US Military Shooting Live Animals For Training
U.S. Military Shooting and Burning Live Monkeys, Goats, and Pigs in Trauma Training
The Department of Defense is shooting and burning monkeys, pigs, and goats in combat training exercises for servicemen and servicewomen—even though more effective non-animal simulators are readily available. Leading medical experts agree that these simulators offer superior training. In addition to being cruel, this outmoded practice is a disservice to the men and women who risk their lives in defense of our country and who deserve the most effective trauma training methods available.
PETA is calling for an immediate end to all use of animals in trauma training exercises. Most medical schools long ago ended the use of animals for trauma training.
Many humane alternatives for trauma training are readily available, including the following:
• Having military level one trauma centers work with the community and take care of the entire population of their city
• The Combat Trauma Patient Simulation System, which "provide[s] realistic training" and dropped the trainee attrition rate from 23 percent to 6 percent, according to CHIPS (the U.S. Navy's information technology magazine)
• Simulab Corporation's TraumaMan system, which has been approved by the American College of Surgeons for teaching Advanced Trauma Life Support
• Dr. Emad Aboud's "living" cadaver perfusion model, which has been endorsed by more than 20 surgeons and used in surgical training at universities in the U.S. and abroad
You Can Help
Medical experts agree that there is no need to shoot pigs and goats and to burn monkeys with chemical weapons to teach soldiers and medics how to treat human injuries. Please help animals who are suffering in Department of Defense trauma training exercises by using the form below to send a quick message to Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates respectfully urging him to replace the use of animals with non-animal methods.
Please contact the Department of Defense today by filling out their Ask A Question web form.

Sample Letter
I was shocked to learn that the Department of Defense is shooting live pigs and goats and burning monkeys in trauma training exercises. There is no justification for this cruelty. The majority of medical schools in North America no longer use animals for medical trauma training, and more effective humane alternatives are readily available. I respectfully request that you adopt PETA's recommendations and take immediate action to end the needless suffering of animals in these outdated training exercises.
Barbaric US brutality on animals
animals for good earth... we used to hear this kind of trainings on dogs by terrorist chemical experts... one more time that there is no difference between a terrorist organization and US military

Sorry Hasta, I find this equally as barbaric as the ritualistic slaughter of the hundreds of millions of animals by yours and other religions, that aside it’s a pretty poor attempt at propaganda……

oh nooo, this is so sad. I have hard of animals being killed in survival training in the military, but that can be done humanely. This trauma training will cause so much suffering before death.

The US Military executed and executes whole (human) communities without facing any consequences. So why should anyone be bothered if they shoot animals?

as you scare to torture bigger animals to be eaten by them it's normal you're busy with torturing little ones which can't harm you.

BRAVO! that's the point of topic. to the US people none of the communities are important but themselves.
US people scare to admit their cruelity on not only animals but also humans. world witness it everyday... an actual truth. that is the reason Iraqis hate them although US claim they are serving freedom to Iraqis. it is too much strange and backs this cruelty

Just because you have a burning desire to spread hatred doesn't mean others can't comment.

Your inability to read minor sarcasm is your own personal problem, not anyone else's.
From here on out everyone gets back on topic. Discuss the topic at hand: If there are accusations made they should be backed up. Ones considered as excuses to attack or extraneous will be deleted.

Oh how you just wish there was a shred of truth there......
The only truth here is that you only show up to put down my country, I for the life of me don't understand why the mods haven't seen this pattern and banned your hateful ass.

I'm not a great fan of the government of the US, I disagree with a lot of ideas and things they do and on how they sometimes act and I do think there might be some sicko's out there who do things that aren't appropiate(like throwing a puppy off a clif), but I don't think the whole damn army uses animals for target practise. If so then it'd be on the news ages ago!!!
Besides I think lots of people wouldn't want to shoot an animal anyways. There are animallovers in the army too.
If you leave out the Bush person, the racists, the extreme religious sektes, the homophobia, the war, the eternal hatred on communism and some ignorance some have there... US it a nice country. 
At least it will protect us if some crazy ass country tries to attack us.

Shooting and burning monkeys, goats & pigs?
