For 40 years as a veterinarian, compassionate animal care has been my calling. As a State Representative, we have explored the idea of a Veterinary Professional Associate (VPA), in Prop. 129, for three years. After hundreds of hours researching, listening to experts, veterinary economists, the FDA, the USDA, universities, accreditation teams, veterinary liability providers, professional organizations of veterinarians and veterinary technicians, shelters, practice owners, rural folks and animal lovers everywhere…we heard serious safety concerns and barriers, concluding a VPA would be unable to truly help the animals we love.
