Owner consent required
 

As a citizen and pet owner I cannot suport these regulations without a requirement for owner consent for student performance of any task which ordinarily requires licensure.  I request that the process begin again, with another comment period. I remind you that regulations are not in place to protect veterianrians - they are there to protect innocent animals.  You can and must do better.
