Shame On The Oregon Vet Board!
This petition was published by Stefani Olsen on Apr 16, 2006
We, the undersigned, express our shock and outrage at the actions of Oregon's State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners in the case of Lee Anderson, the unlicensed individual whose botched castrations led to the death of a horse.
By reducing fines against Mr. Anderson from $20,000 to $500, we believe the Oregon Vet Board has abandoned its mission to "protect animal health and welfare, public health, and consumers of veterinary services" and shown instead a desire to act in the interests of those very perpetrators it is mandated to discipline and regulate.
We call upon the State Veterinary Board of Oregon to re-evaluate this decision, which constitutes a dereliction of duty.
