SAMPLE LETTER � Print/Send This Letter

25th Infantry Division Public Affairs Office; USARPAC Public Affairs Office; U.S. Department of Defense:

I am an advocate of viable research and training. Thus, I agree with medical professionals who find it unnecessary to gun down live pigs with M16A2 and M4 rifles. This drill � which occurred July 18, 2008 at U.S. Army Garrison at Schofield Barracks in Hawaii � relies upon old-fashioned animal experimentation to prepare combat medics for battlefield injuries.

Over 95% of American medical schools do not use animals in surgical training. Most Advanced Trauma Life Support courses have discarded live animal labs. The American College of Surgeons no longer recommends animal experimentation in its curriculum.

Please update Army trauma-management training to reflect modern science. I urge you to replace the maiming and killing of pigs with progressive techniques more relevant to humans.

For example, the American College of Surgeons sanctions Simulab's TraumaMan for Advanced Trauma Life Support. The Combat Trauma Patient Simulation System "provide[s] realistic training" and has reduced trainee dropout rates from 23% to 6%, as reported the U.S. Navy publication CHIPS. Cadavers mechanically equipped to pump artificial blood through vessels can emulate live human surgery.

Overall, animal-free research cuts costs and improves skills. A timely New England Journal of Medicine article highlights the "very detailed feedback and...more subtle measurement of trainee performance" gained from virtual reality simulators. The article summarizes: Inanimate models are "safe, reproducible, portable, readily available, and...cost-effective."

I respectfully ask the U.S. Army and Department Of Defense to evolve with the most humane and proficient technologies available. Please implement animal-free labs to instruct Army personnel in the management of critically wounded soldiers.

Thank you,

about web petitions
When you use the web petition instead of direct-send, your comments — and everyone else's — come from one place: Our website server.

WEB PETITIONS REQUIRE THE LEAST EFFORT, BUT SOMETIMES CAN:
  • Create a spam effect that angers recipients and hurts outcome for animals.
  • Compel recipients to block the entire petition, so no one's comments get through.


Your own voice makes more impact. Try to change some words in letter.
