Owner consent regulations
 

I am deeply disturbed that the legislature has not seen fit to honor the comments made by pet owners requesting written owner consent when veterinary students will be performing procedures on our pets.  The regulations continue to avoid requiring written consent and totally disregard public outcry.  Another comment period must be allowed so that the voices of the voters can be heard loud and clear, once and for all.  We are the voices that speak out on behalf of our pets and we will be heard.
