It's a horrifying prospect. The United States military currently uses live
animals in medical training programs.

In one training course, vervet monkeys are given a toxic dose of a drug that
causes seizures and difficulty breathing and can result in death. In another
course, an instructor cuts a live goat with a scalpel to create traumatic
wounds, causing severe bleeding.
These practices continue despite the existence of nonanimal training methods,
including training in civilian trauma centers and simulator use.

Thankfully, Congressman Hank Johnson of Georgia is working to end the cruel use
of monkeys, pigs and goats in military medical training. Congressman Johnson and
our friends at PCRM need your help to get the U.S. military to change. Please
urge your congressperson to co-sign Rep. Johnson's letter to the Army that asks
for an end to the use of animals to train military personnel. Go to:
