Vet Crisis
 

     I support the amendment of this bill. This will open doors and remove barriers that exist that prevent us from finding the help we need at the humane society. We have pets waiting to be spayed and neutered so they can be adopted and clients pets waiting for updates on vaccines.

   Personally I work with TNR in the area trying desperately to help with the over population of cats in the county. We are having to travel 30 miles+ to have these cats neutered...that is only if that facility has vet coverage as well to work us in for an appointment.  The effects of the shortage of vet care is everywhere.

     It really is desperate times in the vet field and the only ones suffering are the animals. If there is a way to help this situation, then it needs to be done. Our shelters and humane society's can not take much more.

   Please amend this to make a difference.
