TAGGED:
Remember a couple of months ago when Bolivia banned the use of animals in all military tests? Well for years PETA has been pushing the United States to do the same.
Through the Freedom of Information Act, the Physicians Committeee for Responsible Medicine (PRCM) has obtained video footage of several Department of Defense military trauma training exercises, and if you've ever needed anymore evidence as to just how cruel, unusual and outright disgusting these needless tests are, see below.
In training exercises that are supposed to simulate the effects of a nerve agent attack, monkeys experience seizures and difficulty breathing. Using monkeys in this exercise is profoundly inhumane, and it also distracts military personnel from the real-world, clinically valid training they need to treat chemical casualties.
Every year, thousands of live animals are shot, stabbed, dismembered, burned, and poisoned in Department of Defense (DoD) training exercises designed to train medics and infantry in how to treat various human battlefield injuries.
What can you do to help? Ask the Department of Defense to act now to end military trauma testing on animals.
Stay loud!

War should be prevented this is encouraging war. How can they protect humans if they hurt animals.
There are many ways to help learn medical research and ia truely not of them. I see no benefit in the torture of these poor animals/

Posted by: Hayley at August 27, 2009 9:17 PMHi you guys need to stop crying about experiments on animals. Good things can come from it, is the animal you or your parents or your siblings or any other part of your family? I guessing not. So stop making a big deal about things that aren't that bad. I understand people caring about abuse on pet and other animals but not on experiments that could help us in the future.

I see that you did not want to leave your name with that outragous comment you made. It sickens me that there are people in the world like you! I am guessing that you are an animal abuser yourself and can not say your name in fear that someone would find out your ugly secret!!!
Research and Biology classes don't have to use animals to find cures and information. We have advanced so rapid in the last 10 years that we can save innocent animals the HORRIFIC PAINFUL lives that they endure, there are laws against harming animals (not harsh enough penilities) and yet it is legal to test on them. Torture is torture by the hands of any abusers whether it be in the name of science/research or not!
