By now most have you have probably heard about the case of a veterinarian in Texas who allegedly shot a feral cat with a bow and arrow. This came to light because she posted this photo on Facebook and bragged about it.

Why the hype around this story? Is it because of our expectation of veterinarians? Is it because in general, hunting, trapping and many forms of recreational hunting are accepted and encouraged in the veterinary field? Is this victim particularly offensive?

Just asking question here, don't know the answers. But one thing I do know is that this woman is a human being and the people calling for her death and for her to be mutilated by arrows are no "better" that they think she is.

This is a cautionary tale. It is not likely that this is an isolated case. Local, humane, etc have become buzz words. Are consumers feeling guilty about eating factory raised meat? If you really want to be sure your meat is humanely raised, antibiotic and hormone free you need to do your homework.

Impressed that someone at the slaughterhouse spoke up. They probably saw obvious signs for a long time.



It isn't just livestock that can spread diseases from one area to another. Puppy transport has done the same thing. To the uneducated it may seem innocent but the truth is, large scale movement of animals without proper regulation and veterinary oversight is dangerous and inhumane. The farmer may take a financial hit but the disease outbreak would cause terrible physical suffering and likely death to the animals. What do you think?
