She lost the job she had when it happened. Haven't heard a peep about what she's doing now.

(904 posts)and many members have contacted the licensing board, the DA, as well as arranged protests. Unfortunately nothing has happened so far and I'm afraid it won't. Ms. Lindsey comes from means, her mother is politically connected and unbelievably, she has supporters. The group "Justice for the cat killed by Kristen Lindsey" is gaining momentum, not giving up and the page is followed by people from all over the world.
Whether there is justice or not, this group plans on following Ms. Lindsey wherever she goes to make sure people never forget the sick, cruel crime she committed.

(17,600 posts)The cat was someone's pet. An elderly couple's, if I remember correctly.
You don't brag about killing someone's pet and expect people to forget it quickly.

(22,651 posts)Vet got a good lawyer. She may have even paid a settlement to the cats owners to make it go away.
A Vet even a cruel, calus Vet can always find work in rodeo, or slaughterhouse or research lab or Gov. wildlife 'culler'

(112,384 posts)You might want to check that group on occasion to find updates. I believe that the next grand jury meeting will be towards the end of June. Please send me a PM so that I can remember to send updates. I believe that my last post was in the May 27-28 range. I also follow the Brenham Banner-Press since I lived there in 2012 and 2013. I should be able to stay on top of the story within a 24 hour news cycle range.
