allowing students to treat animals - ABSOLUTELY NOT!
 

I absolutely oppose any type of scenario that allows a student to practice vet medicine. I have brought several pets to VT for special treatments and I would not have allowed them to be treated by someone who is not a licensed vet.  I could have received that type of treatment at home.  I came to VT for their level of expertise (NOT students), and knowledge.
