Guest guest Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 One more medical schooldrops its live animal lab.Now just 10 more to go! Dear Ms. Morin, Last week we confirmed that Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis—ranked no. 4 among U.S. medical schools—has discontinued its use of live pigs in a student cardiovascular lab. This comes on the heels of New York Medical College announcing the end to its use of live dogs in a first-year physiology course. Both of these schools ended their labs after months of pressure from PCRM. This is another victory for helpless animals and you, the people who care about them. Your support has made our persistence and efforts pay off. But our work is not done, and we need your support as we go into 2008. Now there are only 10 medical schools left with cruel live animal labs, even though superior teaching tools exist. Those schools are: The Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Medical College of Wisconsin Oregon Health & Science University School of Medicine Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences School of Medicine University of Minnesota Medical School University of Mississippi School of Medicine University of Tennessee College of Medicine University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health PCRM, with the help of our member doctors and concerned citizens, supporters, and allies, will continue working in 2008 to end live animal labs in these 10 remaining schools. We will also continue our fight to stop animal cruelty in testing facilities, promote alternatives to animal dissection in classrooms, and advocate for lifesaving nutrition policies and practices. Be a part of this important work with a generous, tax-deductible year-end gift to help us save even more lives in 2008. Best wishes for a wonderful new year! Best regards, Neal Barnard, M.D.PCRM President P.S. Please consider a gift of $35.00 or more this holiday season to give hope to the people and animals we help. When you donate today, your gift will go directly to our lifesaving programs! P.P.S.
