As usual, there is a little more to it than the article indicates. "Both of these individuals were fined by the Commonwealth for the illegal practice of veterinary medicine in the past. Ethan Wentworth was fined $3,000 and ordered to Cease and Desist in 2018 (Docket No 1928-57-17; File No 16-57-05621) Rusty Herr was fined $3,500 and ordered to Cease and Desist in 2010 (Docket No 2296-57-09; File No 09-57-05797)."

The fight apparently stems from allegations the two were practicing veterinary medicine without a license for running ultrasound test on cattle, a procedure that is common for farmers to use for various reasons.

The result was an investigation by the state of Pennsylvania, where officials demanded that the two turn over their records.

They failed to do what state officials demanded, and the report notes that resulted in contempt orders against the men.

The state's court officials told the broadcast outlet that there is no option for bail, and no "sentencing hearing" required for contempt charges. Authorities simply arrest the suspects and jail them, the report said.

The Pennsylvania Veterinary Medicine Association has received multiple complaints from veterinarians about the illegal practice of veterinary medicine by unlicensed individuals employed by NoBull Solutions LLC. The company's Facebook page advertises "all encompassing reproductive management" for dairy farmers.

Reports from our members, as well as documentary evidence on their own Facebook page show non-veterinarians using ultrasounds and making diagnoses.

The operating partners of NoBull Solutions LLC are Rusty Herr and Evan Wentworth. Both of these individuals were fined by the Commonwealth for the illegal practice of veterinary medicine in the past. Ethan Wentworth was fined $3,000 and ordered to Cease and Desist in 2018 (Docket No 1928-57-17; File No 16-57-05621) Rusty Herr was fined $3,500 and ordered to Cease and Desist in 2010 (Docket No 2296-57-09; File No 09-57-05797). In spite of this hoth individuals continue to practice veterinary medicine without a license and have hired others to do the same.

Attached to this complaint are screen shots of the Facebook pages of NoBull Solutions LLC, Rusty Herr and Ethan Wentworth. While the Facebook page for NoBull does not list any employees, Mr. Herr and Mr. Wentworth identify themselves as operating partners on their personal Facebook pages. The screenshots of the company page include photographs of Mr. Herr performing an ultrasound on a horse and a shared post from Dylan Brantner, an employee of NoBull Solutions LLC, stating that he performed an ultrasound.

Since these individuals continue to practice veterinary medicine without a license after their initial Order to Cease and Desist, we request that the state file contempt charqes with Commonwealth Court.

Ultrasound? Yeah, that might kill an animal. You know how dangerous those things are. Could roast its insides or something.

And of course we need Bureaucrats throwing people in jail.

I am reminded of Rush Limbaugh's story about the woman who was braiding hair, and how all the other "licensed" hair salons objected and sicced the authorities on her.

Apparently you need a license to braid hair, in Colorado, I think.

More credentialism and guild protection going on here, which is another thing wrong with our society and our governing system.
