UM: Iggy Pop

By

The Detroit News reports that rock icon Iggy Pop has sent a letter to UM president Mary Sue Coleman, asking that the university stop using animals to train nurses in life-saving techniques. According to the report, his letter states, in part: “It’s common sense that cutting apart pigs and maiming cats isn’t the best way to train people to treat humans. U-M should not be harming animals when better alternatives are available and already in use on campus. Please make the switch to non-animal training methods for U-M’s survival flight course.” [Source]
