Diane Matt, CEO of the CVMA and Dr. Janet Donlin, CEO of the AVMA, wrote in a November 5 op-ed for Colorado Politics: “Tere is no ‘gap’ in veterinary services. Te proposed VPA duplicates the work veterinarians and veterinary technicians already perform. Veterinarians diagnose, prognose, develop treatment plans, prescribe and perform surgery. Veterinary technicians can do anything else. In fact, Colorado recently passed a law that supports veterinarians in delegating appropriate duties to their veterinary technicians and expands their role. Te VPA role, if authorized by Proposition 129, would put inadequately trained individuals with a mostly online master’s degree into medical decision- making roles and allow them to perform surgery, which jeopardizes the safety of Colorado’s animals and the future of veterinary care.”
More than 200 national and local veterinary, humane, and breeders’ organizations; veterinary clinics; veterinarians; veterinary technicians; and pet owners opposed the measure. Among them were the American Animal Hospital Association, Feline Veterinary Medical Association, American Association of Equine Practitioners, American Association of Bovine Practitioners, American Association of Swine Veterinarians, American Association of Avian Pathologists, American Association of Small Ruminant Practitioners, American Association of Food Safety and Public Health Veterinarians, Relief Veterinary Medical Association, American Board of Veterinary Practitioners, American Veterinary Dental College, Student AVMA, Veterinary Management Groups, American Humane, and the American Kennel Club.
