I think laying minimum requirements on a haul in facility so to give the board an opportunity to fine a practitioner for non compliance is a good way to stymie a practitioner from investment in such a facility. A haul in facility is a necessity in order to maximize a practitioner’s time management. I think you see this where you work. It takes money and time to develop a haul in. I think the board, by imposing edicts to govern practitioners attempting to improvise a haul in, will simply make rural practice less profitable. In the end, rural practice would be less sustainable and rural clientele offered less services. I feel that the board of veterinary medicine would best serve rural practitioners and their clientele best by allowing each rural practitioner to best define and decide on how to invest their money in facilities with out requirements handed down and inspected by inspectors that have little idea of the needs and responsibilities of a food animal practitioner.
