AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - The Texas Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners has moved to revoke the license of a veterinarian who bragged about fatally shooting a cat with a bow and arrow.

The Houston Chronicle reports (https://bit.ly/1VvAmSX ) that the board filed a formal complaint against Dr. Kristen Lindsey on Wednesday.

According to the complaint, Lindsey shot an orange male cat through the head with a bow and arrow on April 15. She posted a photo of herself on Facebook, smiling and holding up the arrow with the cat hanging from its shaft.



The board’s complaint stated that the cat, named Tiger, was a neighbor’s pet.

The Austin County district attorney presented its investigation of Lindsey to an Austin County grand jury on June 24, but the grand jury declined to indict her.
