I support the changes described in the formal petition Lee Henkel has published at Change.org because I think they are realistic and reasonable. People who are paying to have their pet diagnosed and treated by a licensed veterinarian are entitled to expect that their pet will be diagnosed and treated by the vet, not a student. While some veterinary procedures (like giving rabies shots) are routine, and most pet owners would probably prefer to have them handled by students who might offer a reduced fee, I think pet owners have a right to insist that the fully licensed veterinarian of their choice handle diagnostic and surgical procedures.
