BRENHAM (April 17, 2015) A Washington County veterinarian is at the center of a social media firestorm, has lost her job, and could face charges, after bragging about killing a cat with a bow and arrow.

Dr. Kristen Lindsey, DVM, posted a picture on her Facebook page of her holding an arrow that is sticking through the head of a dead cat.

The post reads “My first bow kill, lol. The only good feral tomcat is one with an arrow through it's head! Vet of the year award ... Gladly accepted."

The post quickly went viral and prompted numerous calls to the Brenham Police Department and Washington County Animal Control.

Brenham police say the cat was shot in Austin County.

The Austin County Sheriff’s Office told KBTX-TV it is investigating.

Sheriff Jack Brandes says he sent deputies out to New Wehdem Road Friday morning where the incident occurred.

Lindsey worked for the Washington Animal Clinic in Brenham, but she was fired on Friday.

In the comment section of her post, she wrote “no I did not lose my job. Lol. Psshh. Like someone would get rid of me. I’m awesome!”

KBTX-TV earlier contacted the clinic to speak with Lindsey, but was told she is not available and that the clinic has no comment about the incident at this time.

The clinic’s website was getting so much traffic that it crashed.

Lindsey later removed her post and then pulled down her Facebook page.
