RESPONSE: In reply to pigs being shot.

This is the most absurd thing I have ever heard. If these young Army medical doctors need emergency lifesaving training, send them to the nearest trauma hospital.

They will no doubt get better training on all sorts of wounds than on pigs.

If any of these pigs “survive” this training session, will they be spared, given government pensions, lifetime medical care or will they wind up on the table?

Of course, shooting pigs, saving pigs, then barbecuing pigs can cover three of the Army’s training sessions; sharp shooters, emergency medical training and the cooks.
