The AMVA Released a Statement

Monday (April 20) 3:53: p.m. The Texas State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners has opened an investigation into Kristen Lindsey, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association. The Board, which issues veterinarians a license to practice in Texas, has said it is aware of the incident but will not confirm or deny whether there is an investigation. The AMVA released a statement about the incident. It reads: “We, too, were shocked and appalled by this image when we saw it. Every veterinarian takes an oath that states in part that they will “use my scientific knowledge and skills for the benefit of society through the protection of animal health and welfare, the prevention and relief of animal suffering.” We are confident that the legal system and licensing board will take appropriate action, and we will continue to monitor the situation.”
