unsupervised vet student training
 

I couldn't be more appalled to learn that vet students are performing procedures without supervision  and without the written consent of the animals' owners.  I was further appalled to be made aware that past efforts to address the issues involved went ignored.  A new comment period needs to be opened and serious consideration given to addressing all the concerns being raised by myself and others.
