Israeli Defense Force

Testing Explosives on Live Pigs

  Dr. Ephraim Sneh

  Deputy Minister of Defense

  Ministry of Defense

  Haqirya, 61909

  Tel-Aviv, Israel

 

Dear Dr. Sneh:

 

I am extremely upset to learn that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF)

has declared war on the animals. I understand that, not only have dogs

been used in cruel and outdated Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS)

training exercises, but live pigs have also been subjected to barbaric

explosives experiments.

    

According to an article in the March 17 issue of Ha' aretz, live pigs

were bound, placed in trailers, and blown up with explosives

comparable to those used in Scud missiles. An Israeli soldier

described what he saw: " When we opened the [trailer] door, we had to

turn our heads away. The pigs were lying there, crying and squealing.

It was obvious that the blast wave had blown them up internally

and that the glass that flew in all directions from the shattered

windows had cut them on the outside. The walls were covered in the

blood, urine, and feces of the bound pigs. They looked at us with

wide, beseeching eyes that were filled with horror. " The animals were

reportedly photographed and then taken, " screeching and bloodied, " to

an unnamed institute for further study.

    

I know that the IDF is tragically familiar with the effects that

explosives have on the human body. Therefore, there is no excuse for

subjecting innocent, sentient, intelligent beings to the horrifying

and immoral and Mengele-like experiments described in the pages of

Ha'aretz.

    

Medical literature from around the world contains countless

descriptions of clinical human effects of explosives. If the IDF

insists on conducting explosives experiments, I would ask that it use

soft soap blocks and other substances specifically designed to

simulate human tissue, both of which have been widely used in wound

experiments in Europe and America.

 

Please stop this torture of innocent creatures immediately. Such

cruelty cannot be tolerated by civilized society. I would expect you

to be more sensitive to the Nazi-like experimentation upon living

beings without their consent. This detracts from, not contributes to,

both our humanity and the advancement of useful medical diagnosis and

treatment.

 

Thank you for your time. I look forward to your reply.

 

Sincerely,

If anyone would like to e-mail the minister, try e.sneh

(e.sneh at knesset.gov.il). I have'nt yet tried it out myself, I found

that in a list archive and am hoping that it will work.
