Opposing this change in teaching animal behavior classes
 

This proposal offers nothing new to the curriculum of LVTs. In fact, it makes it more difficult to get teachers for an animal behavior class in LVT school. The animal behavior class that is already taught in school is taught by veterinarians. This proposal limits the people available to teach this type of class to about 50 people in the nation with this type of higher education in animal behavior. It's important that we support the current accreditation of LVTs, not make it more difficult for schools to offer classes that already exist.
