows a lot more of this type behavior. nt

[samsingh]

7. i don't believe that harrassing this human filth is a bad thing

[rhett o rick]

12. I am disappointed to see a comment like that on a "politically liberal" message board.

I would hope that all liberals would recognize that we have laws and processes to appropriately punish people that break the law. And I hope she gets her just punishments.

I could understand the desire for revenge from those whose cat it was, but even then it's wrong IMO.

“Vengeance, retaliation, retribution, revenge are deceitful brothers; vile, beguiling demons promising justifiable compensation to a pained soul for his losses. Yet in truth they craftily fester away all else of worth remaining.”
― Richelle E. Goodrich, The Tarishe Curse (emphasis mine)

[Major Nikon]

21. Nothing good is in her future

In all likelihood she will permanently lose her license in Texas which means it's highly unlikely any other state will reinstate her. So all those years she spent in school are now swirling the drain. Seems like the appropriate punishment.

[samsingh]

29. i hope she loses her license to practice

and hopefully she won't become a mass murderer - as many who are cruel to animals have that characterstic

[LynneSin]

75. Think of the student loans she probably has

Vet school cannot be cheap. Maybe the teabag gets will set up a gofundme site for here

[samsingh]

123. i hope she has hundreds of thousands in loans.

i hope she is sued by the cat's owners.

i hope she is put in jail - even for a short time.

what a disgusting little piece of shit she is.

[LynneSin]

139. I read where she has a goal of finding a rich husband

What rich husband is going to want to take on a wife who has massive student loans with no means of a decent job to pay off those loans. I mean the only reason people give doctors and veternarians student loans is because those doctors and vets will one day earn the income to pay off those loans.

She is vile

[samsingh]

147. it seems that the washington clinic is owned by her father in law.

[mrs_p]

165. Hmm. She is not married.

[City Lights]

166. Do you have a link to that?

Why does it seem that way to you? I've seen nothing to indicate that other than your claims.

[samsingh]

167. very intense response from you? it's on the facebook comments page.

[City Lights]

168. Thanks for the info.

[samsingh]

169. people may be confusing her with the other vet who is married and put encouraging comments on

fb.

there is a petition to remove her license as well.

[justamama83]

170. The owner's son- also a vet in the practice

has a wife with the name Kris- that is not Kristen. Kris teaches biology at a local college or other school according to his biography on the clinic's web site. I also saw that on FB but another poster familiar with the clinic said that there was no relation between Kristen and the owner.

[samsingh]

172. that makes sense

[samsingh]

27. since when does being liberal mean not caring about animals or having passion

about right and wrong.

in fact this constant attacks on liberals whenever they stand up for themselves has allowed repugs and conservatives to take over the news, radios and many newspapers.

i call for justice.

[rhett o rick]

45. Justice I agree with, vengence I don't. I also care about animals greatly

and I hope the justice system throws the book at her.

[samsingh]

120. that's want i want. but i also want society to show how abhorant her behaviour is

[kcr]

188. It's not vengeance to speak out against cruelty

Don't want people telling you what a piece of shit you are for shooting someone's pet in the head with an arrow, especially if you are a veterinarian? Don't do that. It's that simple. I don't know where this need to protect people from the consequences of their actions seems to be coming from all of a sudden. I don't get it.

[rhett o rick]

189. " It's not vengeance to speak out against cruelty" I absolutely agree.

It is vengeance to speak of harassing her and her family. We have a justice system. If you wish to speak out about her being a piece of shit, go for it. Self-righteous bullying is vengeance.

[kcr]

190. Family I don't agree with. But I don't see it as harrassment to tell her she's a piece of shit.

Because she is.

[rhett o rick]

191. Harrassment would be vengence no matter how you try to justify it.

“When you begin a journey of revenge, start by digging two graves:
one for your enemy, and one for yourself.”
Jodi Picoult, Nineteen Minutes

[jberryhill]

104. You feel about her what she felt about cats

This makes you a better person

[samsingh]

122. i don't care about being a better person. i care about saving innocent animals and people

i don't spend my energy defending those who commit evil crimes. i spend my energy helping victims and stopping crimes from being committed.

[Demit]

87. I'm with you. The bloodlust in this thread is the same as bloodlust everywhere.

Apparently these self-described liberals are no different. When they feel they are justified, principles go out the window.

