Veterinary Student practicing on animals
 

We don't feel tt is correct for students to practice on animals.  For many of us, these are our children and we pay a great deal to keep them healthy.  People want the very best for their animals that bother to take them to a Vet. for care and we deserve the best.  To many things can go wrong even with a legitimate vet.  Please don't allow this.  Assisting a veterinarian to help gain their skills is one thing, but to take the job on themselves is not right.  If it were  an emergency and there was no other choice, this should be something the person bringing the pet in should have to sign.
