In an extraordinary and desperate attempt to get her veterinary license back, Kristen Lindsey (KL), through her attorney Brian Bishop, has argued that Tiger’s owners tacitly consented to KL’s killing of Tiger with an arrow to the head. The phrase that the attorney used in his written argument is “apparently assented”.
KL is challenging the decision to suspend her license by an application for judicial review of the decision by the Texas Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners (“the board”). As I understand it she is doing this by arguing that two of the board’s rules are invalid and unlawful. She won’t win this one.
In short KL wants her license back and she is finding any way possible to achieve that goal even when the argument is as bizarre as the one presented by her lawyer.
The idea of Tiger’s owners giving her consent to kill their cat comes from the law itself. The law is Texas Penal Code 42.092. It states that a person commits an offence [of animal cruelty] if “without the owner’s effective consent, kills….an animal'”
This weird phrase “effective consent” is puzzling. KL’s lawyer appears to have used it to dream up a defense to his client’s criminal behaviour. The lawyer is arguing that as KL had implied permission to kill Tiger she has not committed a crime and therefore her license should be reinstated.
According to the Justice for Tiger FB page, in Texas a person can kill an animal on their land if the owner of the animal gives consent. This is very odd and I can’t fathom it out. However, KL’s attorney has argued that as Tiger’s owners know Texas animal welfare laws they gave their tacit consent to the killing of Tiger when he walked across a field rented by KL. On a common sense basis this argument is hopeless. It is a measure of the desperation of KL’s attorney to find something, anything to get her off.
To add insult to injury KL has never apologised to Tiger’s owners. Also she refused to admit that she killed Tiger. She must have argued she killed some other cat. It was proved she had killed Tiger. And to show the world what a nasty individual KL is she refused to return Tiger’s body to his owners for cremation having been asked to do so. She probably did this as a means to defend herself and muddy the case against her. It just goes to show how nasty this has become.
It has to be said too that the lawyers argument is hurtful to Tiger’s owners. It is insulting and immoral. I’d be livid if I was the owner.
The results of the hearing to reinstate her license is due out at any time. Elisa Black-Taylor will report on it the moment she hears. I presume that KL’s parents are paying her legal fees and the tax payer is paying the fees of the lawyers acting for the board. They’ll be expensive.
Note: the word “tacit” means: understood or implied without being stated. The word “assented” means: express approval or agreement.

What a nasty piece of work. The statement “… she refused to return Tiger’s body to his owners for cremation having been asked to do so.” says so much. Not only is KL not worthy of veterinary practice, she is also contemptuous towards the court.
I’m not an attorney, but isn’t it bad to not carry out the court’s orders?
She is bad in more than one way. She is doing all she can to get off. I don’t think this was a court order. It was a request from the owner.
She has a lot to answer for. Praise God that I won’t be in her shoes on Judgment Day.
Yes. The trouble is she does not recognise the fact that she has done wrong.
I just want to add something here. What is going on with Tigers murder and the walking personality disorder named Kristen Lindsey is why we didn’t purse district court after we lost in small claims. After that we knew how to win. The trouble is you don’t win against crazy. We would have won and she would have found a way to appeal and drag us into courts where the fees for lawyers were out of reach. We were on a path that led nowhere.
This works for us. She can claim anything she wants. Everyone here knows what happened. She’s out of business. What she did to our little cat will follow her to the grave and beyond because I’ll be there to make sure it does. And that is the only way to deal with the likes of KL. They are unredeemable. Tiger needs to be the albatross around this woman’s neck for the rest of her life.
It’s not what they did. It’s what they did when caught.
Kristen Lindsey can say whatever she likes. Every word that comes out of her mouth makes her look even more ignorant and ludicrous. She belongs with the psycho dentist Walter Palmer that killed Cecil the Lion. How is it possible for these subhumans to even exist at that level of insanity in the real world? They really seem deranged. Who could ever patronize either one knowing what they did? They both instill an uneasy sense of fear in me just looking at their pictures.
Yep – agreed. And to think she is a veterinarian. She probably thinks she is a good vet too. Deranged.
Remember, she’s awesome! Who would want to fire her? Sheesh.
I’d fire her alright…set her on fire! Burn bitch BURN!!!
My personal opinion. Her lawyer should be disbarred for malpractice.
The similarities between Lindsey and VetFromHell( my own personal demon ) struck me early on. Neither is capable of taking responsibility for their own poor choices and self inflicted wounds and both have a mess of acolytes supporting the nonsense. Worse you realize this isn’t just avoiding responsibility they really think they have done nothing wrong. In fact they can tell you why it was justified.
A normal person would have taken their lumps. Most criminals even know the value of at least seeming repentant.
This behavior should be used to pull her license for life in Texas.
Yes, ME, KL actually believes she has done nothing wrong. It must be a form of psychosis. And her lawyer has made a submission to the court which insults and is hurtful to Tiger’s owner. But he has to dream up anything to get her off. That’s his job. An unpleasant job.
She’s a sociopath, has an over inflated view of her own self worth, never does anything wrong, everything is always someone else’s fault…. she should get a menial job somewhere because while she keeps churning this over its going to stay in the public domain and she’s going to be vilified all the more. If her lawyer had any brains his advice would be to apologise to Tigers family yet there again he probably gap but sociopaths don’t apologise do they?
I agree, I think she has an unshakeable belief in her values which is sad because her values are awful. Her parents stoke up her self-belief. It is a form of arrogance combined with ignorance.
Well if that’s the case, she should be shot in the head with an arrow. That would cure her “pshycosis”.
A lot people have similar thoughts!
