What Is It With These Veterinarians Nowadays?

The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office [Louisiana] arrested a Harahan veterinarian accused of fatally shooting her neighbor's dog because of constant barking, authorities said.

Dr. Kelly Folse, 35, was booked Tuesday (Dec. 19) with aggravated animal cruelty, according to interim Sheriff Joseph Lopinto. Folse was also booked with illegal discharge of a firearm and two counts of drug possession after investigators found undisclosed narcotics at her home in the 8900 block of Camille Drive in River Ridge.
You might remember another veterinarian who ended up being suspended for a year (if not longer) for killing a neighbor's pet cat, a cat which apparently was still alive when she posed for her trophy photo and which, to a reasonably trained observer (like a veterinarian) wasn't a feral cat.

What is it with these clowns? Do they not realize that, given their profession, that engaging in acts of animal cruelty, besides being illegal, is a ticket to professional oblivion?

with their talent and intelligence we have to be thankful they didn't become people doctors.

What I've heard is that it is harder to get into vet school than into med school. so they could have been people doctors.

I can understand but not in this case forgive them for being tired of work? I was an auto mechanic for 25 plus years and generally I hate cars now. Especially F'd up old junkers. Again, not trying to forgive them but generally there are 2 sides to every story, right?
Then again, there are really screwed up people in every profession.

'Tis said that half the doctors in Texas went to med school because they couldn't get into Aggie Vet.
