Please share and please Vote no on prop 129!!! Educate yourself on how dangerous this can be for your pet. No one should be allowed to practice medicine, prescribe meds and definitely not be able to do surgery on your pet with only 3 semesters of education!!! ( just FYI It takes 8 years minimum to become a veterinarian). Worse this education requires NO surgical on hand labs, can all be done on line, and has no testing to prove they know their information before they get their degree. Let that sink in that someone can legally cut open your pet with no surgical experience at all, or diagnose and prescribe meds to your pet with less experience then our certified veterinary technicians!!!!!

Veterinarians in Colorado are opposed to Proposition 129 and they are speaking out about it. Hear a local vet explain why adding a mid-level position will endanger animals and not result in better clinical outcomes for animals. Gain a new perspective on this critical issue and understand what is at....
