Please sign and help: With only one and a half semesters left to complete her degree, our dear friend Jamie Scott was denied her DVM (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine) license at Ross University after challenging the killing and harming of innocent lives in the name of education. Denied the hard-earned credentials that would have helped her secure a job saving animals, she was summarily dismissed from Ross. Jamie Scott originally attended Ross University because she was informed that she would not have to perform surgeries she considered unethical. However, the university mandated that she partake in the killing of animals in order to graduate. Jamie was threatened with being flunked if she did not perform terminal surgeries, and was harassed and unfairly discriminated against on account of her views concerning animals. Ultimately she was unjustly dismissed despite saving numerous animals’ lives. Ross University requires students to operate on healthy animals who are then killed or “terminated” at the end of their surgical procedures. Terminal surgeries involve anesthetizing healthy animals including sheep, goats and donkeys and subjecting them to procedures that they dont need, such as tracheostomies, gastrotomies, and joint taps. Many veterinary schools have replaced such terminal surgeries with effective and humane teaching tools. These humane alternatives include willed body cadaver donation programs, anatomy models, and survival surgeries performed under close faculty supervision such as spays, castrations, and mass removals on animals who actually benefit from the procedures. The school continues to ignore requests to reinstate Jamie, including disregarding signed letters of endorsement from three practicing veterinarians. It’s time for Ross University to reinstate Jamie without prejudice so she can complete her degree. Any student is entitled to the right to opt out of procedures which involve killing animals unnecessarily. Jamie was a person who attempted to honor the value of life and every animals will to live. Please support this very important issue by signing and sharing the petition to have Jamie reinstated.
