As part of the third year surgery rotation, live pigs are anesthetized and cut open to teach surgical procedures. At the end of the class, the pigs are killed and disposed of as waste.
It’s time for Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine to stop using cruel and outdated practices – inflicting pain and suffering on defenseless animals – and start using computer simulation and other available teaching alternatives!
Tell Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine to eliminate its live animal teaching lab before the start of the next surgery rotation on March 24. Stop teaching cruelty to animals and start teaching compassionate medicine!
