Military reduces use of live animals in training

[Catherine]

Once again public opinion wins where common sense should have prevailed. The military does not want to have the people too strongly against them so they will spare the pigs. They should have had enough sense to know that killing pigs like that was wrong and not really helpful to training medics anyhow.

I am sure they could get their medics to intern for a while in some inner city emergency ward. They will see plenty of wounds.

I don't know how the medics could even work on the pigs. The first rule of medicine is "Do no harm". If you don't start from that point you are on the wrong path.
