It is actually suggested by the DNR to kill ferral cats when seen, but I certainly do not support such views, nor would I ever kill a ferral cat. Heck, I don't kill bobcats or mountain lions either, which are just making thier way in life and certainly slaughter their share of raccoons.
What's the DNR...Department of Natural Resources? For what state?
I'm happy to see that everyone agrees that her behavior was egregious. And hopefully, she won't be a practicing vet for much longer. I can't imagine bringing a pet to this woman for care. And I can't imagine that any vet clinic or hospital will want this woman on their staff, either. She clearly has no business being a vet.
This.
And the other poster who made the point about this being like a pediatrician bragging on child abuse is also perfectly appropriate. For a vet, this story is like the ultimate betrayal of societal trust.
I notice that there are both lefties and righties on this thread. But we're all on this same page with this matter. This woman is deranged.
I've noticed that too. I'm not a "lib" but I'm not a rock ribbed "conservative" either but EVERY poster on this thread I agree with and so do my 2 cats.
Feral cat, feral hog, feral deer...what exactly is the difference?
All killers who take pleasure in killing are sickos.
Feral cats are not a natural part of the environment. They're an introduced predator than can kill massive amounts of animals every year. Humans have a huge blind spot for feral cats when they really, really shouldn't.

Dunno about anyone else, but I don't have a blind spot when it comes to feral cats.
I just have a huge problem with what kind of person would use them for target practice just because they're there.

I get that.
All feral and invasive species are generally damaging to the environment. I just think that anyone who thinks it's fun to make something die is pretty twisted.
And that includes the millions of hunters who buy licenses to do the same thing.

The most humane thing to do is trap them and get them neutered/spayed.

Makes me wonder why she wasted her time doing something that saves animals, just to turn around and kill an innocent one. She must have other issues and this was just the start or was it???
Since the 1970"s, research has consistently reported childhood cruelty to animals as the first warning sign of later delinquency, violence, and criminal behavior. In fact, nearly all violent crime perpetrators have a history of animal cruelty in their profiles. Albert deSalvo, the Boston Strangler found guilty of killing 13 women, shot arrows through dogs and cats he trapped as a child. Columbine shooters Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold boasted about mutilating animals for fun.
So...this woman didn't actually kill this cat. Someone else did. She just posted a picture on fb. At least that's how I read the article.
