You all remember the infamous Veterinarian Dr. Barber from Tennessee who was euthanizing animals via IC with no sedation? After racking up 22,000$ in fees paid to him by the state for the animals he killed in this horrific method, "Dr" Barber was videotaped undercover, and brought up on malpractice charges by a jury of his peers. He was found to have committed malpractice, and the case was going to court. At that point, all information on the case appeared to go underground. In their infinite wisdom (insert MAJOR sarcasm here), the AVMA has decided to reinstate the "fine" Dr. They had ordered him to attend classes on humane euthanization methods...the man is a VET...he is quite knowledgeable about the level of pain he was causing with utilizing IC without sedating animals first. This procedure is also STRICTLY against AVMA guidelines! Why did they choose to allow this man to continue practicing when it is evident he has no concern for the animals he purports to CARE for??? Much like the case of Hannah, whose owner appears untouchable by the legal system and Senator Kent Williams, who STILL has not been cited for violating the law of SC which states that ALL animals adopted from a shelter be spayed/neutered within 30 days or a fine of 500$ could be levied; it appears that the law is being applied in very different ways! Just an aside....if you have a moment, read the AVMA Guidelines for Humane Care...you might just be surprised at what you find. It reads like a Stephen King novel.... Dawn Restuccia....
