Trauma Training in North Dakota Goes Forward

Although PCRM fought hard, and thousands of people contacted North Dakota State University to voice their opposition to the cruel and unnecessary use of pigs in the NDSU/MeritCare trauma training course, four pigs were indeed used and killed yesterday. This campaign didn't meet with success, but we should remember that other similar campaigns have--and will. And we can also hope (and insist) that this will be the last time North Dakota and MeritCare use live animals. PCRM is now petitioning the school's provost and vice president to prevent all future use of pigs. Please go here to join that effort: Save Pigs from Future Trauma Training Courses in North Dakota. And you can find other PCRM petitions aimed at stopping live animal labs here.
