restart the comment period regarding student veterinarians
 

I object to the approval of regulations which allow a student to perform any task of treating an animal that otherwise requires a licenced practioner.  Past comment periods demonstrated that an overwhelming majority of those commenting were opposed unless full consent had been granted for the full student practice.  An office sign stating:  Sudents Working Here is not acceptable.  It is necessary, but not sufficient.  I subsequently request that the process for a new comment period begin again.
