I am starting to feel bad about criticising Kristen Lindsey (KL) for her infamous cat cruelty but she deserves it so I stop feeling bad. In my most recent article, I mentioned that someone who knew her said that she had a drink/drugs problem.
Well, here is some evidence which indicates that it is true. KL has been nicked (arrested) for drink driving – driving while intoxicated (DWI) – and will appear at the Harris County Court on May 9th (Cause No. 2081246). This has been reported on the Tiger’s Justice Team News.
KL was arrested at 1:22 am on March 21st in Houston. She had been breathalyzed which indicated a blood alcohol concentration almost twice the legal limit.
DWI is a class A misdemeanour in the state of Texas for first offence. KL was released on bail on a $1000 surety (bond).
KL now has to comply with certain conditions until her trial. These are:
- being forbidden to use, possess or consume any alcohol, controlled substances or prescription drug not lawfully prescribed.
- submit to random drug testing
- pay for the random drug test
- have an ignition interlock device (see below) fitted on her main car
- forbidden to drive any vehicle without said device installed
An ignition interlock device or breath alcohol ignition interlock device (IID and BAIID) is a breathalyzer for an individual’s vehicle (so says Wikipedia).
The device requires the driver to blow into a mouthpiece before starting the vehicle. The car won’t start if the alcohol level is too high. KL’s lawyer in this matter is William “Wes” Weston Rucker III.
Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) state that a when a driver is caught DWI for the first time, on average, that person has done the same thing without being caught 80 times. If that is true for KL, not only is she a major hazard to cats and other animals but to other road users too.

Well…
She is/was a vet, she has made known that she has an interest in killing animals, she gets a DUI in the midst of her troubles over killing Tiger, and she is in possession of a weapon (bow/arrow) as well as a vehicle. It seems that she has a few “licenses to kill”.
While you pay others to torture animals for you just to feed your cats. Not to mention the billions of animals that you torture to death yearly by using them for your cat’s writhing and screeching play-toys, and all their offspring that starve-to-death because their parents were tortured to death by your cats and never return to nurture and raise them. Yeah, you’re all fine people to talk about the suffering and deaths of animals, aren’t you. Excuse me while I go throw-up for having come even this close to the likes of any of you.
Jace. thanks for commenting but I think you need to clarify what you want to say. I guess you are saying that livestock is treated poorly and that cats prey on other animals. The latter is a failing of humans and the former is natural behavior which can be curbed by human cat caretaking.
Shut up Jim!
I advocate humane farming and have long before it was popular to speak out. There will always be a divide between those who have extreme views on either side of an issue. Most humans fall in the middle.
Predation is natural I think though you will find that most people here advocate cats being kept indoor or in secure outdoor structures where they can enjoy time outside without posing a threat to wildlife or being in danger of injury.
I might add that as much as I detest people like my neighbors who have little to no concern for their pets long term welfare it is the extremist fraction that is the real stumbling block for change in how animals are viewed. You want the sun the moon and the stars and not only that you are willing to devalue human rights to get them.
I suggest you go have a grow up moment.
Right on!!! Dee!!!
She MUST lose her license permanently!! She is obviously not fit to practice veterinary medicine!! EVER AGAIN!!!
