Dear USDA:
I am deeply concerned that the use of live pigs in the University of South Carolina's medical program is unnecessarily cruel. We no longer live in the Victorian age. Other ways of teaching medicine are available. There is reason to be concerned when even the university's fellow doctors are worried that the pigs are mistreated. The Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine has asked you to investigate and, as needed, intervene. I am writing today to support that request. Please look into the use of live pigs at University of South Carolina.
