Commenter: Pet owner in VA

What if
 

What if this is approved.

And then the worst happens with an inexperience first, second or third year student and a negligent vet.  It will eventually happen as bad things happen.

How does one explain:  the students needed practice and your pet just happened to be the one that suffered and died.   There was a lot of opposition to this at the time it was proposed but we cared more about the students needs than the pets and the pet owner's needs.

Just a thought for consideration.
