Talk Texas Horses in Austin Protect Horse Owners and Equine Dental Practitioners

From Monopolistic Licensing Scheme

When: Tuesday, April 22, 2008 at 7:00pm

Where: Sheraton-Austin Hotel

701 East 11th Street

Austin, TX 78701

Who: Texas horse owners

Current and future equine dental practitioners

Lawyers from the Institute for Justice

Town Hall Meeting

Bureaucrats in Austin have concocted a monopolistic licensing scheme that will force Texas entrepreneurs out of work while forcing horse owners to pay more for lower-quality care.

In a story that garnered national media attention by being featured in The Economist magazine, the Texas State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners has already begun legal proceedings against equine dental practitioners while refusing to even discuss its actions with the public.

As Texans know, horse tooth care requires skill, experience and horsemanship – not a blatantly anti-competitive regulation that serves the sole purpose of maximizing the incomes of largely untrained, unqualified, ill-equipped veterinarians at the expense of horse owners and Texas entrepreneurs.

LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD!!!

Because the Board continues to be unaccountable to the public, on Tuesday, April 22, Texans from around the state will gather to discuss this important issue, the lawsuit that was filed on behalf of equine dental practitioners by the Institute for Justice and to shine some light on the Board’s outrageous actions.

To RSVP please visit (www.ij.org/horsetalk) or contact Krissy Keys at the Institute for Justice at 703-682-9320 or kkeys@ij.org.

For room reservations, call (512) 478-1111 and ask for the Institute for Justice rate.
