Object and Request New Comment Period
 

I object to the approval of these regulations without a requirement for owner consent for student performance of any task which ordinarily  requires licensure.   You ignored the public in the last comment period.  The vast majority of those who commented said that they were opposed unless full consent was required for all student practice.  Many explicitly said that a sign in the office saying "students working here" is unacceptable.  I request that the process begin again with  another comment period.  This time, please pay attention to the public!   These are our animals you are planning to let students treat.
