Re: PETA wants military to stop using animals in medical training

In medicine they have machines that simulate what it's like to perform surgery or perform say, a gynecological exam. I'm sure it's not 100% the same as putting your hand in a real body or in the case of military flight simulators which imitate what it's like to pilot a plane, as good as flying in a real plane, but from what I have read in articles from doctors and military people, it's an adequate comparison.
I don't know statistically how close these machines come to accurate simulation, I'm sorry I can't answer that.

Have you happened to see any documented footage of these military animal tests, Spot? It's quite upsetting. A pig screaming in pain because its skin has been burned off is not a sound you forget.
