BOARD RULES ONE YEAR SUSPENSION FOR FORMER BRENHAM VET

  

The Texas Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners have suspended the license of a former Brenham veterinarian for one year.

The board ruled this (Tuesday) morning that Kristen Lindsey can't practice for a year. Her suspension will be followed by four years' probation.

Back in April of 2015, Lindsey used a bow and arrow to kill a cat that had wandered onto her property and boasted of the kill online.

Her lawyer, Brian Bishop, told the board she believed the cat was feral and that it isn't unusual for people near her rural home to dispose of feral animals.

Bishop says she shouldn't have posted an image to Facebook, but that she didn't act with "criminal recklessness."

Lindsey has 20 days to request a rehearing.
