Some animal clinics worry about proposed rulesBIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Operators of some nonprofit clinics that spay and neuter animals say new rules being considered by a state board could cause them to close their doors. The Birmingham News reports (http://bit.ly/Uy6Wib) that the proposed rules are under consideration by the Alabama State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners. If approved, the rules would prohibit non-veterinarians from hiring veterinarians and would prohibit non-veterinarians, including non-profit groups, from owning veterinarian equipment. Mark Nelson, executive director of Alabama Spay/Neuter in Irondale, says the rules would make it difficult for his clinic to stay open. The Alabama State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners will hold a public hearing on the rules Oct. 10. The proposed rules indicate the board wants to make sure veterinarians are making all decisions that could affect animals. ___ Information from: The Birmingham News, http://www.al.com/birminghamnews |
