GLOBAL DAY OF ACTION AGAINST PROCTER & GAMBLE
10th Annual Worldwide Protest Against Animal Tests Takes Place May 20th
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Global Day of Action against Procter & Gamble's (P&G's) needless killing of tens of tens of thousands of animals in painful, archaic and entirely unnecessary product tests. The Global Day of Action Against P&G remains as important now as it was a decade ago because the gigantic multinational corporation continues to test their products on animals, even while hundreds of other companies have switched over to more effective methods of testing that don't harm animals.

LAST BIG MED SCHOOLS WITH ANIMAL LABS
Let's show the evil vivisectors who cut open, burn, mutilate, and torture animals in the most horrendous ways imaginable that they cannot hide behind their walls of fraudulent science and grant money. Let's tell them that there are far better research modalities that should be utilized in the 21st Century in order to save the lives of sick humans.

HELP STOP "CRUELTY 101"
Ohio State University is offering a course that some have termed "Cruelty 101."
Ohio State University (OSU) is hosting a course that many physicians are calling a pointless exercise in cruelty. Nicknamed "Cruelty 101," the course attempts to instruct students in spinal cord injury research methods. Unfortunately, students will not be focusing on the research techniques without animals. Throughout the course, students will be taught how to break or otherwise injure the spinal cords of nearly 270 mice and rats and perform other diagnostic, behavioral, and invasive procedures

STOP THE LATEST MEDICAL SCHOOL IN THE USA THAT USE LIVE DOGS
The Medical College of Wisconsin is the latest school to enter the debate on the use of animals in teaching. Twenty years ago, live dogs were commonly used in physiology, pharmacology, and surgery classes at medical schools. A standard laboratory exercise involved anesthetizing dogs, followed by injecting pharmaceuticals or practicing surgical techniques. After the class, the animals were killed.

ANOTHER MED SCHOOL DROPS LIVE ANIMAL LAB
OIPA has learned that East Tennessee State University - James Quillen College of Medicine has joined PCRM's list of medical schools with NO live animal labs. The surgery department will no longer use live pigs, instead, they'll use simulation technology available at their campus.
