Continue to Speak Up for Pigs in North Dakota

Since late Thursday night, and as of this writing, about 270 beautiful people have signed the petition on this site (in addition to all the people who have sent a message directly via PCRM) asking North Dakota State University to cancel the use and killing of pigs in a trauma training course today--and in the future. I checked in with someone at Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine this morning to see where things stand, and although there's no indication yet that the training has been canceled, it's possible that the pigs won't be used until tomorrow. So keep e-mailing--that is, signing the petition--and (politely) calling today. It's worth a shot.
