I am asking you for a new comment period.

No regulations should permit a first,second or third yr. student to operate on our aminals and there should be approval from the owner before a forth year is permited. A vet sould be ovserving that student at all times to make sure everything was done correctly or if something does go wrong a vet is there to step right in and take over.

Life is fragile, treat it as so. They are members of our family.

If you that make these decisions can't understand how we feel as well as our animals, you should not be in the position you are in !!!!!!
