FORMER BRENHAM VET TO APPEAR BEFORE STATE BOARD TUESDAY

  

The Brenham veterinarian who came under scrutiny after she killed a cat with a bow and arrow is expected to appear before the Texas Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners on Tuesday.

The board has scheduled a final hearing for Kristin Lindsey in Austin. Lindsey created a social media storm when she posted a picture of herself holding a dead cat with an arrow through its head on her Facebook page in April of 2015.

The board had previously voted to revoke Lindsey’s license, however she appealed the ruling to the State Office of Administration Hearings. Two administrative judges recommended Lindsey to be allowed to return to practicing veterinary medicine after one year, followed by four years of regular monitoring and reporting of any complaints against her.

After Tuesday’s hearing, Lindsey will have a 20 day period to request a rehearing if she disagrees with the board’s final decision.