[rhett o rick]

93. I think it's a self-righteousness. The lady is definitely not a good person,

so let's all go and humiliate her. Why? What good will that do?

[jberryhill]

94. The intensity of hate is impressive

These things give people the opportunity to take all of their unfocused hate, focus it on someone deserving of it, distill it to its pure white-hot essence of the expectant thrill of communal bloodlust, and feel good about it.

The notion of opportunities for justice being unfortunate in themselves, has no place on the Internet.

If this woman had any sense, she'd just kill herself now. No finite punishment or rehabilitation will ever satisfy the bottomless pit of hate.

[RedCappedBandit]

181. Unpopular, inconvenient, and true. nt

[City Lights]

13. She should be shunned rather than harassed. nt

[freshwest]

22. Agreed. Harrassment will simply up her reputation as victim of mean old liberals. n/t

[samsingh]

28. thinks of the cat

[jberryhill]

103. When you can see another human as "filth"

Then, really, there's only one thing to be done with filth.

Practice bow hunting on her I suppose.

What makes you different from her? Your concern about other living things?

[secondwind]

8. HUGE K&R.. she does not deserve to care for animals.. she has shown her true colors

[DinahMoeHum]

9. There are now several "Justice For Tiger" sites on Facebook.

Just google the words "justice for tiger facebook" and you'll have 'em.

[City Lights]

10. I just saw this on FB and sent an email.

I hope those who want to see her lose her license take the time to send an email.

Thanks for posting this here!

[MuseRider]

14. I sent a note to them

thank you for the address. I just deactivated my FB account a few days ago and will not be changing that for a time so I can't comment on the FB pages that have come up. I do hope she loses her license and that they do follow her wherever she goes. Can you imagine finding out that your vet had done something like this?

[TuxedoKat]

16. I didn't realize

she had killed someone's pet -- I had read it was a feral cat -- which was bad enough. What a horrible, sick individual. Hope she loses her license to practice and that no one else will hire her as a vet anywhere.

[avebury]

18. There is a video online of the cat. He looks like

he was a really sweet boy.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

70. Yes, a really sweet boy.

License revoked and jail. Nothing less.

[BlueCaliDem]

128. Here's the video of Tiger:

[City Lights]

148. What a sweet boy.

[LisaL]

19. Her neighbor's cat, named Tiger, is missing. And he looked just like the one

in the photo.
So most likely it was her neighbor's cat, not a feral cat.
Tiger was a very friendly cat.

[freshwest]

26. Not only that, he was a neutred family pet of neighboring elderly farmers.

There was a video in which the woman giving him a ride on the hood of her open vehicle where the woman called him her protector and he was constantly rubbing his head on the wheel where her hands were to show his affection.

He was very well fed and clean, clearly not feral. It has been said the angle of the wound when gone over by DUers was the position of a cat looking up to her face. No doubt wanting to be petted.

The farm or ranch of his owner was on a lot of land and he made the mistake of wandering just off the property line, or so it appeared. The video of the cat is posted her on DU and it's clear he was completely tame and expected the best from people.

[murielm99]

34. I thought it was feral, too.

But that does not make it right. We care for two ferals on our property. We also have the neighbor's tom cat. The neighbor used to come and get him, but he likes it here. It is safer for him to live here than to cross the road to get to our property. She used to come to see him once in a while, but I guess she gave up, or got a new cat.

I like cats. Even if I did not like them, I would not kill them!

[Ilsa]

61. Even feral cats serve a purpose

in our environment by killing vermin. I don't consider them a nuisance.

[ncjustice80]

99. I dont support animal cruelty or what this woman did...

But dont kid youraelf- fetal cats are AWFUL for the enviroment. They are decimating native songbirds and have no natural pedators.

[hamsterjill]

132. I know there's no sense arguing the point with you.

But I don't agree. It is MAN who is decimating native song birds.

[Beaufort69]

157. I know there's no sense arguing the point with you.

Thank you! I'm so tired of hearing cat-haters opportunistically inserting their anti-cat agenda into virtually any topic that is about domestic cats, even one that was attacked, tortured and killed by some sicko such as Kristen Lindsey.

[hamsterjill]

185. You're welcome.

I simply feel that sometimes it's important to speak up and disagree with a comment so that the readers know there are some who disagree.

