Stop Cruel medical training programs! Cosign Rep. Hank Johnson’s Letter to the Army
Ask Your Congressperson to Cosign Rep. Hank Johnson’s Letter to the Army
Congressman Hank Johnson of Georgia is working to end the use of animals in military medical training, but he needs your help. Urge your congressperson to cosign Rep. Johnson’s letter to the Army that asks for an end to the cruel and ineffective use of monkeys, goats, and pigs to train military personnel. Contact your representative now.
Currently, the United States military uses live animals in medical training programs. In one 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 superior nonanimal training methods.
Direct contact from constituents like you can persuade your congressperson to cosign Rep. Johnson’s important letter, helping to make military medical training more effective and humane.
Please call or e-mail your representative today, and then forward this message to your friends. Thank you for your help.
This is a one-time pledge that can be fulfilled any time.
