Tell the Department of Defense: Stop Killing Animals

Every single year the U.S. military kills more than 8,500 live animals in combat trauma training courses. It’s horrible.

These innocent animals suffer from their birth until their death.  First, they’re caged and confined, waiting to be shipped off to a training site. When they arrive, the cruelty gets intense.  Goats and pigs may have their legs chopped off, throats cut open, or may even be stabbed, shot, and burned to mimic battlefield wounds. Then, they’ll be killed.

Senselessly killing animals to teach our military medics is not only wrong — it is ineffective! Simulators provide a much more relevant training experience for our troops, and would save thousands of animal lives each year.

You can help stop this abuse. Sign the petition — urge the Department of Defense to switch to nonanimal training methods once and for all!.