I've heard all of the hoopla about how terrible feral cats are for the environment. I am involved in TNR and I simply don't buy it.

Thank you for your post.

[Arugula Latte]

187. Me too.

And welcome to DU from another cat lover.

[Tom Ripley]

180. +1000

[avebury]

176. This was not a feral cat but a pet who

would have had no reason to fear Lindsey until it ended up in Lindsey's trap and she then shot it what had to be pretty close.

[ncjustice80]

178. I was replying to the poster who thinks feral cats are a good thing.

I dont know the circumstances of this cat, and I wasnt commenting on it. I would never support such a cruel way to kill an animal in any case. I was merely pointing out to a poster who liked feral cats because they "kill vermin" that they are in fact an invasive species, introduced by humans, with a terribly destructive effect on local eco systems.

[Ino]

17. I don't think the cat in the photo was dead yet

His legs and tail were not dangling limply as they would have been if he was dead. There's more to this story... more cruelty in dangling the suffering cat, in finishing him off. This psycho bitch should not be allowed near any living creature.

[MissDeeds]

23. OMG

This story just gets worse and worse. She is a seriously sick, depraved woman. I hope she does jail time.

[LisaL]

30. Yes, the front legs are extended and back legs aren't simply dangling.

Cat might have not died right away.

[vankuria]

79. So sad...

I'm not a cat lover, we've always had dogs but I hate for any living creature to be abused. I wondered if the cat was even dead yet, when she posed for the photo, if not the poor thing was being tortured and that makes her the worst piece of crap on the planet.

This girl is sick and the fact that she had to go on social media to brag about this and had her mom take a photo, this family is the worst of the worst.

I can only hope this miserable creature never is allowed around animals, humans or anything that breathes.

[ImaPolitico]

109. Am wondering what her past was like growing up.

I too think there is more to this story.

[romanic]

111. Yikes.

I didn't even think of that, omg that makes it even worse to know the fucking lunatic killed it slowly after shooting him.

[KansDem]

131. I thought the same thing...

I don't think the cat in the photo was dead yet

He didn't look completely limp and wondered if he were still alive.

[shenmue]

24. I am really hoping this piece of crap goes to jail

[freshwest]

31. She has plans to live in Colorado and go to vet school there. Her parents support her totally.

I believe there is a question of family wealth as well.

The police department said they had to make sure the pictures was not photoshopped before they could use the picture as evidence. Her mother and father were with her as she 'practiced' and saw the entire event.

Her mother replied to a question on the page asking if the photo was photoshopped, saying that she had taken the picture, that it was not photoshopped and she was proud of her daughter.

[LisaL]

36. She doesn't have any plans to live in Colorado. That was a very old blog post.

Made before she finished her school in Colorado. She now graduated.

[City Lights]

54. She already went to vet school in Colorado.

That's where she earned her degree. They, too, have disowned her. The school issued a statement.

[freshwest]

57. Okay, I was going by the post by Suryta. I thought it was present tense. Got a link of that? TIA.

I'd love to read what they said about the whole thing. If it's FB, though, I won't be able to see what they said, though. Don't tweet, either. Please post it for me.

[City Lights]

63. The statement was addressed to students and colleagues. Link below.

http://www.scribd.com/doc/262307630/Colorado-State-Veterinary-School-letter-to-students-and-staff

[freshwest]

84. TY. I was able to access the document after giving permissions. The Veterinarian's Oath's not ©:

Being admitted to the profession of veterinary medicine, I solemnly swear to use my scientific knowledge and skills for the benefit of society through the protection of animal health and welfare, the prevention and relief of animal suffering, the conservation of animal resources, the promotion of public health, and the advancement of medical knowledge.

I will practice my profession conscientiously, with dignity, and in keeping with the principles of veterinary medical ethics. I accept as a lifelong obligation the continual improvement of my professional knowledge and competence.

She took that oath but the letter describes her actions and comments as grotesque and hopes she is prosecuted. I hope so as well. Somewhere on this or another thread it's said that the elderly owners of the cat are filing a lawsuit, and one thread showed a long video of the cat.

Their video showed an animal that was affectionate and liked people, well kept and groomed, definitely not feral. A vet would know that and that he had been neutered.

