Abuse involving Pigs in Military Medical Training  email this discussion to a friend?

darklight21 (15) 6 years ago

This is a total atrocity. It's almost unbelievable. This is an email I received from AnimalPlace.org. I'm posting it here so you can read it for yourself. If you feel as strongly about this abuse as I do please write a letter in protest. The email follows below:Military medical training? Pigs shot and set on fire
A recent article in the New York Times describes how Navy medics are trained in "trauma medicine", "You get a pig and you keep it alive. And every time I did something to help him (the pig), they would wound him again. They shot him twice in the face with a 9- millimeter pistol, and then six times with an AK-47 and then twice with a 12-gauge shotgun. And then he was set on fire." The medic seems to be proud that he kept the pig alive for 15 hours.
New York Times article
What you can do: Write a letter!! Below you will find contact addresses as well as links to find your federal Senate and House representatives. You can also write a letter to the editor of your local paper about this issue.
Points to Address:
- Trainees can learn trauma medicine by shadowing qualified physicians in any of the hundreds of emergency trauma centers in the country.
- It is unecessary and inhumane to inflict severe trauma on animals because of human made conflicts.
- Our world is violent enough, there is no need to add more unecessary suffering, especially not in the name of "education"
