The Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS) has just announced that it's ending the use of animals in its Early Management of Severe Trauma (EMST) program. This means that by the end of the year, civilian and military surgeons throughout Australia will no longer be forced to cut holes into the throats, chests, or limbs of live pigs and sheep.
Instead, they'll now learn how to treat traumatic injuries the way they do in the U.S. and much of the world: using advanced human-simulation technology.
This victory follows an extensive, nearly four-year campaign by PETA, PETA Australia, and Humane Research Australia—which included tens of thousands of e-mails from you and others to RACS officials through PETA's online action alert, a PETA Australia petition with more than 100,000 signatures, and thought-provoking ads and protests.