And some DUers looked at the angle of the arrow and said the cat was looking up at her as she shot, and surmise he was expecting to be petted. It was like shooting fish in a barrel, innocent and trusting.

This kind of callous disregard for life is becoming more obvious from the right, they show great pride in presenting themselves as apex predators. This is their attitude toward liberals, women, minorities, the poor / disabled.

Just kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out, is their motto. They're a pox on the human race. They are young and cruel and vote.

[City Lights]

88. We are in complete agreement.

I am just sickened by this. That picture haunts me, and her words cut right through me. She was gleeful over her kill. Thought she would be crowned "Vet of the Year."

I hope she loses her license, and that she is prosecuted and convicted. People like her disgust me.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

74. Here's Dr. I Like Killing Things 2011 blog post.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=6529570

And a statement from the Dean and Associate Dean of CSU's vet school, "...to strongly decry (Lindsey’s) grotesque actions”:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=6533741

[City Lights]

51. Me too! nt

[MissDeeds]

25. Thanks for the update

and the email. I'll definitely contact the vet board.

K&R

[freshwest]

32. She's said that she has been accepted by a vet school in CO. They should be contracted, too. n/t

Last edited Mon Apr 20, 2015, 07:20 PM - Edit history (1)

EDIT:

City Lights gives a different time line than what I thought from a post by Surya. Apparently she got her degree there and moved to Texas.

City Lights says the vet school in Colorado disowned her. Waiting for the statement, I'd love to read what they have to say about their former student about this killing.

[LisaL]

33. She already graduated from there several years ago.

[bvar22]

35. "prevent her from working with animals "

She (and her mother) shouldn't be allowed around people either.

[DonCoquixote]

83. I agree and raise you

How much you wanna bet that this POS got off seeing Cops hunt down young black males? it would nto surprise me to see some racial violence in this girl's profile.

[mrs_p]

163. You are likely correct

she hung with racists in vet school

Edit - I meant that I think she is likely a racist. I didn't mean to agree she is violent towards people of color.

[bearssoapbox]

37. She might be able to get a job with "Shitstain Nugent".

But she's probably to old for him.

[Jamastiene]

115. She would definitely be too old for him.

He likes girls barely out of diapers.

[arcane1]

38. God dammit, it was someone's PET????????

Not that it was an improvement to kill a feral cat, but at least that might be halfway understandable. Who kills someone's pet, except psychopaths???

[Beaufort69]

162. She's evil, but not stupid, she knew it was not a feral cat.

[treestar]

39. Texas even protects feral cats

https://www.animallaw.info/statute/tx-cruelty-consolidated-cruelty-statutes#s42.092

She could be charged under (b)(2) of "Cruelty to nonlivestock animals" and the defenses don't apply.

[Kablooie]

40. I'd like to know the story behind her shooting the cat.

Did she hunt it on purpose or was it an accident and why?
Is she experienced with the bow or a novice?

Why on earth was she so delighted at killing a cat?
Just because it was an exact hit?

It's hard to believe anyone who deals with animals would deliberately go out and shoot a neighborhood cat and then be so delighted at her accomplishment.
There has to be more to the story than at first appears.
There's no way she can be excused from this monstrous behavior but I'd like to know where it came from.

[LisaL]

42. You should start with reading her facebook post, where she brags about killing the cat and

thinks she deserves a vet of the year award.

[Kablooie]

43. I know but it's so bizarre. Is she simply a psychopath who escaped detection?

It seems odd she could go all the way through veterinary school without anyone catching on.

[LisaL]

46. Why? Some people go all the way through medical school without anyone catching on.

And they did a lot worse than what she is accused of.

[avebury]

53. This is a good case study on why colleges should look at

the social media of prospective students. The warning signs were already there before she became a vet.

[Initech]

184. Dexter was a medical school dropout.

Now he's a fictional character but still, just saying.

[avebury]

48. There is a lot out there about Lindsey on the web because

People got a lot of screen shots of some of her postings before they came down.
screen shots can be your best friends.


To summarize, she loves to kill animals. When shot got accepted to Vet School she posted that she would give is a shot and if that didn't work out she would find a rich husband so that she could do what she likes (i.e. kill animals).

There is no doubt that she intentionally shot the cat. I saw a video of the cat that was posted on line and was a really sweet cat.

