Comment Period | Ended on 7/27/2016 |
As the mother of four wonderful animals, two dogs and two cats, I am writing to express my objection to allowing first year veterinary students to practice on animals. With only one year of experience, they do not have the necessary qualifications to practice. A first year doctor wouldn't be allowed to practice on human patients, neither should a first year veterinary student. I strongly urge you to reconsider this decision and extend the period for comments.
