"This is a great victory, but not the final victory. The process will take time."

Lindsey put up the gruesome Facebook post in April. (You can see it here.) She was fired from the Washington Animal Clinic in Brenham, Texas, soon thereafter. But a grand jury found "insufficient proof" to charge her with a crime.