Dr. Kristen Lindsey has been fond of “killing things or trying to kill things” for some time, as her old blog reveals. After completing a recent post about Lindsey, I was referred to a 2011 blog she maintained called Life Writings from the Lazy Boot. It appears she abandoned it a short while before she began her journey to become a licensed veterinarian.

The final blog post is about her grandfather, but it’s what is written beneath her blog post that’s particularly chilling. At least, when one considers the photo Lindsey took of herself with a dead cat.

“Current interests: Living my days to the fullest, finding the meaning of happiness, killing things or trying to kill things (animals, a full glass of whiskey, hangovers, etc), my friends (both near and far), spending time with my dad, the outdoors in general, fly fishing on Shell Creek until it’s too dark to see, hunting with my dad and better yet…learning from my dad as we hunt.”

44. The CSU College of Veterinary Medicine posted a Facebook status about Kristen Lindsey

"At Colorado State, we join the veterinary clinic that earlier employed the individual, the Texas Veterinary Medical Association, and countless others who strongly decry the grotesque actions and comments displayed in that post."

https://www.facebook.com/CSUVetMedBioSciApril 18 at 6:15pm · Edited ·

Our dean and associate dean for veterinary education sent the message below to students, faculty and staff in CSU's College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences today. It summarizes their abhorrence of the post that is drawing tremendous outrage, as well as the philosophy of medical excellence and compassionate care held by those in our Doctor of Veterinary Medicine Program.

Dear students and colleagues:

We write to address a troubling issue that has drawn attention in our college, and is gaining attention in the nation and around the world.

Many of us are aware of the deeply disturbing news involving a Colorado State University veterinary graduate who has worked in Brenham, Texas, and appears to have posted on Facebook a very distressing photograph and boastful comments about killing a cat with a bow and arrow. In the course of one day, the post and outraged response have blown up through social media and as a news story in traditional media outlets.

At Colorado State, we join the veterinary clinic that earlier employed the individual, the Texas Veterinary Medical Association, and countless others who strongly decry the grotesque actions and comments displayed in that post. We trust that the Austin County Sheriff’s Office will continue its investigation of the case, and that it will be appropriately adjudicated through both the law-enforcement system and the Texas State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners.

47. Hopefully current and future generations will be able to use this as an example of:

"How To *NOT* Throw Your Career Away 101".

Lesson 1: If you are a licensed veterinarian, don't hunt house cats for sport.

[JGug1]

49. Comment From Kansas Veterinarian

It is likely that if she has her license suspended in Texas that other states will comply with that suspension. I believe that most states will not allow a veterinarian to practice if his/her license is suspended in another state. I am not familiar with every state but I have seen this process operate with a doctor who lost his license in one eastern state and cannot get a license in Kansas or in Virginia or New York because of that.

Here is my own thinking on this. I suspect that this individual is mentally ill. Given that, this would be an impaired doctor and Boards have been supportive of drug/alcohol impaired doctors who got help. Having said this, I view what she did as so heinous that I cannot keep myself from feeling that she should lose her license and I do not see redemption.

As a veterinarian who still gets joy from his practice after 44 years, I am despondent and embarrassed for my profession over her act.
Kansas DVM

[LisaL]

52. If her license isn't suspended, it's hard to imagine anybody wanting to hire her as a vet.

And I am getting very tired about everything under the sun blamed on mental illness.

[avebury]

69. Her actual fall back position if that vet thing

didn't work out was to find a rich man to marry so that she could do what she loves (i.e. kill animals).

[Initech]

89. I hear Ted Nugent is single.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

92. She's too old for him.

[Skittles]

161. I don't feel like she represents veterinarians

any more than Dubya represented Americans

I agree with you she has to have some kind of mental issues - not just with killing that cat, but not understanding how it would go over when she bragged about it on Facebook - something is seriously wrong with her

[AngryAmish]

50. So this is the random person on the internet I am supposed to hate?

There should be a newsletter.

[LisaL]

55. Yes, those are the internet laws you have to follow.

[City Lights]

56. There are a few people who still love and support her.

You're free to join them.

[avebury]

58. This is a woman who loves to kill animals and intentionally

killed an elderly couples pet cat.

