It was a website called Conservative Reason which started the GoFundMe fund raising campaign with the intention of raising money for Kristen Lindsey the now notorious cat-killing vet.
As it happens the campaign was deleted by the GoFundMe website as it was in breach of their rules – a violation of their terms and conditions:
“which include prohibitions against “Campaigns in defense of formal charges of heinous crimes, including violent, hateful, or sexual acts”
Great, GoFundMe consider her cat killing a heinous crime. The Conservative Reason website makes a startling statement:
“Although Dr. Lindsey is an avid hunter and Christian, we’re not going to claim that this is an “attack on hunters” or an “attack on Christians.”
They admit that deleting the crowd funding campaign is not an attack on Christians. What concerns me is that the editor of Conservative Reason is almost certainly a Christian and that Lindsey is both a hunter and a Christian. How can a Christian defend such a nasty act of cat cruelty? A misguided attitude.
Are these two personal characteristics meant to go together: Christian and sport hunter? Aren’t Christians meant to be kind, caring individuals who respect all living creatures? Aren’t Christians meant to set high standards of integrity and morality? Apparently not.
Christians are no better and no worse than the rest of us, which makes me question the reason for being a Christian.
One person who left a comment on the Conservative Reason website says that Christians have the right to harvest animals. I disagree with that of course but it is irrelevant in this instance quite clearly.
The photo shows Kristen Lindsey and her mother. Her mother condones what her daughter did. There is a petition to remove her as county treasurer. They are both Republicans, apparently. I suppose that is obvious to Americans.

Michael,some Wiccans feel such as myself a deep connection with nature that they refuse to consume animal products. Many Wiccans are vegetarian or vegan however there is no consensus among the Wiccan community and the requirement of abstaining from consuming meat is by no means universal. Virtually all Wiccans are, however, against cruelty to animals or needless destruction of a natural space, due in no small part to Wiccan beliefs.
My fav quote is (Ye were not born eating meat but taught and now it is ye personal choice to refrain or consume!
Thanks Angie for commenting on this. I believe that too many people who call themselves Christians do not have true Christian values.
🙂 Nice thought. I am not sure what the Wiccan faith is but if it is that nature is our god then I am a Wiccan.
There are some humans in this world who just need to be eradicated for the better good.
I wouldn’t be surprised if someone assassinated this wench.
Thanks for sharing Teresa. I have strong views on sport hunting. I don’t see a place for it in the world. There is no need for it in America. People don’t need to hunt animals to eat in the US. There is a strong argument that humans are herbivores. We should be eating plants 😉 . Not shooting animals for the pleasure of it.
