Over the opposition of animal welfare groups that closely followed the case, a Brenham veterinarian who killed a cat with a bow and arrow has received a one-year full suspension, followed by four years of working in her field on a probationary basis.
The Texas State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners made the decision Tuesday after a three-hour morning hearing in Austin, according to a board spokeswoman.
