tulaneHelp PCRM stop the Tulane University School of Medicine from using anesthetized live pigs as objects for their training. Once the training session is complete, the pigs are killed.

Only 5% of schools are using this method of teaching in this type of course. PCRM is asking everyone to call/email and ask the Tulane University senior vice president and dean Benjamin Sachs, M.B., to stop using this cruel and outdated practice.

Here is the contact info:

Benjamin P. Sachs, M.B.
Senior Vice President and Dean
Tulane University School of Medicine
1430 Tulane Ave., SL 77
New Orleans, LA 70112
E-mail: bsachs@tulane.edu
Phone: 504-988-5462

95% of schools that offer this course use medical simulators such as the TraumaMan System. Isn’t that better than taking the life of a pig. People say all the time that animals are needed to save lives. That this is why we test on them. But Tulane proves right here that in many cases animals are not needed as test subjects to save lives. Help stop Tulane and save the lives of these pigs.

    Wow. I just wrote a post today that opened with the statement that you don’t read much in the news today that is positive about Louisiana. Then I end up at your blog with your two most recent Take Action Fridays telling us about horrible animal rights violations occurring in that very state, my home state.

    Really bums me out.

    It makes me feel good that the state has people like you making a difference:) Plus, green housing in New Orleans!

    I’ve never actually been there before but I hope to go one day:)
