Veterinarians are in such short supply. Why would add more hoops and regulations to haul in facilities when they provide such a needed resource! Many farmers don’t have livestock handling facilities. Haul in clinics provide a safe working environment with humane handling conditions that improve overall welfare. If more regulations make it harder for haul in facilities to stay in business, or for new businesses to open, you are hurting the farmer. In areas where vets are in such short supply, immediate assistance would be even harder to obtain when they have to drive up to a hundred plus miles while the animals are suffering and dying instead of farmers being able to meet at the clinic and saving time and their livelihoods life. Please consider with some rationality that farmers need access to haul in facilities. We don’t need higher costs, less vets and more stress.
