To my friends: I received this email bellow, please, it´ll be important if you can help to support PETA activities. Love and peace, Sandra

There's a shocking military scandal that you may not know about: the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) is directly responsible for the extreme suffering of countless goats, pigs, monkeys, and other animals.

Every year, thousands of live animals are shot, stabbed, dismembered, burned, and poisoned in routine trauma-training exercises under the misguided notion that such cruelty will prepare medics and members of the infantry to deal with battlefield injuries. It's horrific but true: The DoD subjects animals to every kind of violent injury that happens on the battlefield.

But despite effective and painless non-animal alternatives available for these trainings—including the DoD's own Combat Trauma Patient Simulator—the Department continues to maim and kill countless individual animals in gruesome and totally unnecessary ways, including the following:

Goats are stabbed, their veins are cut open, their chests are wounded, and their legs are amputated.
For military trauma training in Hawaii, pigs are shot, mutilated, and killed after enduring a five-day journey on crowded cargo ships.
These and other DoD-authorized but needless training exercises—and the horrific pain and suffering that they inflict on countless individual animals—could be stopped today without compromising military readiness or training.

It's urgent that we take action NOW to save these animals. Please join with PETA today by asking President Obama to issue an executive order immediately requiring the DoD to replace its use and abuse of live animals with more effective non-animal methods.

This is a fight that we can win—with your help.

Just last month, after intense pressure from PETA and our supporters around the world, the Bolivian government banned "the abuse and sacrifice of animals" in military exercises. This came just days after we released a shocking video that showed dogs who were mutilated alive during "training" exercises conducted by the Bolivian military. It's also that country's very first animal protection regulation.

PETA pressure works, and—with your support—we will do whatever is needed to persuade the DoD to stop hurting animals.

PETA leads the fight to stop animal testing. Our goal is to expose the abuse wherever it occurs, call in our activist "troops" to shut it down, and push for more effective and cruelty-free alternatives. But we need your support to win this battle against the DoD and others like it.



Kind regards,


Ingrid E. Newkirk
President

P.S. Please let President Obama know that current DoD training that abuses animals must end. Send an e-mail urging the President to issue an executive order now requiring the DoD to replace cruel trauma-training exercises on live animals with safe, effective, readily available, and cruelty-free alternatives.

I heard on a TV show last night in the UK that seal culling is going on in Scotland. It is because the seals eat the salmon that are farmed there.

The Saddest Job of All
We are meant to be their guardians, but sadly, many companion animals have been relegated to lives that do not even meet minimum standards of care. Read about why sometimes euthanasia is the compassionate option.
