Why wouldn't they be?I am checking with my vet to see if minors are allowed to assist in surgical prep.If they are being supervised I don't understand the harm in it. No one said anything about immaturity, I know but it all goes back to that. This is like saying I, A 16 year old, shouldn't be allowed to volunteer at my local shelter. I have gotten this from so many adults who don't trust me. I've been a volunteer there for 6 months now and this lady who thinks she knows it all, and who has been a volunteer a grand total of 2 months, always comes up to me and asks me if I'm a volunteer. She asked me the last time I was there why I was walking a large dog? BECAUSE I CAN HANDLE IT. I can handle animals perfectly fine, I'm not going to drop one, hurt one, or do something stupid and immature with it. This may come as a surprise to some of you but being an adult doesn't make you an automatic professional in Veterinary Science. If this is something I am interested in doing, why shouldn't I be allowed to gain experience along with my college degree in it? Why not start young? I'm sorry I just don't understand the mentality of not trusting younger people to be able to do things like this.
You can call me rude or whatever you like and you can say you only feel this way because you are a minor. No, that's not true either. Things like this just annoy me. The only two people who have EVER trusted me full on 100% with animals/pets is my Agriscience Teacher and my parents. They have never worried about animals in my hands. I'm not going to deliberatly hurt an animal, never ever ever ever would I ever do that.
