Jan is a well respected senior Vet who has done immense work in the Hall area including our horses – hopefully this will pass

Just because she cares about animals and not the money doesn’t make her a bad person, she has been one of the most respected veterans for years who only has the animals best interest on her mind.

Thanks ACT Police for protecting the public from the harm she is inflicting on people who seek her out. Really though it’s a shame that the police-hierarchy are cherry picking her ‘crime’ as worthy of this type of a response. Who are the police-hierarchy trying to placate? Not the public that’s for sure.

Just exactly what “harm” was she “inflicting on people who seek her out”? Can someone explain please? From the comments I have seen from “people who seek her out” she seems to have “harmed” quite a few animals on the way to recovery at least! Or eased some of their pain and suffering when the time came. And she was mindful of their owners’ loss without adding to their distress by charging exorbitant fees. That’s what I call a vet – wish there a few more like her.

Jan is an animal lover and a very kind and compassionate human being. Recently my son raised a roster from an egg and became very attached to him. When we realised we were no longer able to house him, I tried every single animal sanctuary and protective organisation and was turned away each time. When I called Jan and begged her for help, she took our roster in and offered him a wonderful home. She did not have the heart to turn him away, as she knew the dismal fate which awaited him. Many People I know have similar heart warming stories of Jan’s kind acts. Jan’s kindness should be acknowledged, instead of her being demonised and punished by an unjust bureaucratic system.
