University of Washington: Stop surgical training on live animals

ACTION

It’s a shock. The University of Washington has resumed using live animals in surgical training — a useless, inhumane practice.

At our last NARN letter-writing event, many of us wrote letters to the officials and offices below. If you’d like to join the chorus asking the university to stop, write to:

UW Office of Animal Welfare
P.O. Box 357160
Seattle, WA 98195
[email protected]

Paul G. Ramsey, M.D.
CEO, UW Medicine
1959 NE Pacific St
Seattle, WA 98195
[email protected] 

Ana Mari Cauce
UW President
301 Gerberding Hall
P.O. Box 351230
Seattle, WA 98195

Here’s a sample letter:

Dear XYZ,

I’m writing as a Seattle resident/UW alum/WA resident to ask that you stop using live pigs in surgical training, an ethical decision you made five years ago that should not change in light of financial incentives.

As you know, there are excellent — and, despite your recent public statements, sufficient — alternatives that do not involve animals.

Please find your moral compass.

Thank you,
Your name
