[southBayVeggies] Fw: Help Stop North Dakota State's Cruel Pig Lab

 

 

 

 

Hi friends,

 

I have taken part in trauma training and they use human looking dummies. Pigs

bodies, i.e. their chest cavities and veins, are so differently arranged than

humans that it will not duplicate the experience. Please email the instigator

of this cruel practice: philip.boudjouk. (Since I've forwarded this

message to you, the 'automatic email' doesn't work. Sorry about this - I am not

computer savvy).

 

Thanks for your help,

 

Doris Sarni

Help Stop North Dakota State's Cruel Pig Lab

 

PCRM Action Alert " border=0>

 

Dear Dr. Sarni,

Later this week, North Dakota State University in Fargo will conduct a trauma

training course in which live pigs are scheduled to have tubes and needles

inserted into their chest cavities and hearts. Please tell the school that this

needs to stop.

Please send an e-mail to Philip Boudjouk, Ph.D., North Dakota State University

(NDSU) vice president for research, creative activities, and technology

transfer. Under Dr. Boudjouk’s watch, NDSU was fined $12,000 for repeated

violations of the federal Animal Welfare Act. Ask him to replace the use of pigs

in all Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) courses with validated nonanimal

training methods. Being polite is the most effective way to help these animals

and improve medical education. Send an automatic e-mail.

Philip Boudjouk, Ph.D.

Vice President for Research, Creative Activities, and Technology Transfer

North Dakota State University

1735 NDSU Research Park Drive

P.O. Box 6050 - Dept. 4000

Fargo, ND 58108-6050

Tel.: 701-231-6542

E-mail: philip.boudjouk

While participants in the ATLS program at NDSU still use live pigs, 95 percent

of such programs in the United States and Canada use only human-based medical

simulators like the TraumaMan System. Tomorrow, PCRM will ask the governor of

North Dakota to investigate NDSU’s repeated violations of the Animal Welfare

Act and halt the ATLS program’s use of animals.

Please call or e-mail Dr. Boudjouk today and ask him to have NDSU join the

majority of institutions that use only human-based trauma training methods.

Thank you for all of your help.

Best regards,