From her blog:

[Liberal_in_LA]

86. blood thirsty

[Demit]

82. That is a horrible thing to say, even in the form of a question.

[samsingh]

121. i think the poster is upset at the slaughter of innocent animals. i disagree that

the post was hidden.

[Demit]

124. Being upset doesn't justify suggesting that another DUer is a sociopath.

It is possible to be upset at innocent animals being killed without lashing out at someone who was not involved with it. The poster you are defending has somehow gotten to be an adult (presumably) without having learned how to express his/her emotions properly. S/he should learn some impulse control.

[samsingh]

126. i'm trying to put perspective on a fellow DUer who is upset about a slaughter

we can be big enough to understand the emotion without telling people to shut up on everything.

here we ask for understanding and patience with alleged killers and criminals, and yet have no tolerance for our fellow members when they get emotional.

[tenderfoot]

68. Would a pretty picture suffice? WARNING you may want to brace yourself...it's graphic

Here's your newsletter.

Hope you're satisfied.

[Ikonoklast]

76. You're not supposed to do anything.

No one asked.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

77. Are you a wealthy man?

In the market for a young cat-killing (hopefully) former vet? In her 2011 blog post she stated she planned to marry rich if the whole vet thing didn't pan out. Go for it.

[TDale313]

102. How anyone hearing this could not be disgusted

Is beyond me. I absolutely hate her actions, and think there should be serious penalties for animal cruelty. Anyone who could do this and gleefully brag about it is a disturbed and dangerous individual.

[Jamastiene]

117. I'm more surprised that you have no compassion at all for the family

the cat belonged to. What would it take to make you give a shit about someone going around being cruel to family pets?

[840high]

65. Thanks for link.

[phil89]

67. Can her degree be revoked?

She has to be prevented from ever practicing again. Hope they stay on this sicko.

[LynneSin]

73. Are you sure? Maybe they are looking to vote her Vet of the Year

Ok maybe not

[magical thyme]

78. email sent. that disgusting person has no business being a vet

she should be banned from being near animals.

[darkangel218]

80. "As a veterinary professional, Kristen Lindsey you disgust me"

All children want to grow up and be something one day. A nurse, a fireman, a teacher, a veterinarian. Many go on to becoming this. Most don't. For those that do, it truly is a dream come true.

I always dreamed of working with animals. Some days I wanted to be a veterinarian. Others I wanted to work in a zoo. In the end I chose to be a certified veterinary technician, an animal nurse if you will.

As an animal lover and veterinary professional, we have sympathy and empathy for what we do. We hate to see animals in pain and suffering. We grieve with our clients. It kills us to walk through animal shelters with rows and rows of unwanted pets. It pains us to to see a stray dog on the streets. It breaks our heart to see a feral cat fending for itself searching for its next meal.

Many of us adopt. Take a leash and help the stray dog find its owner. And we feed the feral cat, even making them an outdoor shelter out of an old dog carrier wrapped in a trash bag with a heating pad inside (not that I know anything about this.)

We certainly don't take a bow and arrow and shoot a feral cat in the head. A cat that you have no idea if it is actually feral and not lost. A cat whose owner is devastated by its loss as it it...

Worth the read.

[Liberal_in_LA]

85. thanks for update

[hunter]

96. Maybe she was just trying to get a job with the police department.

In many places police departments actively recruit people like her.

[colorado_ufo]

105. Woman needs mental help and quickly.

She has serious issues with boundaries, reality, and impulse control. What she did shows a complete disconnect between actions and consequences and a lack of reason. Animals aside, she poses a danger to others and likely herself, as well.

[davidpdx]

112. That is just terrible

The sad thing is she probably could pass the boards in another state after things calm down in a year or two.

[darkangel218]

113. Not unless they ban her from owning/being around pets again.

[Enthusiast]

116. Anyone that would shoot a cat with an arrow is unfit to be a veterinarian.

IMO, they wouldn't be fit for anything.

[Triana]

119. Please help spread contacts for the licensing board, sheriff's office and TX DA

So people can bombard them with email demanding that her license be revoked and that she be punished to the absolute fullest extent of the law.

Contact info for TX licensing board, DA and Sheriff's office: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Justice-for-Tiger-the-cat-killed-by-the-veterinarian-Kristen-Lindsey/1611808999036852?fref=nf

129. How long until conservatves start raising money for her?

I assume she's on the list of oppressed people to help out.

