Help Farm Sanctuary Save Sheep from Cruel and Unnecessary Training Exercises
 (5/21/09)

This week Massachusetts General Hospital killed live sheep in a trauma training course, despite the fact that more than 90 percent of such courses in the nation rely exclusively on human-based simulators rather than live animals. Continuing to use sheep in this way is both outmoded and cruel. 

At Farm Sanctuary we know that sheep are extremely sensitive animals who should be spared from such suffering. That’s why we’re determined to put an end to this cruel and unnecessary practice. 

But we need your help to do so. So please, take a minute now to send a quick and easy e-mail urging the course director at Massachusetts General Hospital to join the majority of other schools that have put such cruel training methods behind.  Remember to personalize your message with your own words and experiences to make your voice stronger and more effective.

After you’ve sent an e-mail, please forward this message to your friends and family members who care about the humane treatment of animals.
