The board acted after a Kentucky veterinarian filed a complaint against the 73-year old doctor, objecting to his treatment of the terrier, which had been documented on the TV show.

Can we ever escape the ass in human form?

I’ve seen this guy on TV. He’s pretty cool....and smart....and wise...

[Sacajaweau]

My thing is....why does a vet really need a license?

Frivolous law suit most likely from some busybody, jealous Veterinarian. Good it was thrown out. Meanwhile, this Dr. Pol got even more publicity for his good and charitable deed.

First they came for the doctors, next they came for the vets...

It cited his failure to wear surgical gear (mask, gown, gloves) and to provide the patient with IV therapy. The bureau also faulted Pol for not placing a warming pad or blanket in the dog’s kennel during his recovery.

The dog survived despite the lack of proper sanitary measures and post operative comfort. That's one vet my pets will never go to.

We need more vet’s like Dr. Pol

“Regulatory bureaus are another layer of government that add often unnecessary and sometimes inconsistent applications of force to otherwise peaceful commercial transactions. This is a case in point,”

In one episode either the Doc or his son gave Mrs. Pol a new handgun for her birthday - then proceeded to have some target practice from their deck on their large property. He’s one of the good guys, with over 20,000 clients in his practice.

This is a shining example of bureaucracy serving to serve bureaucracy. I’m reminded of a story of a family that rescued a deer and the deer just hung around their property. The fish and game department came out,killed the deer and fined the family. “We had to kill the deer to protect it.”
