dogs military Bolivia trauma trauma training
The video below terrifies me. Not only because it's a video of soldiers stabbing live dogs and then biting their organs, but also because this is what the Bolivian soldiers state the US Army taught them to do to prepare for war. This training partnership is confirmed by a written agreement signed by the two countries. In the U.S., the Department of Defense currently stabs, shoots, poisons, burns, and cuts the limbs off thousands of living animals each year in medical-training exercises. The U.S. exercises differ from those used by the Bolivian military, but the victims are the same—innocent animals.
In these military exercises, Bolivian soldiers state that stray dogs are kidnapped, restrained, violently stabbed and killed. And in the video, the soldiers are seen cutting open the animals and removing their organs. One of the instructors in the video removes a dog's heart, and rubs it on soldiers' faces. Another soldier cuts open a dog's chest and inserts his head into the wound to remove the dog's insides.
This sounds like a bad horror movie, but instead it's the disgusting truth of what is happening to dogs and other animals for military combat training while other more humane and less horrific methods exist.
Please send a letter to the Bolivian government asking them to end trauma training on animals immediately.
Stay loud!

Posted by: erika at March 12, 2009 1:24 PMwow and yet the government still feeds us all this bs about how noble it is be a soldier. if this is what it really is, then it's nothing.
Posted by: Destiney at March 12, 2009 3:10 PMThis item should be on the nightly news, as it is a documented case of cruelty which the citizens of the states deserve to know their tax dollars pay for this "training" also the many more who know the stronger the objection and the sooner it will be stopped. Surely you don't think the Bolivian Government will cease to employ a training technique as long as this Government pays for it's implementation? Perhaps directed to employ? Who knows? I do now believe for a certainty the sonar testing is destroying the senses within some fish and whales, causing them to beach and die-- that hasn't stopped yet either.. Now we have Obama-- and change is suppose to happen. Let's get this story to the nightly news and get Obama on our side in the fight and get the Darn government to stop the plain stupid cruelty. I do especially love dogs.

how can people be so sociopathic as to attack a RESTRAINED being. the dog is chained down and unable to move. not only is this disgusting and useslessly violent, but it is cowardly. they do not even sedate them! they are treating these poor dogs as if they were souless objects. as if they cannot feel a thing. for this to happen and to continue happening is a tragedy that must be ended. this kind of training is unecessary and cruel.
