New comment period requested
 

I absolutely cannot approve of these regulations without a requirement for owner consent for student performance of any task which ordinarily requires licensure. As a medical professional, I cannot undertand why the veterianry board has refused to listen to the public over the past several months. I request that the process begin again, with another comment period.  I am trusting that you will do the right thing in remembering that it is our innocnet pets whom you have been charged with protecting.
