Thanks! Is there anything in that article that concerns you?
It sounds like the Vet School sourced animals from an accredited/licensed vendor, treated them well, and adopted them out. I have zero point zero issues with that.
Should they have better vetted the source? Eh, maybe? But again, that's not their job. The facility WAS vetted by the appropriate authorities and apparently passed. How is that on VT?