TlalocW

[tblue37]

136. Actually, even many conservatives love pets. nt

[Beaufort69]

160. I wouldn't give her a penny.

[get the red out]

130. It is best she not be permitted to practice

She is not suited for her chosen field. At this point, she would not succeed anyway, one needs clients for a successful practice.

[hamsterjill]

133. Update from this morning indicates that charges are going to be filed.

The Austin County Sheriff's Office has sent the case to the District Attorney. The Facebook sites indicate that charges will be filed. I hope the DA's office follows through with this and she is held accountable for her actions.

So often, in Texas, animal cruelty is dismissed with a slap on the wrist.

[Liberal_in_LA]

155. good

[City Lights]

134. Austin County Sheriff is reporting:

At 7:59 this morning, the Austin County Sheriff has completed the investigation of the Animal Cruelty case first reported to us last Friday. The completed case file has been turned over to the Austin County District Attorney for filing of charges under Texas Penal Code 42.092.
With the completion of the investigation, the Sheriff's Office will not release any further comments or updates to this case. Any comments, questions or information requests must be made directly to the District Attorney's Office.

[herding cats]

142. Did she ever come in and speak to the sheriff, or were they able to authenticate the pic?

Last I heard she had lawyered up and wasn't cooperating. They said they had no real case unless they could somehow authenticate the pic on FB.

[City Lights]

144. IDK any of the details.

All I know is what I posted. I wish I had more information.

[herding cats]

145. Thanks for the reply all the same.

I wish there were more details out there to be found. I worry they won't be able to authenticate the pic and all she has to do then is not admit it to avoid a conviction.

[City Lights]

146. Me too. I keep searching for stuff, but can't get much information.

The most info has been coming from the Justice for Tiger FB page. They seem to be on top of it.

[workinclasszero]

149. She can lawyer up

all she wants to but I bet she never practices as a vet again in this country.

[herding cats]

150. I seriously hope she doesn't.

Something is very wrong with her. The last thing she should be is in a position to inflict pain on innocent victims who can't tell on her.

[workinclasszero]

152. Seriously she brags about killing things

A early sign serial killers put out is torturing and killing pets.

This woman is dangerous, and maybe not only to poor house cats.

[kiva]

154. Apparently her mother proudly said that she had taken the pic

of her daughter...so, thanks mom, now your daughter can't slither out of it by claiming photoshopping.

[herding cats]

156. With mothers like that

It doesn't matter if you keep your mouth closed. A well placed subpena and this might just be settled in such a way that she'll never practice as a veterinarian again. She might even get herself some probation, or if justice is actually served serve a bit of time in jail.

[C Moon]

143. In the LEAST she should lose her license. C'mon!

[RKP5637]

151. She should lose her license and IMO be sentenced to some serious prison time. n/t

[Aerows]

158. Anybody that can gleefully kill an

animal as she did, has no business being a veterinarian.

Something inside of her brain doesn't work right if she is killing the very patients she was sworn to care for and do no harm.

[Oneironaut]

171. I'm still a little perplexed they could think that was a bobcat.

The cat is orange, has a face that is nothing like a bobcat, and was probably not timid to humans. This seems like a case of stupidity.

Also, is it illegal to hunt in your backyard where she is? It is here.

[City Lights]

173. Who said they thought it was a bobcat?

First I'm hearing this.

[LisaL]

175. Nobody said it.

[City Lights]

177. I figured the poster was confused, but wanted

to give him/her a chance to explain.

[LisaL]

174. You are confused.

They didn't think it was a bobcat. She called the cat a feral tomcat, not a bobcat.
And yes, it's illegal to hunt cats in TX.

[Oneironaut]

182. Ok thx. The term tomcat isn't used much here

That makes more sense, but less sense that she would hunt a feral cat. Wtf

[Lint Head]

179. Oh I wouldn't dare harass her murdering ass.

[tigress12]

183. Vet that killed cat

I hope she loses her license permanently and is never allowed to work with animals ever again or even be around children.Animal abusers work their way up to humans and than she laughs(smiles) about it?She is a disgrace to all other vets that really care about their patients and proving that she is unfit and incompetent in her former career.

In addition,she should also be charged with animal cruelty!
