While all of us animal lovers would have wanted to see her burned at the stake, it wasn't going to happen. At least she has been put through the wringer for a while now, and is paying the price for the next year. Plus, she will have a problem finding any legitimate vet to hire her even then.
It won't bring back that poor kitty, but she did not get off scott free.
I will certainly be watching her, and keeping her name out there.
License suspended for ONE YEAR? That isn't nearly enough! This woman should never work with animals again.
I think anybody else would have jail time and she should too. What if some black kid did the exact same thing? The crime is the crime regardless of who commits it.
Wow, some of the comments on that thread, what awful people. Not surprised at the ridiculous "sentence" she received, killing animals is a favorite hobby for so many and they see nothing wrong with it.
The really sad part about all this is that the only thing she really learned from this incident, is not to post her 'accomplishments' on social media. I doubt that that this will be the last time an animal dies needlessly at her hands. She doesn't seem to think there's anything wrong with killing animals, regardless of the circumstances, and no amount of 'education', or public backlash is going to change that.
I can only hope that her reputation will force her into another line of work, but I doubt that will happen. Memories fade over time, and what she did won't follow her forever. I'm all for giving people a second chance after making a mistake, but only if they realize they made one in the first place. I don't think that applies to her, so IMO she doesn't deserve one.

Couldn't agree more, but I do hope those of us who care about animals will remember her name and face and refuse to patronize any vet clinic which hires her, once her suspension is over.
Question is, why be a vet if you're that kind of person? She certainly lacks sympathy, empathy and a sincere love for animals. Why not be something else?
Completely inappropriate response. Her license should have been taken away from her. The woman is a psychopath. Someone who supposedly loves animals enough to make them her life's work should not think that shooting a cat with a crossbow is acceptable.
