Consent by owners of pets for vet.students to perform surgery. I strongly support this petition,
 

especially since I had the terrible experience of losing a deeply loved dog on the operating table at Virginia Tech Vet School. Since the Veterinerian had done the procedure successfully before, there was no reason to make the deadly mistake that was done causing our beloved dog to die. I suspected that a student must have done the operation. 

I still feel like I should be compensated for this terrible mistake and re-imbursed with the tremendous amount of money paid them for a butchered procedure and killing our dog.
