UM: PETA

By

The Detroit News reports that the animal rights group PETA is asking for a federal investigation of UM’s Survival Flight course, which includes training on cats and pigs. The article quotes Justin Goodman, associate director of PETA’s Laboratory Investigations: “It’s outrageous, absolutely indefensible and we believe illegal for the university to continue maiming and killing cats and pigs for medical training purposes for which they have already deemed simulators to be educationally superior to animal use.” UM officials defend the use of animals in training.
