ＰＥＴＡの働きかけにより、大学よりＰＥＴＡに返答がよせられました。

Memorial University of Newfoundland 動物実験をしないことを決定しました。2008までのすべての動物の使用をなくすそうです。

ハーバード、エール、スタンフォードを含むアメリカでは３分の２の大学の授業で、動物実験を廃止しております。カナダでも１１の医学大学で動物実験は行っていません。

大学にサンキューレターを書いてください。

Memorial University of Newfoundland Raises the Bar on Humane Medical
Education

Until recently, Memorial University of Newfoundland葉he largest school in
the Atlantic Canadian region熔ffered more than 10 medical courses that used
animals in procedures ranging from chest tube insertions to invasive surgery
techniques. More than two-thirds of all U.S. medical schools, including
those at Harvard, Yale, and Stanford, and 11 Canadian medical schools do not
use any animals in their educational curricula.

When PETA learned about Memorial University's heavily animal-based medical
curriculum, they sent school officials an urgent plea
<http://www.stopanimaltests.com/pdfs/MU_letter.pdf> alerting them to the
many non-animal teaching methods that are available. After considering these
alternatives, the university's vice president wrote to PETA
<http://www.stopanimaltests.com/pdfs/MU_victory.pdf> and agreed that the use
of animals for educational purposes should stop, writing the following:

[T]he use of animals for teaching purposes has been eliminated from the
undergraduate medical program of Memorial University with one exception.
Fully-validated non-animal-based alternatives to that laboratory are being
explored. If successful, it is possible the use of animals for teaching
purposes in this program could be completely eliminated by the 2007-2008
academic year.

Memorial University's decision adds another prominent participant to the
growing trend of moving away from the use of animals in medical education.
What You Can Do

Please write to Memorial University and thank the school for choosing to end
the majority of its animal-based medical courses in favor of more humane
non-animal methods. Also, *politely* ask that the school move swiftly to
adopt a non-animal alternative to its one remaining undergraduate medical
course that uses animals:

Christopher Loomis, Ph.D.
Vice President, Research
Office of Research
Memorial University of Newfoundland
Inco Innovation Centre
Second Fl., Rm. IIC 2015
230 Elizabeth Ave.
St. Johns, NL A1C 5S7
Canada

If you know about a university course that uses live animals for teaching
purposes, politely speak or write to the instructor and ask that he or she
use more humane non- animal methods instead.

If the instructor dismisses your concerns, take your complaint to the
president of the university預nd remember to be polite!

If you still keep running into resistance, please email me about the
animal-based course, including the names of the university, course, and
instructor(s) as well as information about how the animals are used. We will
help you work to get non-animal methods implemented in the curriculum.
