Despite opposition for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and other groups, the U.S. Army is going ahead with it's plan to shoot pigs. They are doing this as a training tool for soldiers who are training for battlefield medical trauma.
There are more advanced and humane options available, including high-tech human simulators that could be used instead. But the Army is moving forward because they are being conducted under the Department of Agriculture license. They say that the pigs will be under the careful supervision of veterinarians.
Hm. But won't it still cause indescribable pain for the pigs? How come the public allows this? Have we become so callas that we don't have compassion for our fellow beings? So, which do you think is worse, being shot or living in an industrial pig farm? As the saying goes, there is a reason slaughterhouses don't have windows.
