Dear,
I need your help to end the
horrific war on animals that is being waged by military forces around the world.
Not long ago, PETA and military doctors published a
study showing that the U.S., Canada, Norway, Denmark, the U.K., and Poland were the only six NATO countries—out of 28—that still stab, shoot, blow up, and kill animals for cruel military training drills.
Now, we have obtained shocking photos of a crude training course conducted by the military of Denmark, with participation from the U.K. military, showing live pigs hung from a wooden frame and shot with rifles and handguns.Similar exercises are being conducted in Canada and Norway, even though superior lifelike human simulation technology exists and is already being used instead of animals by more than 80 percent of NATO nations. Further, Denmark, the U.K., Norway, and Canada all have regulations requiring the use of non-animal training methods whenever they exist.
Our international campaign to end this cruelty has recently prompted these countries to acknowledge publicly that their military animal laboratories are under "significant scrutiny" and may have to be "completely eliminated."
We've already convinced
Poland's armed forces to replace their use of animals for medical training with modern simulators and prompted the
U.S. Army and the
U.S. Coast Guard to reduce their use of animals substantially, but there is still important work left to do.
We now need your help to end the global military war on animals for good!
Please click here to contact military officials in Canada, Norway, Denmark, and the U.K. and urge them to comply with relevant laws and completely replace the crude use of animals in military trauma training with superior non-animal training methods.Thank you for all that you are doing to help animals!
Sincerely,
